Getting ready for Valentines Day Frenzy

 Check this out.  I’m excited for my new and latest crochet items that I already listed on Etsy.  

Personalized Crochet Coffee Cozy

You can personalized this cozy with your very own image.

The idea just came out of nowhere! 

I thought it was funny.  What do you think?

So I’m offering this cozy with a personalized photo and I thought it would make a perfect gift during the valentine’s day.  

How is this even possible?  You ask.  Yes, Yes,   

So this Christmas I was trying to figure out how to stand out from the rest.  And I wanted to add the Grinch to my Crochet Cup Sleeve or maybe even Santa.  

So I tested to see if I could press a dark transfer paper on my cozies.

It worked.  But Christmas is only a couple of days away.  So I figured this experiment is perfect for St. Patricks Day and maybe even Valentine’s Day. 

Make sure to follow this blog for updates.

I’m gonna have to roll up my sleeves and work on this listing to make it stands out.

2024 Total Etsy Sales

 In the beginning of this year, I decided to open up another Etsy shop.  And this time my focus was to sell digital goods.  I decided on digital goods because I am just too unorganized to pack and ship actual items.  And I have had successful Etsy shop in the past selling actual physical products, crochet items.  But my shop ended up getting shut down by Etsy.  And I am to blame for my Etsy shop getting shut down.  

But being a graphic artist for the past 20 years or more.  I figured I could give Etsy another try and this time to sell digital goods because it would mean less work for me.  Meaning I will never have to restock, ship an item.  

So after binging on lots of Youtube videos, I learned a few tricks on selling digital goods and how to optimized my listings.  And I must say, not bad for the year.  Here is what I made this year on Etsy, selling digital goods.

Yes, I made over 1,985 orders and sold 2,106 Sales with 209 Active listings.  And I have a few listings that are and made the Etsy Best Seller Items.

But I did started to list crochet items beginning October and ramped up my crochet listing in December.  I continue to fine tune my crochet mug cozy listings and they did and continue to do well.  I received over 150 orders for my crochet mug cozies during the holiday season and the busiest was the 2nd week of December.  

I would like to thank all who supported and decided to include handmade gifts this season. Let me know if you chose handmade this season or if you sold your handmade craft and how well did they do.

Until next time, Happy crocheting!!!
