Favorites 💙If someone favorites your product, they have probably favorited other very similar items and designs. If their favorites are visible to other users, this will allow you to see the products yours is competing with and the shops selling them. If you have a strong niche there will be consistency across your customers saved collections. Similarly if someone purchases from you it’s always worth it to see if there are other types of products they seem interested in based on their favorites that you could print your designs on.
Thanks for the reminder on research. I start all my sessions with it, but I need to be more systematic about how I do it. I am curious how much you would look into last year's trends for seasonal niches compared to adapting new trends that may have emerged? Though honestly it seems like the trends have been fairly consistent with retro, wavy text, etc for quite a while.
Great video, Mandy! I have a quick question..If I am opening a brand new POD apparel store on Etsy this month, should i focus on only 1 niche and 1 product type (t-shirts) OR Should I focus on multiple niche (10+) and multiple product types within the same category (like sweatshirts, hoodies, tank tops, t-shirts, hats)?
Mandy has a free masterclass right here on RU-vid and I can tell you I would not have survived my first months in Etsy without her!! She also has a community that is top notch where she provides us with sooo much info and niche reports & challenges and the list goes on….and she is there to answer questions. The community members are also often knowledgeable and helpful. If you can join DO IT… you will not be disappointed.
