Oh my! Daniel, you are so "Refreshing" from all the other videos I have watched. Such Beneficial information and will be implementing them as I do new listings and the ones I renew. Thank You so very much for sharing your knowledge. You have a New Fan!
That’s great to hear, thanks so much for your very kind words 😁
I’m loving your channel because all of your content is so fresh, new, and updated for 2024! I opened my Etsy store a month ago but still only have my fake listing up (a stupid-expensive, plain white mug, because I definitely don’t want any orders on that, lol). I find I’m still at that stage mostly because I’ve watched hundreds of POD/Etsy videos over the past 6 months, which have turned out to be wildly outdated.
This is likely because your channel seems to be pretty new, which is exactly where I’m at in terms of my POD/Etsy journey. And, I’m just guessing that your channel is really new, because you don’t yet have the subscribers that would reflect the amazing quality of your content.
With that said, I really appreciate you and your channel, so thank you! I feel like I’ve found my ‘Goldilocks’ POD/Etsy YT source- not too big, and not too small… but just right for my needs! I’ve just subscribed. And even though I hope your channel grows as big as you want it to be, I feel like I will be growing right along with you!😊🙏
Thank you so much for your very kind words, I really appreciate it!!
And it is so exciting to hear about your new Etsy venture - I've got my fingers crossed for you and your journey!! Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, hopefully I can help!
@@EtsyDaniel Thanks, Daniel! These days I feel like I’m filled with more questions than answers, so I’ll definitely keep that in mind.😉😂
This was extremely helpful. I've been putting all that info in my descriptions and the about me section, but not at all in the photos. Currently I have mockups and sizing, but not the rest. Can't wait to try this out.
Love to hear that! Wishing you lots of success with this 😁
Thank you for all your videos. Please keep going, I believe you are the best channel for etsy sellers on you tube and you will become a top one too
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your feedback and kind words 😊
Thank you for always being upbeat, positive and easy to follow. Great content!
Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it!!!
Amazing Content. Keep It Up! Cheers!
Thanks a lot for watching!!
This is so generous of you! I am so happy that I found you. I had never seen the photo cards content. And you explain it so good and in such an engaging way. Thank you so much! You have a new subscriber and will recommend you everywhere!
That is so nice to hear!! Thanks for your kind words :D
Really great - thank you for telling us details and live examples - super helpful. I will definitely apply a few of your techniques :D
That’s great to hear! 😊
Ooh these are great ideas! I knew about the size guide and color guide cards, the rest are brand new for me. Thanks!
I’m glad you liked it 😁
So informative and helpful, thank you so much for your video, feeling pretty inspired, will try these tips ASAP🙏🙏🙏
That's amazing to hear!! You've got this 😀
Wow, thank you very much for your video, it really is great, you explain it super well and everything makes sense to me, I always try to improve my store and you have given me super good ideas, Thanks again 😊 Greetings from Brooklyn 💜
I’m glad you found it useful 😁 Cheers from the UK!
Great content. Very informative and easy to implement.
Glad it was helpful!
Great info, Daniel! I vaguely knew about the last few cards but was feeling a little overwhelmed by the idea. I've never seen such a clear layout of how to use each slot; I took a screen shot! I'll add my new cards via bulk listing change. Thanks so much for motivating and eductaging me!
I’m glad you found it helpful!! 😊
There was so much good value in this video. You've earned a new sub 👍😊
I appreciate that 😁😁
Fantastic ideas, I'm definitely going to change my photo cards! Thanks for your great content!
Great to hear!!
I've watched nearly every single POD related channel out there. This video is the first from your channel I've watched, and I gotta say - the content in this video is great, compared to all the other channels which are mostly rinse and repeat, or copy each other
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that :D
Great video! Thank you! I wish there was an example.
Glad you liked it!
The first part of the content is really helpful where you explain how to utilise the photo card real estate. Thank you for that.
Great to hear 😊
I'm a Brit too and wondered how you handled returns given our distance selling laws in the UK. I noticed on one of your product cards in your video that your text said you didn't accept returns given that each item is printed to order. I had wondered myself whether 1) it was legal to do that and 2) whether people get upset if they can't return the item?
Hi there, nice to meet a fellow Brit!
