What is your Etsy store. I would love to take a look. Etsy is my favorite store to shop. I prefer handmade items, than mass produced.

I know for me this is true. I have only done this one time. I sent a message to the person. She responded to me so fast.. I was not sure before she did that that I wanted to buy the product. With her doing that I knew I wanted to buy the item. For one I did need the item second this let me know that I could trust her..

I’m not a fan of Etsy due to the many policy changes that are unfavorable to sellers, and they frequently close shop owners' stores for unknown reasons. I wish Etsy CEO would step down, or the board would force him to leave. However, renting a month-to-month mall space is far too expensive when factoring in insurance, worker’s compensation, electricity, inventory, and giving up a percentage of sales on top of monthly rent, and let’s include all the red tape have to go through to open a store. To me, considering all of this, it’s not worth the headache or the expenses that come with running a temporary store. Another issue is that malls no longer attract the same level of foot traffic they did 10 years ago. Most mall tenants, from name brands to startups, are struggling to meet their profit margins. Why? The simple fact is that online retailers have changed the way consumers shop.This generation and the next do most of their shopping online and only visit malls to hang out. If you were to take all the expenses of running a temporary store and invest them in your online store instead, your profit margins would likely be much better. Alternatively, if you want the experience of direct customer contact without the high expenses of renting a store, a flea market or art show would be a better option while still maintaining your online store. 😎

@@Elisa_DoesLifeI’d compare her to a prosperity preacher but instead of the church she’s using KZbin at her platform. Her motivation is solely getting your money its a simple as that. She’s a compulsive liar who has to clickbait people to watch her videos because she really has no content it’s repetitive. This is how it works she makes revenue up date video you click on the video then she gets paid then she makes another revenue update video every other day. That’s not content that’s sly behaviour. She’s selling several courses for $19 and $27 that have nothing substantial in them everything is already free on YT. I’m not bashing her but her moral compass is way off that’s why people are calling her out.

@LouRao

They call them kiosks. However, depending on the mall, its traffic, and location, a kiosk can be very expensive. Not all kiosks are equal in cost, even within the same mall. Locations with higher foot traffic typically come with a higher price tag. Additionally, having a kiosk often comes with more restrictions. The only time a kiosk pays for itself is if the products are trending and in high demand, which may provide an opportunity to expand into other areas of the mall or even outside locations. Many kiosks are either owned by individuals or franchised within the same mall. However, having a kiosk for homemade goods is usually a failure-it has been tested and consistently proven unsuccessful. Without the right trending products and enough capital, investing in a kiosk is not a smart move.
