3. Learn how to sell Pictures on Etsy.
Test your Product first. For example, making some samples and posting them on Instagram and Pinterest. Ask your friends and followers some questions:
- Do you like the Pictures product I made?
- If you like it, do you want to buy it?
- If you are considering buying it, how much are you willing to pay for it?
- If you buy it, how long are you willing to wait?
- If you don't like it, why?
The answers would help optimize your Pictures products.
Next, set up an Etsy account to start selling on Etsy. The 2 must-dos are:
- Build a consistent and unique brand for your Pictures shop. Shop name, logo, brand colors, fonts, mission and vision, and packaging...... all need to be considered.
- List your Pictures items and make sure to optimize the listings. A good listing includes a thorough description, professional images, keywords related to your product, and the best category or subcategory for your Pictures products.
Attention, you should recognize the limitations of selling on Etsy. You can sell Pictures on other 18 sites like Etsy. Also, you should consider opening a Global Etsy Shop (read more on Etsy International Shipping: Road to a Global Etsy Shop).
4. Decide how to ship Pictures on Etsy.
Unlike on Amazon and Walmart, the shipping process on Etsy is entirely the responsibility of the sellers. It is essential for you to read Etsy's shipping policies and create shipping strategies. Here are two suggestions to win customers:
(1) Choose appropriate delivery dates and postage rates.
For your references. After entering the keyword "Pictures" on the Etsy keyword research tool, we can see the average shipping time of Pictures products is 9. In addition, some of the Pictures sellers attract customers by using Etsy free shipping.
You can go much further into this with How To Get Free Shipping On Etsy: All Aspects of Etsy Free Shipping.
(2) Provide a consistent, professional appearance to your Pictures packages.
You should think of a unique package for your Pictures products, and purchase all the materials needed in bulk. Here is a post on how to find packaging ideas - Etsy Jewelry Box: The Way to Impress your Customers.
