Thanks so much guy's. It's incredible to see people wanting to help out their competition and put together such a great production. Your honesty and sincerity project right through the camera. If I was ever in your neck of the woods I would love to sit down in bar, have a beer and talk! Thank you

Thanks for the advice! Always great to hear from those that have been successful. Might just be the firefighter in me talking, but those noodle boards scare me :)

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thanks for taking the time to watch! I definitely don’t recommend using it on a hot stove 😆

[@jrdevelopment2020]

As a Firefighter myself I would have to agree!!!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

@@jrdevelopment2020 it’s pretty crazy! to me it’s obvious you wouldn’t do that but we have people who ask....we include “instructions” with each order

[@eatdrinkwineguy]

Thanks for all the tips. I think some great ideas even if not using Etsy. Cheers!

Really enjoy watching your videos! I have recently purchased an x carve myself as a hobby. Could you do a video of how you make your clocks? I would love to give it a go. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

We actually were planning on setting up a file to sell so you can make your own kit! Which I'd probably do a video on. Thanks for following along!

[@shannonmcdonald9254]

Thank you so much for all the tips! I was wondering how you go about showing the variety of items you have to offer? Like with the dog catch all trays, do you list all the designs you can carve or do you just list them as people ask for a new design? I have a group of images I would like to carve into coasters, but don't really know how to show my variety without carving each one. I am open to that, but would love some advice as to if that is worth it? Thank you!!!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

For the most part we list them as they sell. We'll post what we think will perform best and add from there. Most of them are per request then just take photos and list it when the item is finished. If the designs are similar you could list them under one listing.

[@juliebehnke8635]

AWSOME information, you two are so cute

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thanks 😘

[@davejsullivan]

Concerning free shipping. How do you guys compensate for that? Is it just included in the price?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

yes its included in the price. We find an average on the packages we've shipped in the past and set a flat rate that's baked into the price. if the package doesn't go very far we'll come out ahead. if the package goes completly across the united states we may lose a little. we typically come out ahead on the "free" shipping. Its just finding that average price slightly in your favor.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

If the customer returns an item we do not cover shipping it is their responsibility which is stated in our shop policies

[@robsandstrom9854]

Thank you for the advice - good insights from your experience. Any insights about setting the right price? I have heard that some people list their products at a loss to gain sales and this drives the overall price of the products down to the point it is hard to make a profit for smaller shops. Does this sound real? What other advice might you provide

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thanks 🙏🏼 😁

[@robsandstrom9854]

@@TwoMooseDesign wow your response was fast ... impressive. I did add a question about pricing while you were replying.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

@@robsandstrom9854 I definitely don't agree with selling items at a loss. definitely start out at market price. You should at least be priced even with everyone else. We typically sell over market value which i highly recommended going after the the higher budget customers if you have a solid product. If anything you could offer a cheaper product that easy to make to gain a few sales and reviews but never take a loss on an item in attempts to gain sales or reviews. Worst case scenario you take a loss and get a bad review.... We sold cheap mail boxes right away that sold pretty well. We didn't make very much on them at all but we definitely didn't lose money

[@luke-guitarist]

I have been on Etsy for at least one year and have only had 6 sales… it is ridiculous, I would love to sale an item of mine but nothing is working!

[@toddm9957]

Ive tried etsy and didn't get 1 sale from cutting boards and spoon rest wish i could send you some pictures for your opinions on them

[@TwoMooseDesign]

You need to offer things others don’t. A cookie cutter cutting board that everyone else sells probably won’t sell because reputable shops already offer them. You need to figure out a way to stand out from the pack. It’s a flooded market throwing one or two listings on Etsy isn’t going to cut it. If you can send local orders though Etsy to get a few sales and reviews that helps a ton

I have a software question about the onefinity... anyway I could bug you guys??

[@TwoMooseDesign]

It works with most software. It doesn’t come with software it has a post processor you upload code to. Easel and vectric are what I use

damn i maybe get a 100 views on my no wonder i dont get sales, 20k view i would be in heaven in a month

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Ohhh Yeah you definitely need a ton of traffic. I'd try out Pinterest or other social platforms, if that doesn't work try spending a few dollars a day for a month to see if you get a boost in sales.
