I had my first sale yesterday. As I am reading the previous posts I think we may be up to C- , but don't change the name.

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

Margie, voted for your pumpkins.  Hope it's not too late.  I would have voted for them even if you didn't mention it.  They are so cute!

Get this... I was convoing with mycrochetgarden and she suggested that on my items that are aqua, that I list them as Tiffany Blue. She said a lot of people search for that color.  I thought about it and thought she might be right so I changed a few of the titles and descriptions... and BAM!  I sold 3 items not less than a few hours after that.  Not all were Tiffany Blue, but I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. 

HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE!

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

That is so wild that just a color description can change so much.  But I believe it, I am guilty of doing the same type searches... gotta love Tiffany blue! Sandy that is fantastic!  Hmmm.... to come up with something clever in my color descriptions.... I prefer cash green.  LOL!

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

According to this site, the description "Tiffany Blue" is trademarked.

So...who wants to start a controversial thread on the Etsy forum?

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

OMG OMG OMG

I just sold my black cat hat and it will be part of a halloween display in a Berkeley shop.  The store owner was interested in a bunch of my other things as well.  They also have a branch in San Francisco (where it is always cold and foggy) so she wanted my scarves as well.  An outright sale not consignment.  woohoo.

I meet with her on Fri a.m to discuss details.

Finally

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

Christi, that's AWESOME!!  Hopefully the display will get you lots of traffic and sales.  So exciting!

And I just saw that you're in El Cerrito.  Have you been to Zachary's pizza in Albany?  OMG, so yummy!  You should go there and celebrate.

wow, good for you Christi!!  I hope it all turns out really well and get many more sales!

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

Nicole,

Ironically the shop I sold to is on the very street that Zachary's pizza is on.  Maybe I'll have lunch there after my meeting.

Thanks everyone for the support.  I think this board kept me sane through the no sales so that I could walk into that shop with my head high.

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

OMG Cristl! Heck yes! I'm so happy for you!

And yay Rachel!!! WOO HOO!

Congrats you two!!!

I sold a towel set to my mother in law, she insisted that she pay full price and who am I to argue, she wants a whole bunch of sets that are all holiday themed thanksgiving, christmas, valentines, 4th of july etc. I sent her the halloween ones today, will be working on the thanksgiving ones soon and then will start on christmas. I'm really excited! Beyond that she's been spreading my shop around to other family and friends!!

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

Doing the happy dance again. I decided to take a break from my work, went to e-mail and there it was a sale and already paid for.  Be still my heart, this is the best.  I'm telling you before long we will all be known as the A-list.

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

I get so excited when I read that people are having sales. It really is a great thing to know that things are changing for everyone! Granted we may not be doing 10+ sales a week but sales are sales and we have to start somewhere!

This is fantastic that people are finally having some success.  Just waiting on my turn.  Good things come to those who wait, right?

Congrats everyone!

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

Yay everyone!!  Christy, that's awesome about your mother-in-law.  Maybe you could put a listing on your site for a set of holiday towels and put one in for each of the major holidays (halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, easter, valentines day, 4th of July) or an all seasons pack (1 for spring, summer, fall, and winter).

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

I've made a few sales already and the common thread seems to be my Breast Cancer Awareness sale (25% off everything pink in my shop).  I added "ON SALE" to the title and tagged them with "pink," "breast cancer," and "october" - I've also noticed that most of my views are on my pink items.  Who knows how this will change in November, but so far it's brought me luck.

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

So I met with a shopowner in Berkeley today.  She is taking 11 of my things.  (granted at somewhat reduced prices)  It totally wipes me out.  I had to put my shop on vacation so I can start cranking things out again.  Is there such thing as too much of a good thing.  So until further notice I am knitting knitting knitting.  I will be checking the board though.

Congrats everyone on their sales!!

Re: Tell us about your success, sales, requests!

Christl - that is so awesome! Congrats to you for your sales!

Congrats to everyone else as well.

I don't expect I will be making very many sales in the near future. I am keeping everything I am making for 2 upcoming craft shows.
