Great article MaryMary. Super valid points. I will be sure to make my shop price points more diverse and be on the look out for more eco friendly products that allow me do this. I'll let you know how it goes!

These are wonderful ways to maximize shop marketability. I think many of the items in my shop are suitable for Valentines or spring, as they have a romantic/nostalgic, nature feel. I try recategorizing items and tweaking descriptions to represent different holidays or seasons, and changing my avatar to feature items from my shop for the season/holiday. Offering different price points or tiered discounts is also a great idea.

Thank you for

Totally! While many of my buyers love the bigger, pricier placemat and cloth napkin sets from my shop, one of the best hits I have are coaster sets and printed notebooks for around $10. People love these items as a little something extra on a bigger gift, or as a casual gift for a coworker or a housewarming present.

I love these

I love these articles! For my Valentine's lines, I've started offering some 'tiering' in my stationery offerings. Within a line, you can find a $6 set of notecards: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19609957 A mini notebook for $6: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19610391 Or a set that combines the two for $11: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19611449 I have a similar set up with a line of rose stationery that has bigger notebooks. My hope is that by having so much variety in what a customer can find within a line, they are able to find exactly the gift quantity and price point that will be perfect for whomever they are giving stationery to. It's pretty new, so I'm not sure yet how's it working. I'll report back! :) Good luck to all. Thanks again for the article.

I'm actually getting ready to change up my product line a little that will put it into different price points. This is a great resource for that, so thank you!

Appealing to a broader range of potential customers is excellent advice. Consider buying your favorite Etsy seller a gift certificate for custom Etsy shop graphic designs, such as http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17674155

I really love Neawears work! So delicate... Thanks for the ideas! I'm a handbag designer by trade but I do think I should try and introduce some smaller items to my shop so there is something for everyone. I do already concentrate on the different holidays and find that it brings more a little exposure and traffic if you have products that are relevant to what people are looking for at the time.

I think a range in price points is very wise advice. Especially in this kind of economy. I've been working on expanding my bags and purses line for the upcoming spring/summer season by adding small coin purses/wallets. I think this will help.

Great ideas,

Oh wow!! My pin necklace looks so nice up there! What an honor ;) Thank you Mary!! I have found indeed that "upgrading" or "downgrading" (price wazi, that's what I call it lol) items that work good in my shop always brings new sorts of buyers around! It ads variety and range to the shop, plus they are fun to do and think about ahead of time :) Like a puzzle or something ("How am I going to do this necklace similar but worth less money?" "How can I make this item even more unique so I can make it more worth money"). Because "upgrading" works too, even in hard economic times! You just have to be ready to be patient that the right buyer will come along eventually! :) Hope that helps!! :D Thanks again!!

I find that items $10 and under are great sellers. I started making headband, hat, and underwear sets for dolls, and they've been popular. So if you make clothing (for dolls or people) consider doing a line of accessories or supplementary items!
