Online Seller Experience, Small Business Success Stories
… How I understood what I need to make in order for my products to be sold. It’s simple, in search sites, I entered the name of the things that I thought to make, after, I checked the frequency of requests, if the number in the search is large, then this is my option. Next, I was designing, producing a couple of new things.
… I specialize in Baltic Amber. I m the creator and designer of my jewelry. My hobby is photography which plays a huge role in the social media side. As a business owner, you have a lot of responsibilities which include planning, finance management, dealing with sales, keeping an eye on the performance, and many more.
… Bughousedeco is specialized in the realization of beautifully finished entomology products. This ranges from frames with butterflies or insects to large glass cloches. Everything is manufactured in our own workshop, the insects are prepared by us, the wooden bowl under the glass bell jar is made in our own workshop.
… I make wedding and engagement rings as well as earrings, pendants, and bracelets mostly from gold, platinum, and precious gemstones. I also specialize in opals and raw diamonds that I developed a great passion for and incorporate them in many designs. The ‘manufacturing’ process changes from piece to piece as each design needs a different process.
… One of the biggest challenges in our business is to find out the sock’s pattern which our customers will like. It is very difficult to predict, whether customers will desire to have the socks, whether the set of colors will be the best. To overcome it and to increase the probability of success we always make a little survey and ask our friends and family for their opinions.
… I sell masks for every occasion, scrub hat and mask combinations, and am getting ready in the near future to offer other craft items and quilts. My masks stand out from the competition because they stay in place, are adjustable for every face, have always had nose pieces, filter pockets, and a filter which many masks still do not offer. I also have brand new BioSmart material available for masks which offers even more protection.
… BELOVED is a brand cherished in Latvia, which started as a hobby and a small dream about my own company. Each book is handmade and is not produced in huge editions. The idea for personalized books came about in 2018 – at the time came when a child was born to my best friend. I was invited to a baby shower, and I realized that I wanted a special present. At that time there were not a lot of options for baby books.
… My first sale on Etsy came in the duration of a month since starting out. I did not have a goal for how many sales I would like to make in the first year. The most important thing to me was to understand how the system worked and to get my products to appear on front pages for specific keywords and attributes. Because my products are seasonal, I don’t count sales/week.
… When it comes to customizing app icons, the key point is how the icons make you feel. That’s why I’m constantly searching for inspiration on Pinterest and sensing what design actually make my customer feel good. What makes my products stand out is lifetime access to all my design and future design. That’s an irresistible offer.
… Woodland is a huge theme this year! It really brings the outdoors, in 🙂 I offer a lot of woodland options so parents can browse and find the style that works for their taste. Dinosaurs are big too. The southwest,/boho vibe is really hot right now as well. So many great nursery trends to choose from 🙂 I try to spend time looking at what is trending in baby items so that I can stay on trend for my customers.
