hey what's up guys welcome to Etsy print
on demand Shop reviews this is episode
number 46 and today we're going to be
taking a look at a nice looking Etsy
shop I only took a glance at it but they
had some really good looking thumbnails
so I want to see if they are adhering to
a lot of the best practices and also
take a glance at how many sales they've
made to date because I didn't even slow
down to take a look at that yet so we're
gonna take another look at this Etsy
Shop see what they did well see if they
can improve on anything so let's get
started
[Music]
some free resources for you all Linked
In the description I've got the weekly
print on demand giveaway that'll end
tomorrow the winners will be randomly
selected and announced I've got the
eight day print on demand mini course
delivered via email just give me your
email address I'll send you one lesson a
day for eight days to get you started on
Etsy and I've got a great print on
demand Facebook group if you're not a
member yet I'd love to have you alright
let's jump on over to Etsy alright so
the shop is Kindred cloth Co and I will
link to it in the description like I
normally do 36 sales four and a half
star average review I do like you know
the banner you get the profile image
here
featured items I mean these mock-ups are
really good
um definitely seen some best sellers
using similar mock-ups in the past so we
know that those work
um and again you don't need to guess
just kind of look at what's selling
really well on Etsy and take take a cue
from you know what what is working
already
all right let me zoom in
um
all right so featured items Wildflower
shirt that looks like that shirt from
Amazon merch by the way wasn't there one
like that on merch that was selling
really well
um
to me I don't know I I think from
staring at these merches or these niches
on Amazon merch every single week it's
like they all start to blur together but
I think this looks pretty good um you
got some additional mock-ups here like
hanging in the closet different mock-up
here on a different color okay
these all look really good I wonder if
you're doing this manually or are you
using a solution like bulk mock-up
potentially
um I did mention that on my video that I
dropped a couple weeks ago showing you
how I was doing some of my Etsy mock-ups
I gave a bunch of different options
honestly and the cool thing about bulk
mock-up was it was a script that you
install in Photoshop and then you can
basically just make a folder with your
designs a folder with your blank
mock-ups and then it'll just apply them
and Export them in a third folder so
that's cool
you got all your available colors here
so you got a color chart I like that
um and then your pricing your pricing is
pretty high but I guess if people are
paying it you know more power to you so
25 dollars a shirt hey why not if you
can if you can collect it why not got
the sizing chart as well
okay
and you say women should typically size
down one size from their usual T-shirt
size okay so there you go
all shirts are made to order therefore
we cannot accept returns or exchanges
however we do replace shirts they may be
misprinted okay awesome so you got some
good generic
um and you know it's branded too you got
your logo there at the bottom so this
shop does look really good
I would say Well done also I decided to
jump on over to Insight Factory which
I'll link in the description and just
kind of spy on the Wildflower t-shirt
which apparently I had a typo so my bad
there let's re uh re-research that uh
Wildflower t-shirt though uh on inside
Factory and we can get kind of a
projection of how well these are selling
like some of these top ranked listings
are making sales you know daily like we
can see as of recording this uh at least
the top three
made a sale today the fourth one made a
sale yesterday
um fifth sixth sold today seventh sold
today so Wildflower Niche seems to be
really good
um
if I clicks uh click the today you can
actually see a projection of the sales
relative to the date and you can track
the number of views these listings are
getting so if you're getting you know
100 views a day on a listing that is
certainly indicative of a niche that I
want to be in also notice what that
slant looks like of course I'm on a
green screen so I'm doing it in reverse
but it is up and to the right generally
speaking even though there are some
fluctuations day over day so this is
anybody watching you know definitely a
niche you may want to consider entering
like I said I've seen it do well on
merch by Amazon in the future or in the
past in the future I've seen the future
uh in the past as well so uh interesting
and then also I've seen a similar kind
of design style where this Wildflower
Niche seems to have like multiple
flowers on it and also very like thin
Graphics not that you have to follow the
previous designs but you know I do see
some um similarities there 427 favorites
uh tags here by the way too if you make
listings and you're like damn what tags
do I use or you just say hey I need to
