    This is on my to do list. I didn't know about the different types of emails. Very informative! (Like everything I've watched.) I was glad to hear you validate the reasons I'm switching to Shopify. I have kept mentally prepared for some awful error with Etsy but it would have been so stressful rushing through the process I'm in now. I'm so glad I took the leap! ❤️

      That's awesome! You won't regret having your website with Shopify - I love them so much. You can still definitely keep your Etsy shop, too, but it's so smart to have your own site just in case.

    I agree, my email list is way better at reaching and getting sales than my social media posts. I look forward to your vid on automations as I have recently started using them and already seeing people respond to them!
    Also, I love the sound effects! Super funny 😆 and well timed.

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  5 років тому

      Yay! Yeah automations are so cool but underutilized! What kinds of automations do you have?
      And thanks about the sound effects! I've let me video editor know. She deserves all the credit! 😊

      @@CreativeHiveCo I have been using mailchimp but have barely started. I think its possible with mailchimp's free account to make a basic sales funnel...with a series of emails to send sequentially after someone is subscribed. Right now I just have a welcome email (and abandoned cart email) but it already has helped reconnect instead of dead space till I send new stuff. I also have an RSS feed notifier for when I make a new blog post but when I test click the link it doesn't open on my mac so I think it needs work.

    You mentioned Klaviyo as a good email marketing app. In reading some of the reviews it does not seem to be a program for a small biz that has no experience with these apps. For instance, they talked about how it integrates with Magento, and some of the metric terminology is fairly advanced-- ex: " variations percentage opens"

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  4 роки тому

      Kaviyo can be a bit technical, it’s not something most people will choose to go with in the beginning. Mailer Lite and Mail Chimp are also great starter options.

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  5 років тому +3

      Hi Amy! I recommend MailerLite for a Mailchimp alternative. They can connect with Shopify. If you're more of an email power user and want more features, I recommen Klaviyo! It's free only up to 250 subs and it's a bit more expensive, but worth it if you know what you're doing with it!

    I am slowly switching from etsy to my Wix site. Is shopify similar to Wix or is it much better/different?

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  4 роки тому

      I'm going to default to Shopify every time, Jolandi. Shopify gives you so much flexibility and control in setting up your shop, you can do it quickly (www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-build-your-own-website-with-shopify-in-under-1-hour/), the overall site speed is better, you have access to 24/7 tech support, and so much more.

      Congrats on your success!! Email marketing is truly so powerful when done right :) My next video coming out on Monday will talk more about how to gain more subscribers. It sounds like you're on Etsy. Do you have your own site that you send traffic to? My upcoming video might give you some ideas for what to do.

    Thanks for yet another great video! What do you think about Suqarespace in comparison to Shopify? I am choosing these two to upload my product images for my Instagram audiences. Many thanks Mie!

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  4 роки тому +1

      I don't see much benefit to using Squarespace over Shopify. At similar payment levels, you can do almost exactly the same things as on the $29/mo Shopify plan. The benefit to Shopify is a massive app marketplace to integrate anything you want, many of those apps can help boost your marketing and sales. For example for Tiny Hands, my jewelry biz, almost 50% of my sales/income comes from my subscription product, the Necklace of the Month Club. I couldn't even do something like that on Square's site builder.
