My celebration: Since opening on January 11 with this shop, I have averaged 150 views per day, got my listings to 45, and had 6 sales!!!

Great idea! I like the idea of celebrating one another! That's awesome about you new shop Jacque.

[Former_Member]

Thank you so much Tori! I love your shop, especially the cute scrapbooking pages!

I got 100 fav's on one of my items for the first time. People just love Harry Potter. It's a small celebrations, but I'm so happy about it.

That's great! And such a cute box! Have you sold any of those yet? I'm sure they would do well at craft fairs, especially ones with kids & families.

I just completed and sold my 1st custom listing today!

Congrats on the sales in your new store, Sonia!

My good news this month is I've reached 150 etsy sales, and this month has been the biggest month for views so far.

[Former_Member]

26 sales in 3 weeks of opening!!! YIPPEEE!

[Former_Member]

Wow, 26 sales in 3 weeks. It took me 10 months to reach that.
Congrats on all the sales

@Jacque congrats on the new shop. I still dont know how someone can handle 2 shops on etsy. Great job.

[Former_Member]

Thank you Cindy! It can be a bit crazy at times, but neither shop is consistently busy where I am pulling my hair out....YET! LOL!

[Former_Member]

I am celebrating 2 special orders outside of etsy. I am doing favors and centerpieces for 2 weddings. Along with my 2 orders for favors for a Christening and a Communion. Keeping busy.

[Former_Member]

Congrats Cindy! That should, in fact, keep someone busy! And congrats Jacque! I admire someone who has the courage to open a second shop. I am currently thinking of this myself as I really need/want to destash beads and inventory.

Last two weeks were so bad here, so when I made a 130$ sale this weekend, I was so happy! It just gives you the motivation to keep swimming!

I feel like I'm on the Etsy rollercoaster sometimes!

[Former_Member]

NICE!!! Congrats Christina! I've heard that destash shops do REALLY well! People are ALWAYS looking for supplies. In my bath & body shop, I have started adding my extra supplies to a Supplies section in my shop and it has helped get some sales I wouldn't normally have.

This shop here is an easier shop to run because I just spend time making the printables, but after that all I need to do is send an e-mail when I get sales.

[Former_Member]

Thanks! I know, destash shops do really well. I also got some very competitive prices from one of my supplier so maybe, just maybe, I'll do a bit than destash my own stuff!

I really need a printable shop! lol! I would love it if I could turn my day job (registered dietician) into a etsy "printables" shop! Just need an original idea and a lot of work! lol

[Former_Member]

How's the destash plans going Christina?

[Former_Member]

I just have to say that I love the name of this team! lol Hope it comes true soon!

[Former_Member]

You can do it Pandi!!! Your shop is too cute!

[Former_Member]

Celebrating that I move into my new place on Friday!! And I have a basement for my bath & body products, supplies, and materials! Woooo!

[Former_Member]

Congrats Jacque! Ooo Basement for your business, that's so cool! I was thinking of converting my "computer room"/office to my work room... we'll see when that happens.

[MyMainePaintings]

OMG, congratulations!!!! What a beautiful painting! I know the new owner is going to be so happy to hang in their home!

[dorsetclothing]

[Former_Member]

I've finally crossed the 80 listings mark! My goal is to reach 100 listings and see how my sales are affected. 50 didn't see much spark..but am optimistic so far!

[PlainJBodyandHome]
