hey what's up guys welcome to etsy shop
reviews this is episode number 41 and we
are reviewing a print on demand etsy
shop today i mean we typically do print
on demand etsy shops but today we've got
a good one they've got over 5 000
listings live and for sale on etsy and i
know there's some
kind of disagreement about what is the
optimal approach i know some people say
you know restrict the number of listings
only keep your best sellers up there uh
and i've seen other people say you know
the opposite and this shop would
probably lean towards the opposite given
they have over 5000 listings but anyways
we're going to check out what it is that
they are doing well and what they can
maybe improve upon we're going to see if
we can learn anything from them because
they're doing pretty well uh with what
they're selling i don't want to ruin it
for you but i haven't taken too hard of
a look either but this is something a
little bit outside the box of what we
typically see in a print on demand shop
on etsy so you're not going to want to
miss this one guys why don't we get
started
real quick reminder i've got some links
in the description one of them is to the
free weekly print on demand giveaway
make sure you take advantage of that two
winners will be randomly selected and
announced tomorrow during top five
niches of the week i've got an eight day
print on demand mini course that will
help you get started selling print on
demand on etsy all you need is your
email address i'll send you one lesson a
day and i've got a great print on demand
facebook group if you guys would like to
join i would love to have you all right
let's jump on over to etsy
all right here we are at les petits
pendant unique and personalized jewelry
for any occasion all right awesome so
this shop uh by the way
5209 listings so you sometimes i wonder
like should we
reduce the number of listings we have on
etsy or should we just go for it and in
this case they certainly went for it
they've got a lot of listings it looks
like they're being rewarded handsomely
because they've got 16 735 sales
not bad not bad at all
uh so here we go as far as featured
items go
uh they've got well first of all take a
look at the jewelry in general this has
been a really popular sort of
product style lately i know there is a
company called
shine on that uh
sells something similar to this i guess
they have like a large catalog of all
products that are very similar so you'll
notice right here you see what i'm
talking about right away we can
see let's see if we find that exact
product is that basically it yeah so
check that out i didn't plan this but
this is basically the exact product um
and they're saying average sale price
fifty dollars average base cost thirteen
dollars sixty cents average profit
thirty six dollars thirty five cents
pretty impressive right there i would
say
um so yeah and as you see here forty two
dollars forty six cents so simple math
if we just take
42.46 minus 13.6
28.86 of profit you got to pay etsy of
course and then etsy ads most likely
uh pay shipping from that but yeah still
very healthy profit margins um to work
with so they've got their featured items
right here we know that as of recording
this um you know mother's day
is right around this time of year so
there's going to be a lot of sales
taking place and probably some that will
lag behind mother's day for everybody
that forgot to get their mom a gift too
or they're just you know what i mean
these types of things that sell year
round uh you can see here they
are selling for every year so this is
kind of an interesting way
of doing this because they could have
you see what i'm saying right here
they've got all these different birthday
year
uh
like like gifts even though it's really
just changing you know the number on the
card uh so rather than just doing one
listing and offering personalization
they went ahead and they just said nope
we're going to type the year and maybe
it's for search engine optimization
you know what i mean because when
someone types in 36 year old man 36th
birthday gift you see what i'm saying
like when they type that in
this is going to rank whereas if it just
said birthday gift chain
personal personal
personalization available well that's
not the same right you see what i'm
saying so this is actually kind of
supporting my theory or at least how i
would go about doing it and i have the
web developer background i do have like
a successful website that i built
while i was in college you know taught
me a ton about search engine
optimization so this is more or less
kind of
the approach that i would lean towards
taking it is interesting to see that
they've they've been quite successful in
taking this approach as well 16 735
sales
so what else do they have going on here
by the way it's not just shine on that
does this style of jewelry um at least
with the necklaces and the customizable
cards behind them i know gear bubble
many of you guys have heard me talk
about gear bubble they do that as well
so interesting to um consider that you
know the couple companies kind of maybe
learning from each other that maybe we
should be doing some you know
some jewelry right and like taking this
approach with a custom cards because
think about it the necklace doesn't have
to change it's just a piece like a card
behind the necklace like whoever thought
of this is a genius right um
because i mean that's so cheap to just
change the print on a card
and uh just have the you know little i
don't want to say cheap jewelry but i
mean come on it's a 13 piece jewelry
here not exactly expensive uh hanging in
