1) Hold an open house
One way to guarantee sales is to hold an open house. Invite family and friends, offer up a few nibbles and display yourhandmade wares around your home. Not only is it a great way to show your acquaintances what you’ve been up to all year but you can use the opportunity to get feedback on your products and ideas for the future.
2) Offer gift certificates
Many people give gift certificates when they are not sure what to buy. By providing gift certificates you don’t miss out on a sale also the receiver will then come to your shop and may become a regular customer.
3) Start early
Now that Halloween is over its time to start listing your Christmas items. Almost anything can be marketed as a gift you just have to choose the right wording.
4) Offer gift wrap
Have a separate listing in your shop for gift wrap. Etsy has some great advice here
5) Offer free shipping
Depending on where you are based free shipping can be a great way of getting extra sales. Sometimes people can be put off from buying online if the shipping fees are too high, especially if they are buying from many sellers all at once. If you offer free shipping within your country it can go a little way to making that sale.
