Etsy Tuition

I'm going to be running one to one tuition throughout March for those interested in looking to grow their business and increase their sales but are looking to get more direct advice or are unable to attend the weekend workshops. This 2 hour session will be tailored specially for your shop and will look in depths at the changes or improvements that can be made based on the items you are selling and how they are presented in your shop. This session can be for anyone at any stage in their shop, from setting up an Etsy shop to sales of 1,000 plus and all the stages in between. I have wealth of Etsy and business knowledge that I'd love to share with you.

The session will cover the following:

• Pricing & Shipping
• Packaging
• Photography
• Branding & marketing
• Social Media
• Tags & Descriptions
• Expanding product range
• Using the Etsy trends & stats
• SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
• Other selling channels
• Aims & Targets

We'll look at common mistakes to avoid and tips from getting the best from your shop. After the workshop you will receive a follow up to see how you are progressing. I'll also set a few pieces of 'homework' to keep you on track & motivated after the session.

I have a lot of experience with Etsy, my shop has been running for 3 years with over 2,500 sales, for the last two years I have earnt a full time salary from my business. I was appointed Team Captain for the Oxford Esty Team which including taking part in the Etsy Educators program run by Etsy UK.

To book a session you can arrange a suitable date and time. I'm flexible with time as I work from home and am happy to do this any day of the week and also in the evenings if that is easier. I'm based in Abingdon, it would be best to do the session face to face but I am happy do run the session via phone or video call if that is more convenient.

You can pay on this link via Paypal £50 for the session:

Oxford Etsy's First Pop Up Shop

I was appointed Oxford Etsy team Captain back in June in prepation for the Etsy Made Local event which was happening across the country. There was a lot of interest and the team grew really quickly - we currently have over 200 members in the group! After realising there were so many sellers, we wanted to start giving people (as well as our selves) more opportunities to sell.

We set up our first Oxford Etsy pop up shop over Christmas from November - December. It was a great success, we had thousands of people visit in the 6 weeks we were open. There was an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from all the customers that stopped by and it proved to be every successful for all of the sellers. I'd always wanted to try running a shop selling my jewellery so for me it was another dream come true moment (in fact for the three of us that worked on putting the shop together in was quite an emotional moment when the shop was officially opened by the Abingdon Town Crier)

In total we had 50 different sellers over the 6 weeks. This was a great opportunity for the local sellers to show their work to the public (and show how talented Oxfordshire is!)

It was lovely to hear that people had travelled to Abingdon specifically to see our shop and for some this was their first time visiting Abingdon. We were really keen to come back after Christmas with an even bigger shop that had separate rooms for us to run craft workshops and courses but unfortunately there were a number of hurdles we couldn't get past - alas it was not be...

However, I do like to keep busy and so I'm currently working on the next project - we are hoping to run a monthly spring/summer market in Oxford from May to September so keep an eye out on social media for the details on this when we have them.
