This last year it felt like the holiday season was especially busy and then, immediately following New Years, I came down with a cold that knocked me out for a couple of weeks. The kind of sick that puts you in a brain fog and anything that requires thinking is pretty much out of the question. I haven’t been sick like that in a long time and I hope it’s a very long time before I’m sick like that again.
On to better things though. The Etsy shop has been a fantastic learning experience and I’m making some changes there. There are costs associated with listing and selling items on Etsy so originally I was bundling up my coloring pages so I could set a higher price tag. Unfortunately, while many bundles were getting tons of views and favorites they weren’t getting a lot of sales. I decided instead to break apart all of the bundles and just sell single pages now. That way people can put together the bundles they want or just buy a single page if that’s what they’d like to do. I’ve already seen an improvement in sales with that decision so it was definitely a good change. I’ve also lowered the prices on some items and I plan to offer some discount coupons in the near future for customers buying multiple items.
I hope everyone is enjoying their new year and got off to a much better start than I did.
I’m sorry to hear your year got off to a bumpy start! I hope it’s all clear sailing from here.
I hope so too. I’m feeling myself again and the ball is rolling so it’s all good. 😀
