hey what's up guys welcome to episode
number 40 of etsy shop reviews today
we've got a really cool looking shop i
haven't taken a long hard look at it or
anything like that i just briefly kind
of looked at the
the main banner image and the first few
products and it looks
like it's going to be interesting all
right it looks like it is a themed niche
shop and it looks like it's got some
pretty quality designs so i can't wait
to see what it has in store for us and
hopefully we can provide some valuable
feedback in ways that they might be able
to improve their presence on etsy so why
don't we get started
[Music]

facebook group if you would like to join
i would love to have you there all right
let's jump on over to etsy alright we
are here at moon phase design on etsy
first and foremost check out their
banner that is really cool so
look at this banner for an etsy shop um
it's just very professional it's got the
like watercolor uh design on it but it
looks like it's digital so i don't know
how the heck you were able to um make
such a it looks like you would have
scanned in a real life watercolor yet
you've got it on your digital design
that's really i think it's super cool um
the way you use contrast as well like in
the bottom left corner ask me about
personalization in white text against
the purple background
you've got pictures of your designs with
like tape uh everything seems themed and
free shipping kind of behind my head it
says free shipping when you spend 35
us only which by the way why not put
that in the banner right of course
that's brilliant because etsy pretty
much makes everybody do the they don't
make you but i mean they really strongly
incentivize you to do the free shipping
guarantee so
i'm really loving what i'm seeing
already and we haven't even gotten to
the actual shop
all right so moon phase design no matter
what phase you're in you are still whole
so nice little slogan there they got the
shop
avatar there
uh the seller avatar bree
the welcome message what did it say
welcome to moon phase design a shop
where you can find unique quality shirts
mugs bags shoes and more almost
everything can be personalized send me a
message and we can get that going so i
mean this whole shop right away like
of we're 40 episodes deep in etsy shop
reviews we haven't even looked at the
products yet we just need to
take a second and appreciate like how
well
brie has done with the branding of this
shop because it feels
authentic and official and premium i
don't know like it just feels like
a great etsy shop like somebody who i
mean if you didn't know like if i
blanked out the number of sales that she
had and i said guess
you'd probably guess a couple thousand
sales right so hopefully it's just a
matter of time
until they until brie gets you know to
that point thousands of sales because
yeah i mean so far from what we can see
this is a really nice touch on the the
etsy shop
so as far as items go uh it looks like
you have 153 items available for sale
you've got sections so 420 friendly
which we know can sell pretty well
the custom shoes too by the way i mean
that's pretty interesting like i
i if you watch this bree let me know if
you're making sales on these shoes cause
like i love the idea i just don't know
how hard it is to sell shoes to people
in general but also really nice design i
mean look how nice these shoes look
like
you got to respect that and also look at
how she did the um
the border of the of the image there of
the shoes and you've got your shop logo
i mean this is really honestly like a
beautiful shop
really well done
um you know pricing wise i think people
will pay 75 for a pair of shoes so i
wouldn't even think twice about that and
it looks like these are 70
um one thing you could maybe do is like
run a sale you know what i mean run like
a 10 off sale uh even if you know you
have to adjust your pricing like why not
just kind of do that it's something that
stands off like you've got this one
you've running a sale here on this mug
um
and it's just another way of standing
out in search results and when when
everybody else is running a sale and
you're not in me actually if everybody
else is running a sale and you're not
then you're standing out i guess so that
would be the the better way of doing it
so
um anyways let's check out other
sections i like your designs though i
mean the shoe designs that's where i
always struggle when i look into like
new products to offer i'm always like
man how do i
how do i design the shoes you know what
i mean
uh spirituality
this is pretty cool like your designs
again great contrast by the way in your
color selections like this design is
beautiful look at that
even though it's you know so simple but
like anybody watching this video if
you're like man that does look good you
know and i mean you could literally
forget the niche right you can make your
own text only
design in a completely different niche
right just words
stack the words and use this color
scheme and it's going to look probably
almost just as good right so when i see
color schemes like this sometimes i just
take a little screenshot here pull it
into photoshop and then do the little
