Hey Heather I have had my shop open for over 2 months now. I have only had 2 sales on my shop. One was a friend and the other myself. Lol. I have watched so many videos and done so much research to increase my traffic. I’ve reached out to so many KZbinrs for help. I’m not sure why my shop is not growing.

I opened our store late January 2023 and only have 17 sales. I have tried sales a bit but have been planning a routine sales strategy so when your video from a year ago popped up in my feed today the timing was perfect! You covered the major questions I had about how to execute the sales strategy so I’m now feeling optimistic that this strategy will work. Thank you!

I ran a 50% "end of summer" sale for the whole month of August and didn't get a single sale😭, even though my products are less than 2 dollars when on sale. I guess it still depends on your marketing and how competitive the niche is...

Hello! I am so glad I stumbled on to your channel. Everything you said just made so much sense, makes me feel silly. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Honestly, I was researching how to just sell out my inventory and hanging it up. BUT I absolutely hate to admit defeat, all that does is give the people that do not have faith in me a good laugh at my expense. As my late Dad used to say " I be damned if that's so!" Thank You again. Now I am off to figure out how to run a sale!

Thank you for sharing, but yes etsy has completely changed in less than 6 months time. The competition is going to kill us because we cannot compete with people selling for a few dollars. It gets to the point when you have to ask yourself am I on etsy or on a flea market site. Etsy is still my fav but I started a wedpage because we have more control over our prices

@meganlowe64582 жыл бұрын
It's actually illegal to raise your prices and then put them on sale so I wouldn't publicly announce that you're doing this. This is info from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission): "The FTC considers it deceptive to offer an item for sale at a higher price for a short period of time in order to support a claim that an item is discounted when the price is then lowered. This practice is prohibited." It's also illegal to have the same items on sale every single day.

If you're gonna run sales as part of your sales strategy you build the cost into your product. First, however, you need to figure out where your sale sweet spot is. Then permanently adjust your prices by that amount so when you run your sale your profit margin is where you want it.

Question... I just downloaded the planner to keep me motivated!! Do you recommend having a different store for every Niche? Or do you suggest having all of your designs in one store under different categories (niches)? I have identified 3 different niches and have all of my designs in one store at this point. Also, I appreciate your information so much!!! I just purchased the Blueprint and looking forward to digging in!!

That's exactly what i was going to ask. When is the price increase by 15% applied ? Just before the sale or when the product is created ? I'm thinking customers would catch on to just raising the price the same percentage of the sale just before the sale hits.