It's a bit of a grey area - there are some arguments for and against whether Print on Demand products classify as made-to-order items (Made-to-order items are exempt from the UK Returns law). If the item you sell is personalisable, meaning the customer can add their name to it for example, then this product does not qualify for the returns law, meaning it is legal to restrict the returns policy (which is primarily what I sell and do).
Also worth noting that the majority of my target audience is based in the US, where they have more lenient returns laws. Where applicable, I do indicate in my listing descriptions that returns are allowed for EU and UK customers, in line with returns laws.
Regarding if people get upset by this, I personally rarely have customers reaching out to me about returns. I think if you make sure to emphasise it throughout your shop (Policies, announcements, listing photos, listing descriptions), you're being crystal clear with the customer.
With that being said, if the customer reaches out with a product fault (like a bad print job or defective item), then I will always provide a full refund or replacement.
Hope this helps :-) Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you great video ! Have one question what size do you use in your images 😊
Thanks for your kind words!
I use the dimensions 3000px wide and 2250px tall for my Etsy photos 😀
Hi, Daniel. Thanks for the information. I had over 4,768 views on my shop but no sales. I will try this strategy out, thanks again.
You’ve got this!!
@@EtsyDaniel Thanks
Hi Daniel, love your suggestions for upselling and telling our shop story. I've been doing several of your suggests and know that space in the photo section is valuable, so I stopped putting in the page on colours and use the Manage Variations tool in the listing set up which attaches the colour choice and the photo of that colour. It can also be done for sizes of mugs. I've got step by step notes on how to do the process if you would like me to give them to you, let me know. Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful. I also shared this video with another Etsy seller. 🙂
Thanks a lot for this! I really appreciate your input. And I would love to have a look through your notes - I'm always keen to learn new things myself 😀
My email is danielclarkyt@gmail.com if you want to contact me there!
I love your content
I appreciate that! Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Daniel. Thank you so much for this information. Can you create a video on how to use canva for templates and design.
Cheers!
Thanks for your feedback!! And that's a good idea, I'll add that to my list for future videos :D
This is so Uber helpful Daniel. Go Etsy POD Brits 🎉🎉
Glad it was helpful Katy!! :D
So you use the color card to show the color options instead of showing lifestyle images for each color available?
Or would you show each lifestyle shot as a different color?
It's a greatt idea just want to be sure I get it right.
Good question! And yes, that's what I do. I personally do this so that I don't necessarily need to have a photo card dedicated to each color. Many buyers also like just being able to see all possible color options in one overview. This also depends on how many color options you're offering - so e.g. if you only have 3 colors, you could just include lifestyle photos of each.
I also don't think there is a hard rule on how you do this. If you feel more comfortable providing shoppers with lifestyle photos of all colors, then you should try that out.
Hope this helps!
For social proof on a new product that hasn't made any sales yet can you use social proof from similar products? For example you showed selling a sweatshirt, if you have a new design on a sweatshirt that you haven't sold yet can you use social proof from another sweatshirt you have sold? I have been considering this idea but not sure if it can be done?
Good question!
I think you definitely can use reviews from other products in different listings. You could, for example, title the card something like: “Hear what others have to say about my store” and then highlight your favourite reviews from across your store.
I feel like as long as you’re being clear and not deceiving around this, it can act as valuable social proof 😊
While I am waiting to get sales on a product, I use reviews that others have made on that product that I found on the print providers website. I mostly use Printful and they have lots of reviews on each product. I am selective about the information I use and don't talk about the print job, just the quality and details of the product, to give the buyer more information like this - This T-shirt is great! It is light weight but solid quality! love it! This is the type of information they would get if they were holding it. I also don't want them to be surprised when they get it and give me a bad review. So I take the information that I am hearing over and over about the product in the reviews and share it.
I'm convinced after 12k views, they just are not buying. Short of giving it away, I'm at a loss.
I am so bummed because I have over 200 views with 1 sale in 1 month… In all the educational vids I have read and watched, the math is not mathing. :(
What would you say is a good conversion rate?
I don't think there is a definitive answer to this, but from what I've found and heard from others, the average conversion rate seems to be between 1-5%. This can however vary depending on the product, niche, and also the time of the year (e.g. my conversion rates are typically a lot higher around the Holidays, which makes sense).
Hope this helps :-)
thank you! Super helpful@@EtsyDaniel
