Is it too late to be successful selling wreaths on Etsy?

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

join my wreath making VIP group! 👉🏼 www.jennyswreathboutique.com/vipgroup

[@lindabarthold1269]

I am a "silent" member of the VIP group and I have learned so much from Jenny. I don't plan on opening an Etsy shop but it is still a great subscription to learn so many new things, even if it's just a hobby. The small monthly membership is nothing compared to the over spending many of us make! Thanks Jenny, I love the group!

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Thanks for sharing that! When I’m in groups I’m also one of the silent ones. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!

[@elisaj55]

Great job Jenny & Tracy! If I wasn’t already in the VIP group I’d say I’d want to join just from this. I’m fairly new at wreath making (March 2024) & there’s just soo many gems in that group! I don’t have an Etsy shop (yet) & wanted to just be a better wreath maker with occasional sales here and there. I’ve actually sold 9! Thanks to Jenny and this group!

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Hello! Aww thanks! And I love that you’re making sales to support the hobby!

[@elisaj55]

@@JennysWreathBoutique oh btw, just like Tracy, I was sold on the “tulip trash!”😁

[@suzieqgifts]

Tracy, Congratulations on your success and I wish you all the best on your journey. Jenny really is an amazing designer and person. If anyone interested in learning how to makes wreaths I strongly suggest joining Jenny's VIP group.

Love this! I did join this past week and I'm so excited to learn and become a better wreath maker. Congratulations Traci on your growing success! Seeing the excitement is inspirational!

Yay so glad to have you in the group! I hope you’re enjoying it so far ♥️

Just joined the VIP group! Looking forward to learning from everyone!

Yay!! So glad you joined! Excited to work with you ♥️

[@ivillasenor2829]

So glad for this! I just started this month…

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Awesome!

[@IRIS-fi3si]

❤❤❤❤this video. Thx Jenny and Traci. This is very encouraging. To those that just joined the VIP; it’s the best investment ever.

[@peekaboowreaths]

I love this video because i have wondered the same many many times. Excited to learn.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TC-wx3ln]

I’m from the UK and really want to start selling my wreaths Moore than just locally (which I currently do). The cost of boxes is stopping me as I find them to be so expensive for the size of my wreaths. Do you have any tips or ideas on where I should be looking and how much I should expect to pay per box. ALL of your work is amazing by the way.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Aww thanks! I don’t know of a box supplier in the UK, but try checking Amazon.

[@Amora986]

Thank you for sharing, your wreaths are always inspiring and beautiful 🥰

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Thanks for watching!

[@cindihollerbach1049]

Do you have any wreath making videos for a 4 inch grapevine wreath?

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

I have some videos with 6” grapevines, but not 4”

[@lindseypulchny2581]

I am so sad I found you on September 6th 😢😂 I’m on the waitlist though!

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Oh no! Well, I’m glad you got on the waitlist!

[@lindamills9248]

This was an awesome interview!! She's done amazing & she's so precious ( like you) do you have to join Instagram? Or will VIP group explain all that? Ty😊

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Yes she’s great! Thanks for watching! No, you don’t need any social media to join the group. Everything, including the private community, is on my website. ♥️

[@marymccarthy5464]

Hi, Jenny, I enjoyed watching your interview with Traci. I do have an Etsy shop but I mainly sew. I watch your videos and have made several wreaths for my family over the past few years. What is the name of Tracis Etsy shop? I just want to browse. Thank you.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Thanks so much! I’m not giving out the name of her shop for privacy purposes. Since most of the viewers of my KZbin channel also make wreaths I didn’t want people to go and copy her. I hope you understand ♥️

[@donnagribbins1763]

I would love to see Traci's Wreaths. What is her shop name?

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

For her privacy I’m not sharing her shop name here on KZbin. Since most of my viewers are other wreath makers.

[@carolynwojcik8518]

My fear about doing an Etsy shop is the shipping, taxes and the fees Etsy charges.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

That’s a common fear. I actually have a whole mini course inside the group all about shipping. That should answer all of your questions. It’s actually really simple once you do it, but I remember I was SO nervous to ship my first wreath. And Etsy fees are lower than any other platform. And you’re only charged the fee after you make a sale. But yes, these are hurdles that you’ll need to go over, but once you do you’ll be so glad you did!

[@IRIS-fi3si]

Same here. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@michigangirl3089]

Someone mentioned their Etsy fear. Although I don't worry about that, I worry about the cost supplies in the beginning, if we don't have a way to purchase them wholesale. I'm a newborn nanny and sleep consultant with my own business. I love what I do, but am looking for a side hobby to bring in a bit of extra money. If I love it and end up being a great wreath maker I may get another business, but for now it's not something I want to do in the beginning. For those in the VIP or if you're just starting out, where are you purchasing florals? Can you make any money with the costs not being wholesale?

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

I actually have a stock your shop workshop for almost every season that addresses this very things. I’ll be doing my Christmas Stock Your Shop Workshop next month. But I grew my shop from $70 in supplies to a full time income before I ever started buying wholesale. In the workshop I teach a very efficient and intentional way of starting with very little supplies and slowing growing your inventory as you make sales. I don’t think you need to have a lot of start up costs, and I actually think it’s better to start small and not buy much to begin with. That’s exactly what I did.

[@daniiiakasha4711]

Too late for what reason?

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

A lot of people think Etsy is too saturated to start selling there now. However, I disagree. We addressed that in the interview ♥️
