Getting an edge on etsy.

[sklorton]

I'm planning to start selling on Etsy in the next few months in the handmade clay/pottery niche, is there anything I can do to get a leg up on the competition?

There is a guy in the marketplace who can rank your product in the top search results, forgot what his name is. He offers a free trial if I remember correctly, you should try it.

Reviews do help in ranking your store for more business/searches. It also encourage to make use of coupon to drive/convert your store leads quick and easy.

Coupons are a great idea to help drive those early sales, even if you don't make full profit just having those sales/revies will make up for it in the long run.

Hi, here are some very solid points to make sure you start getting sales.

Good niche by the way, follow what I say below and I guarantee you will start to make sales:

1 Move inventory count to 100 over around 100 days (roughly 1 item per day)

2 Make sure ALL stock depth on all items is over 50

3 Make sure you have most of your products in the $20 to $40 price range

4 Make sure you use product video of each actual product you sell (not a brandsplainer)

5 Get your SEO serviceable, just use all your product title space to describe the item you are selling with relevant keywords, and fill your tags with more relevant BUT DIFFERENT keywords

6 OFFER PERSONALIZATION. Heed this and you will make way more sales than if you don't offer it

7 Quality photography. I cannot stress this enough, your photos need to be clear, bright, sharp and have a good contrasting background to highlight the product

8 Don't ever run out of stock of anything period. Make sure you plan ahead, and keep all your items in stock, if necessary extend processing times on orders to keep things moving, i'll say it again don't go out of stock on anything.

Do that lot above and you will make sales (as long as people want to buy your stuff).

Cheers

Wow, This is great! This single post is more valuable than pretty much anything I have read online!

I'm going to be making the products that I sell so it will be more difficult to do certain things than if I were doing dropshipping or something similar. I'm sure I can make products that people will want to buy, but keeping that speed of production may be difficult. However, if I focus on smaller items I can make them faster and cheaper keeping them in that $20 to $40 range.

Personalization would be very hard to do due to the time it takes from the start of production to the end, especially if there are a lot of other products being produced at the same time, not to say that it's impossible but I would have to gear my production pretty heavily towards that to make it happen. Quality photos and videos will be no problem as it's something I have experience in, and I will definitely follow your advice on SEO!

Thank you so much for sharing this post is incredibly helpful!

No problem at all, I wish you good luck with your new store, and if you need any help, just ask.

Hiya,

Could you elaborate a bit more on your point about personalisation please? Is it something that Etsy likes or something that customers like? And is it a case of the more/bigger personalisation the better?
