The Handmade Shop

31. The Etsy pricing tactic that's hurting your shop


Listen Later

The episode today is going to be half rant and half advice because as we get into a really busy time of year, I've seen this advice popping up more and more often and I want to make sure that we address this right now.

It is never okay to price yourself so you're not making a profit.  This advice actually makes me angry.  The premise was this, when you're just starting off it's okay to price low and make no profit so you can get your first couple of sales. The idea is that you have a low price to stand out against your competition who has reviews and stuff like that to back them up.

But I hate this so much. You can stand out above your competition on Etsy in other ways. You can get sales from Etsy traffic and from your social media traffic without competing on price.  Listen to the episode to learn more.


If you want to learn more about my pricing strategy, I invite you to join me in my free masterclass at dailyetsysales.com
