I launched my Etsy site on July 2, 2012. I still felt like I was setting things up and have done next to no advertising for it....I haven't even posted it to Facebook for friends and family to see! Part of this is because I have had a busy summer and between work, vacation, and enjoying time with family, I have not really been home. So I watched my shop, tweaked listings, and waited.
Last weekend while I was in Missouri to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday party I checked my Etsy stats (yes, the app is on my phone!) and I saw 1 sale. I could hardly believe it!! I was so excited I told my husband, dad (who was sitting next to me), and texted my sister. It was an invigorating experience. That night another sale popped up...I am on a role!
What makes this so exciting for me is that 2 people across the country saw my items out of all the others on Etsy and decided to buy them. It is affirming in a way, that people are looking for unique toys for their children, and that it is possible to get found on Etsy.
So now with 3 whole sales under my belt, I am pushing forward to see what else I can offer the world! Thank you so much to my very first customers!!
