Are you ready for the holiday rush?


While the summer months are slow you may want to get ready for the holiday purchasing season. Here's a list of some things you might want to consider:
  • Stock up on packaging; tissue, tape, boxes, envelopes, shipping materials
  • Business cards, regular or moo
  • Stickers
  • Organize your craft/design work area so that you know where everything is.
  • Update your etsy shop, perhaps your banner needs refreshing
  • Take a good look at your pictures, update them if necessary
  • Set up your shop announcement for SEO optimization
  • Are your shop policies set for holiday delivery times?
  • Make sure your listings also draw your customer in and have all of the pertinent information.
  • Are you getting those new designs ready? Post them early, since there are people who shop early (thankfully)

What do you do to get ready for the holiday purchasing season?
