I plan on adding a ribbon and buttons to the finished product before shipping it (to Alabama!) tomorrow.
Overall, business has been a little slow, possibly because I only have three items and limited visibility compared to the hundreds of other crochet/knitting shops on Etsy. According to Etsy, another reason I might have few customers is because my shop only ships within the United States. My shop stats show that I have had viewers located in the Czech Republic and Sweden, so it may be a good idea for me to open up my shop to include international shipping (though it may be fairly expensive).
In the coming weeks, I want to expand my shop and selection to include more unique items. Once I get a new phone/camera I also want to retake some of the product pictures on my site. Because of this, I probably will not be working on my caravan for a while (partially because I'm still working on the best way to create/install mini-furniture into the caravan), but I hope to have it done by the end of the school year to have for my final presentation.

ReplyDeleteI like how you include photos of finished products and also of the processes. Your ability to crochet is incredibly impressive to me since I can't knit/crochet/make 3D things to save my life. Also super clever name ;) and I like that you've included information about the logistics of running an Etsy store. Great work! Keep it up! Good luck with your caravan and shop.
