3. Learn how to sell Paintings on Etsy.
Test your Product first. For example, making some samples and posting them on Instagram and Pinterest. Ask your friends and followers some questions:
- Do you like the Paintings product I made?
- If you like it, do you want to buy it?
- If you are considering buying it, how much are you willing to pay for it?
- If you buy it, how long are you willing to wait?
- If you don't like it, why?
The answers would help optimize your Paintings products.
Next, set up an Etsy account to start selling on Etsy. The 2 must-dos are:
- Build a consistent and unique brand for your Paintings shop. Shop name, logo, brand colors, fonts, mission and vision, and packaging...... all need to be considered.
- List your Paintings items and make sure to optimize the listings. A good listing includes a thorough description, professional images, keywords related to your product, and the best category or subcategory for your Paintings products.
Attention, you should recognize the limitations of selling on Etsy. You can sell Paintings on other 18 sites like Etsy. Also, you should consider opening a Global Etsy Shop (read more on Etsy International Shipping: Road to a Global Etsy Shop).
4. Decide how to ship Paintings on Etsy.
Unlike on Amazon and Walmart, the shipping process on Etsy is entirely the responsibility of the sellers. It is essential for you to read Etsy's shipping policies and create shipping strategies. Here are two suggestions to win customers:
(1) Choose appropriate delivery dates and postage rates.
For your references. After entering the keyword "Paintings" on the Etsy keyword research tool, we can see the average shipping time of Paintings products is 14. In addition, some of the Paintings sellers attract customers by using Etsy free shipping.
You can go much further into this with How To Get Free Shipping On Etsy: All Aspects of Etsy Free Shipping.
