My guest this week is Kristen Carrasco and her Etsy shop is Kikiverde Design Studio. Kristen makes and sells jewelry, inspirational art prints, and hand-crafted ribbon pine cone holiday ornaments & decorations…
In her own words, Kristen describes her Etsy shop as a “gift store”.
Kristen is a graphic designer and defines herself as a creator of crafty things… Love it! 🙂
She generously shares the story of how and why she ended up selling on Etsy and some of the important lessons she has learned all along the way.
Topics discussed:
- Setting inventory goals (think about holiday stock…)
- Etsy shop promotion and the importance and benefits of in-person networking
- Craft fair selection process
- Developing Etsy shop policies
- Bookkeeping and accounting solutions for Etsy sellers
- …and much more
