Etsy Success Story
The Black Apple has sold over 8,500 pieces on Etsy in the past 2 years.
What do you think is your key to selling success on Etsy?
I think that it is [a mixture of] listing frequently, creating new pieces, prices, customer service, packaging…and luck, to be honest…I like to have a variety of prices in my shop and at shows…I think that’s a key.
How do you promote your shop?
Word-of-mouth is my best promotional friend…most of it began with my Etsy shop…now that I have my blog, and it has a pretty big readership, that helps people find me, but most of my connections come from Etsy.
