Do you find that your products just sit in your Etsy store and you don't get many sales? This week on Thriving Women Artists, Ping, Sarah, and Dorien are giving you their top tips for becoming better at selling your art. Find out what you'll need to start selling, how you can build and improve relationships, Pings 20/80 rule, the importance of marketing yourself, and setting your sales goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being successful when it comes to selling depends on what your goals are. Some people might want to sell 50 things a week and some might only need to sell 3 or 4.
- You can only get to your goal if you put in the time and effort. You only get out what you put in.
- Ping doesn't give herself a plan B, plan A is the only one and she will make it work.
- If you want to sell things from your Etsy store, then you should actively be marketing it and promoting your products, not just waiting for sales.
- Remember that you will need the space and time to run your online selling business.
- The price you can sell to shops varies depending on their own costs.
- A good rule of thumb when it comes to selling is that 20% of your products get you 80% of your revenue. And 20% of your customers give you 80% of your sales.
- Make sure your website is as customer friendly as possible. They should be able to find what they're looking for in as few clicks as possible. If you have a bad website experience, you will lose business.
- Personal connections are so important when selling. People invest in us as people first, before they invest in our products. Remember people's names, be personable, do the little things that will improve relationships.
- You can start small but if you want to grow you will need to invest.
