Share Your Success!

March 25, 2010

Today's newsletter is written for the seller in Europe, however, a lot of these tips hold true to those selling anywhere in the world, so no slacking! If you are a U.S. based seller, in celebration of Etsy Euro Week, I encourage you to consider selling internationally (if you don't already).

Selling From Europe
Setting up a shop is technically the same process for a seller anywhere in the world, but we know selling from Europe comes with its own challenges. So I went to the Etsy community with the question, "What tried and true tips do you have to share?" With the help of many of our successful European sellers, I bring you a two-part guide to selling from Europe.

Part 1 of the guide covers product development, descriptions, tagging, and community.

Part 2 dives into shipping, customer service tips, and legalities.

Are Your Buyers Sleeping?
If you're in another time zone than a good portion of your customers, you might want to consider scheduling some of your social media outreach. This blog post by Etsy seller, morphologica, can help explain how to send out a blog post, tweet, or Facebook Fan Page update while you're sleeping and your buyers are awake. This is a great tactic for sellers with full-time jobs, or sellers anywhere in the world who want to reach out to another time zone. Read on to learn how to promote while you're sleeping!
