Update: This year’s boot camp has started! Make sure you are signed up for the Etsy Success newsletter to receive weekly instructions. You can also read all the blog posts in our Holiday Boot Camp series.
Remember last year’s Etsy Success Holiday Boot Camp, where Etsy sellers received weekly tips, to-do lists and encouragement through a series of blog posts, newsletters and forum threads (and a monster for a mascot)? This year’s Holiday Boot Camp programming is almost ready, and I want to make sure you’ve marked your calendars. In addition to last year’s festivities, I’ve lined up worksheets, Online Labs, a success-focused advent calendar and tips from expert small business drill instructors. All this will help us get ready for the best holiday season on Etsy, ever!
Here’s your prep list for this year’s boot camp:
Sign up for the Etsy Success Newsletter. Boot Camp newsletters with full instructions for the upcoming week will go out every Thursday afternoon, starting September 22, 2011. (However, I’ll send you a few things to do before boot camp gets serious!)
Start to think about what kind of time and resources you want to invest in this year’s holiday rush.
Clear some time in your schedule — preferably the same time every week — to finish up your Boot Camp tasks.
Make sure you have Adobe Reader so you can open and print our weekly downloads.
Join the Etsy Success Team. We’ll be discussing the weekly tasks and supporting each other through the exercises.

Redolynnce says:
Getting ready as well. During the year I have tried to sell candle tarts but they only seem to sell mostly during the holidays. So will be adding a variety of those. As well as trying to figure out gift package options. Something as far as Aromatherapy gift packs. I haven't tried that before. Hopefully that will work. Maybe getting Christmas tissue paper and start wrapping everything in those colors adding ribbon, etc. Maybe even the envelope should have a Christmas stamp on it to make it more festive. As some buyers like you to send their items to the person they are gifting to help save them on shipping costs. Just some thoughts.
