034: 10 Ways to Add More Items to Your Shop without Breaking the Bank

August 21, 2014 by Beth Anne Schwamberger 6 Comments

10 Ways to Add More Items to Your Shop Without Breaking the Bank #etsy #sellerhelp

You've opened your etsy shop (woohoo!).  Sales are beginning to trickle in at a steady pace, and you're getting great feedback from your customers.  Things are going well.

Why should you spend your precious time and resources on creating new listings?  What you have is working.  Why complicate things?

There are a few reasons why you should complicate things. 

  1. Creating new listings doesn't have to  be all that complicated
  2. Every new listing is one more opportunity for your ideal customer to find you
  3. Every new listing is a chance to optimize for a different keyword phrase
  4. New listings are a chance to utilize different photographs, and treasury-makers love variety in photos.
  5. A full, yet organized shop signals to buyers that you are a serious seller.
  6. It's a chance to use up supplies or products that were taking up space.
  7. You can expand your market to potentially include more age groups or a new demographic (think adding kids versus baby clothes or adding small purses for single ladies versus diaper bags for moms.)
  8. You can improve customer service by offering gift-wrapping or expedited shipping.
  9. Add customization to set yourself apart as a Purple Cow
  10. Etsy has a magic number.  No jokes.  You'll have to tune in to hear what I'm talking about.

Examples of Etsy Shop Owners and How They Create New Listings

Keri of IzyandOly uses different cover photos to create both adorable, fun looks that feature her kids, and more editorial-looking place settings.

Dana of AppleWhite Handmade offers 3 different gift-wrapping options and express shipping.

Julie of TokyoBlossom offers her adorable crochet earrings in many different colors.

Mikela of RoShamBoCo uses her handmade lettering talent and painting supplies to create both garden markers and art prints.

Kim of TrashyCrafter offers custom book jewelry made with paper beads based on your favorite book or sheet music.

Sarah and I (TheAmateurNaturalist) sell boxes of damaged butterfly specimens at a discount to move less-than-perfect inventory and help out crafters with affordable supplies.

There are a TON of great examples of Etsy sellers just killing it when it comes to adding new listings while remaining financially sound in their business.

P.S. What do you think?  Is this list eye-catching or just crazy?  I couldn't decide 😉
