January sales on Etsy, and the Etsy Heart Exchanger

Image
After my last post, I ended up with many sales for January. I had several on both Etsy shops. I had 7 sales in them and I was able to finally get a few items sold I otherwise was not able to for years. One of them was a little Napco figurine that I had listed for 3-4 years. I was going to let the listing run out on Etsy and put it up in my home because I figured it would not ever sell. So now it is at a new home and I do not have to do that. I have listed a good amount in January and made some new cross necklaces and working on a new Wall cross. I will get it done sooner or later. I will then be finished with the wall crosses until later on when a few have sold. I found a new extension that is called the 'Etsy Heart Exchanger' on Google. It really helps to get the views and hearts needed daily for your shops.  New cross necklace s https://www.etsy.com/listing/495266922/silver-cross-disk-necklace-19-inches?ref=listing-shop-header-0

Customer issues on Etsy and eBay

Throughout the time of 3 years that I have been selling online, for the most part, the customers are great. But, then there are the few that really cause problems. I always do the best I can to be honest and pack everything very well. I always give feedback through eBay if something sells on there. I write notes to every customer, or send a type written one to them, to thank them for buying from my shops. I always ask for feedback, but much of the time feedback is not left. But, I can't harass customers for it. The last few months I have had a few items that broke, or someone claims that something was not as said. Yesterday, I receive a knife butcher block back in the mail with no warning from buyer. I sold this over a month ago, and had no clue the buyer was not happy and was sending it back. She claimed that it did not stand up.. I put it on the table and it was sitting as pictures showed and very well. She put a note in the box she wanted the money refunded. Well, hmmm. No ema...

Etsy for November 2016

Well It has been about a month since Etsy stopped the Treasuries. I thought I would see how things went since now they are gone. Well, at this time there seems to be much silence. Very few emails now and the way I have to promote is much different. I have chosen to go to different shops every week and find some newer shops to promote. I have handmade lists that I use to promote these shops. I try to go through all the lists and delete the ones that have sold that week. One list in particular is for Christmas gifts. I have many of my regulars (shop owners who have become friends) in which I continue to promote each week. I also use Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Twitter, and now Instagram more so than ever before. I also am going to the teams and promoting more and even considering starting my own, but not sure what I would call it. It is harder, more difficult to get an item promoted all these different ways. Instagram is new to me, I tried to understand it in the past, but had no such ...
