For Christine Hampton, starting an Etsy e-commerce business was incredibly challenging. She was selling bleached sport t-shirts, a product with much potential, but she couldn't get her t-shirts found for months.

Now, her neighbors are asking for custom t-shirt orders for their businesses, and some of them, including her husband, are helping out filling orders. The biggest thing is that she is just getting started!

In this episode, we'll explore Christine's story and learn how she achieved this impressive feat in such a short period of time with the help of small tweaks that made a huge difference and how you can also reach the same level of success with the help of Etsy Accelerator!

Christine is the founder of Sports Mom Shirt Shop. She is a mom of three (3) kids and married to her high school sweetheart living north of Atlanta. They love spending time at the ball field and eating yummy ice cream!

To kick off our June episodes, we'll be hearing another success story from one of our Etsy Accelerator members! Terra Maroun is the owner of Essential Blooms, creating and selling bath teas and other self-care products that would not only heal and nourish your body but are also safe, gentle, and powered by nature.

In 2019, Terra started experimenting with bath products for self-care. She made the jump in early 2021 and started her own Etsy business.

In the program, she learned how to utilize product photography for her shop, increase her branding efforts, and optimize her listings for search. As a result, Terra has grown her shop from $150 a month to her first $1k (and still growing), and she began expanding her reach to spas and local boutiques.
