How do I get more sales?

[Former_Member]

I would really like to know how I can improve and HOPEFULLY get more sales! Are there any tips or tricks I should know?

Hi Tera, I am not an expert but my opinion is that you need more items - I had very low sales when I had few items

I have heard that too. It's hard! Haha. I gotta sell stuff to make money to buy the stuff to make more STUFF! hahaha. Oh well. It will happen over time. I did make a sale today! 2nd sale since I reopened my shop.

Hi Tera!

I'm not an expert either and I'm struggling with my shop as well but its always easier looking in, isn't it? Your shop is actually pretty stunning!! I get your BRAND and I know it's not hard to keep creating when you're just starting out. I learned a few tricks along the way, including networking (favoriting items/shops, following fellow etsyians, creating treasuries and just getting involved in the community) this increases traffic and ultimately SEO ( i believe)

Also, you should offer custom orders. So even if you only have 20 items in your shop by offering variations like different sizes of Wreaths , candlesticks and table runners you can broaden your market.

Joining this team is a great start! Good luck. :)

Oh also if you offered those bottles in bulk, they'd make awesome wedding centerpieces. Think about what you can get multiple orders on and market to the wedding world!

Your shop looks beautiful! I agree that you need more items perhaps. Maybe something as easy as different color flowers on your wreaths. Also, do you do custom orders? If so that something I would like to be told in your welcome sentences

Thank you guys so much for the advice! I will definitely do custom orders! I am still learning all the little things. And I had never thought about doing bulk orders. :)
