… One of the most important processes in Odywood’s quality standards is the logistics process. Wooden products go through many stages and various checks before shipping.

… We are proud to say that disputes and bad feedback have been exceedingly rare for us. Have a look at our Reviews! When they have happened on occasion, we try our very best to work things out (this generally means a refund if the customer is not happy with the item).

… Selling on Etsy changed my lifestyle so much. I spend half the day in front of the computer now. I have a very clear idea about selling online. I have not gotten very far in my vintage shop, but truly love it and want to go on. I take a few steps at a time and am grateful. I work as hard as I can. I try to meet deadlines and keep customers happy.

… Selling on Etsy has drastically changed our lives. We have never worked so hard and been so emotionally invested in what we do. Despite all of the stress and anxiety, we have also never felt so proud and encouraged. Our kids see us building a business from the ground up, and are learning what it takes to be a successful business owner right along with us.

… Being an entrepreneur is a big chance to spread the word about our business to as many people as possible, all around the world. For us, it is a very exciting journey! The hardest thing is to find a balance between business and family.

… We only ship in North America for the moment. We include the price of shipping in the final price. Shipping is obviously our biggest cost that’s why we always try to make our product flat pack because we believe that it makes sense to be able to move wherever with a Knot product without having it take too much space. It helps us and it helps the clients when they move when they want to change their place in their house.

… Yes, it is nerve-racking as you worry about turnover. It is a competitive market. You have to be constantly thinking of new products and innovations. And keeping an eye on competitors and pricing models. Costs of raw materials fluctuate, and when working with tight margins, this can make the difference between profit or loss.

… We are very active on Pinterest and Facebook. It’s a great way to reach customers, share ideas, and promote your products. Social networks are today a very powerful tool in any business.