color dropper the the the eyedrop and
save the hex color codes in a list and i
just give it a title so i can find it
later
um just as a quick tip you got videos
too
so shout out to you know brie again
doing everything possible to make these
listings as high quality as possible
um showing off multiple colors
like this is really awesome um so you
only offer in black and white okay
you're doing the loss leader by the way
so it says um so check that out it says
extra small 16.99 so when you click the
listing itself you see you see right
behind me here by the way 10 people have
it in the cart too so well done 16.99 is
the price you see of course when you get
to the listing itself
of the shirt you see that you know
you're probably paying 25.99 to 26.99
which again you can say is misleading
and yeah it is it is but like etsy again
is setting the playing field here not
not you and i right we just play by the
rules etsy dictates the rules so do
everything you can to at a minimum keep
up with your competition because i
guarantee you as you climb the the rungs
of the ladder
you're getting into you're mixing in
with the big boys and the big boys all
do it guys they all do it
um personalized shoes that's really cool
concept as well
again great designs great color schemes
loving it man i'm like jealous of your
etsy shop honestly humorous
uh ambitious the desire to become a
better [ __ ] that's pretty hilarious by
the way again
the mock-ups look at the mock-ups guys i
mean each one of these there's different
styles of mock-ups
right you've got
some more zoomed in some zoomed out some
at different angles
different mock-ups
yet you're adhering to what i would
consider to be the best practices if i
had to say one that's like
two of them could that could be improved
like maybe this one you know and then
maybe this one right here behind me as
well um are the only two that i'd say
maybe could be improved upon
just a little bit but that's not even a
knock like it's just saying you know me
being nitpicky actually no this one too
here
um i'm not a huge fan of it because the
it's so slanted that it makes it hard to
read the text and i think a more
straight like if we just compare these
two to each other like this one is
straight on right
whereas this one is sideways and also
the 3d effect being that zoomed out like
i might make the the thumbnail like like
this right here although it's still kind
of sideways so i don't know i'd probably
change that like i'm just trying to be a
nit picky here to try to provide some
feedback on minor improvements uh i
always just like to keep things simple
like you know this shirt right here it's
straightforward it shows the design off
well
i like to keep things simple as far as
those go personally um
mental health you've got journals and
notebooks by the way and you're
where are you getting these uh these i
haven't really tried to sell any
journals and notebooks honestly um just
because i'm like worried about competing
with kdp
but by the way three people have this in
their card so well done you're
definitely doing something right uh but
yeah i love these mock-ups though you
know what i mean so i'm not familiar
with where to do journals mock-ups if i
had to guess i'd say you're probably
using place it just because i saw using
the videos too and that's typically an
indicator of place it but um
yeah i mean these journals look really
really nice like like i'm just saying if
we had a hundred people
all sell the same journal like let's go
to this one right here that i liked
if we had 100 people selling this exact
journal
you might be the number one top
performer selling this exact journal
because i think you stumbled your way
into
and i'm not trying to make it sound like
it was coincidence i'm just saying like
you have a great mock-up you framed
your product in a beautiful way and i
mean i don't know if this was
intentional but look at how you matched
the like colors of the things in the
background
to the design on the cover of this i
mean it's beautiful
like everybody take note right now this
is amazing that you did that
and i mean if it's coincidence then man
that was a lucky coincidence but i doubt
it was coincidence uh this looks just
beautiful
um so really well done i mean and look
you know top top review right here wait
the last two reviews actually are both
people buying this exact journal
so i mean man that's great um
you know what let's just cut the oh you
have digital downloads actually let's
check this out as well
um you're selling like apple watch and
phone wallpapers for 8.99 so here's an
easy like low-hanging fruit if you
wanted to
um run a sale you know what i mean you
could definitely
uh run your sale like on digital
downloads even if you just double the
price and then run 50 off something like
that you know low hanging fruit to help
increase the click-through rate of your
digital downloads but honestly like i'm
really really proud of you with this
etsy shop i think you're doing a great
job and like however many sales it said
you had 101 like i think you'll be at a
year from now be well over a thousand
sales if you just keep it up so
well done