the front and then if you frame it well
like they have done here on this shop
well then you know the rest is history
so they're listing you know watches
average profit 43 dollars like let's see
here the wood watch
um let's see should we find shine on
wood watch
let's see
where is it where is it
shine on wood watch right here so
they're actually trying to sell it to us
that's interesting
i want to know the base cost shine on
show me the base cost
uh interesting time and tide
okay so nevermind they're just showing
us customized watches but let's just
assume
they're probably making like 30 bucks
profit per per watch sale sold here uh
and it really just boils down to like
seo because it's not like this shop is
unique in selling shine on products a
lot of people do that um
i mean i've talked to some people about
it like i've looked into it i don't know
if it's something i'm gonna get into or
not um i always think more along the
lines of like oh man let me get these on
amazon because shine on doesn't have an
amazon integration as far as i know
so that's where my head is kind of at
right now and i think i know a way of
doing it i've just been kind of dragging
my feet on getting that integration put
together
check this out like first communion with
the cross
um
yeah i mean and also very healthy profit
margins i know
with you know whatever we want to say
2022 like inflation from you know the
response to covet and stuff like that in
2020 like
uh we don't want to like put in all this
work for three dollars profit on you
know a t-shirt but hey if we're selling
jewelry at like
30 profit you know obviously extra fees
and whatnot
that's not fair to say what i just said
actually because when you get to three
dollars profit from a t-shirt it's after
you've taken all the fees out so we
should do the same for jewelry but it
seems like this probably supports
on average a higher profit margin so
um this is definitely worth considering
uh i i can put a link to shine on in the
description too and i'll put a link to
gear bubble as well because i know that
gear bubble's doing a lot of similar
stuff i actually just had a nice call
with um
someone from gearbubble i didn't do a
video on it maybe i should have
last week and they gave me some insights
into like what products are selling
really well uh currently at gearbubble
and it was a lot of similar products to
what you see here and obviously in may
with mother's day and i always think of
like birthdays too because my mom and my
sister both have birthdays in may so um
yeah but we know this is probably if
it's maybe not the peak month because
it's probably december but probably the
second best selling month for anybody
selling this style of jewelry check out
the candles i mean
and what's cool is they don't have that
wide of a product offering um
it seems like they're just kind of
working their way through the shine on
catalog
but you know the candles is an
interesting take you know 30 candle not
bad at all
not all these are framed kind of equally
i think like this is not an example of
maybe a great way to frame the product
unless it comes with
oh it's earring and necklace set so you
get both okay got it got it um like this
the way that they frame this product
right here is not that great it's so far
zoomed out you can't even read it
even though they did do a little zoom in
but it's kind of cropped out right there
so it just kind of shows you
um
like they they could have done this
primary image definitely better guys it
shows you that a shop that
definitely has their stuff together in
terms of like they're grinding through
creating a bunch of listings and whatnot
uh 16 700 sales is their reward but you
know there's still room to improve on a
shop like this so i think we could draw
inspiration from it that like they are
not a perfect shot by any stretch um and
they're still like doing this well so i
think you guys should definitely be
optimistic about you know how much money
you can make selling print on demand
stuff online um this reminds me of kind
of gear bubble too i know they have the
ability to customize
the uh
you know the heart necklaces and whatnot
so this is interesting so
they're not offering personalization
custom photo keychain so i guess you can
just uh
message them yeah so it says contact
shop owner button in the message click
attach image button below so if
anybody's looking to
i guess
maybe i'm not saying steal their idea
but like if you want to sell kind of
custom image type jewelry or shirts or
anything
you may want to like mimic your mimic
their description that you see right
here
use this as your your jumping off point
for how you would do this um
not a bad idea since they clearly have
experience and success in this area this
is the one thing about etsy is like man
when you're when you're big on etsy you
know in your
thousands of sales and whatnot like
you're gonna deal with a lot of customer
inquiries
customer confusion about where do i
attach it's like well i know where you
attach it says right here in the
description click attach image but yeah
so you're gonna deal with that headache
that is the one trade-off guys but um
this is really cool to see somebody
doing so well here and uh also i'm just
kind of like going through this and
just kind of learning the the shine on
catalog so i'm assuming that this is all
pretty much fulfilled by shine on if i
had to guess but uh yeah guys i think
we'll wrap this shop review here let me
know your thoughts below have you used
shine on in the past or are you looking
forward to using it in the future maybe
integrating it with etsy is that
