  • There is a myth that you need to grow your following and do more marketing in order to make more sales. In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to make more money in your handmade business, without doing more marketing!
    Your profit is all the sales minus the costs of running your business. And I know from my experience working with small business owners and running a few of my own, it's really easy to get fixated on doing more and more marketing. I just need more customers. I just need a larger following and then I'll make more sales. But today I'm going to show you that that's not the only way to make more sales. You can actually work with what you already have in place and get a higher amount of profit for it. I know setting up another social media account or sending more emails, all that stuff can be exhausting. It's taking you away from your time creating, right?

    I really appreciate this video. I often think about this very topic! As an artist and designer I really want to be the sole creator of my products... And because of this I'm often doubtful of my business growth/being MORE profitable. A lot of information out there suggests outsourcing work but right now I really want to only one who creates my pieces... especially since each piece is one of a kind.

    • @CreativeHiveCo

      Courtney, you have to be comfortable with how you run your business, and if you want to retain creative control then you absolutely should! You could always outsource, shipping, social media, bookkeeping, etc. if you were looking to streamline. But I totally get the pull of making your own pieces - that is your voice!

    I'm on Etsy. I don't have a popular item because most of my items are one of a kind. I have bundle sets, I include a gift with each order, I have free shipping, most of my customers order 2 items per order, price increase is intimidating to me. I was not aware that Etsy an abandon cart email. Etsy do not allow for setting up emails with customers. Can you please look at my shop? Enjoyed your video because you gave these tips as if you really cared about the audience you're talking to.

    Hi may, im just starting a clothing business and i've seen u about the calculating for selling price is = cost x 2 x 2 = selling price. But im a little concern about cost it ( that a little too much especially in covid times), if i do cost x 3 = selling price. Its a good decision or shouldn't ? Plse reply me thank u may

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  3 роки тому

      I wouldn't advise it, no. The reason you do cost x 2 and then x 2 again is to compete with those in the retail arena. If your price is coming out higher than you usually charge then you are probably underpricing your work.