add these 13 tags I know I need to use
them
but it takes too long well hey inside
Factory also helps you with tags you
literally just click where it says copy
tags and you can just paste I put them
in the URL up here just so you can see
and it does in fact paste them in a way
that you can just paste them into Etsy
and you've got all 13 tags for your
listing so pretty easy so check out
inside Factory they are my go-to for
Etsy um you have a customer review here
uh three out of 5 stars
says the shirt is really big I really
should have ordered a medium instead of
a large
of course they didn't pay attention to
the sizing chart where it says women
should typically size down one size
whenever I get a bad review
if it's going to drop your shop reviews
to under 5 stars
I reach out to the customer and ask them
if I can make it right in any way shape
or form like I even had to do that uh
just last week I think like some
customer left a bad review they didn't
like the shirt that the design was
printed on so I literally just said hey
if I send you a new shirt
same design but different brand of shirt
I you know you can always use words like
I'll upgrade you to a nicer shirt stuff
like that would you consider you know
updating your review and they said yes
so I sent them the new shirt and now I
need to follow up with that after I
record this video see if they actually
updated the review maybe I'll kind of
poke them be like hey did you get the
new shirt yet
um anyways a little aside there I think
that listing looked really good though
you definitely had a lot of like good
mock-ups and the more generic stuff like
the sizing chart and whatnot
um Yellowstone see I don't know man this
is the type of thing that like
you just got to be careful with because
we're doing a long-term business and
I you know Yellowstone is a national
park but when you put the Yellowstone
Ranch logo from the TV show in the
background all of a sudden
it's like uh you might be rolling the
dice there with your business and if you
get kicked off Etsy it is a big pain to
get back on
um and looks like you've got quite a bit
of Yellowstone merch so I would
just uh make sure if you're gonna go
this route that it is a calculated risk
and then you got the New Balance kind of
logo there but it says ND instead of MB
just you know make sure that you're cool
with like all of these just you know
it's it's Etsy right we know that they
don't really have the rejection approval
algorithm upon submission but we do know
that if you are on the receiving end of
infringement reports
you know that can end badly for you
whether or not you did something wrong
by the way because sometimes you
actually did do something wrong other
times you you don't actually need to do
something wrong people can just report
you and
if it happens enough times you will
get removed from the platform as what
happened to me in 2019 so anyways um we
live and we learn though don't we okay
so you got you're making different
listings with these designs so you might
not even have that many designs because
you only have 60 products for sale and
if we look at like the Yellowstone one
right that's six of your 60 listings so
ten percent right there right is that 10
65 or 60 yeah
long day long day the flower designs
here one two three four five six seven
eight nine so nine of your 60 are just a
flower design
um some of these other designs they look
really good like you just need to I
think create more designs uh I like the
way that you're like cropping these like
zooming in framing them really well
that is good although I am zoomed in so
it is worth mentioning that like you
know bride and then it says established
2022 but you can't see the established
22 if I go to 100 Zoom it is really
really really hard to read these texts
so I personally always lean towards
zooming in more
but it is I guess your because you know
Etsy gives you the ability to kind of
crop and zoom in or out on your primary
thumbnail so it's up to you you got to
do what you think is best for your shop
the nice thing about Etsy is you really
can make it your own um
um so I mean by the way the thing that I
think you're doing really well is your
mock-up so these look great
um I would love to know if you're doing
them manually or if this is like I said
you're using like an automation solution
I mean you only have 60 listings so if
you were doing it manually it you know
wouldn't surprise me eventually though
you may want to consider like something
more scalable I know my designs is
working on
um their print-on-demand Integrations
and they already are really good for
generating mock-ups and I know they've
been adding more and in the future they
may add the ability to like kind of
upload your own smart object mock-ups at
least that's what I was told and that
would be amazing so we'll see what
happens there but the my design software
is free or I should say it's at least
free right now while it's still in beta
so make sure you sign up I'll also drop
a link to that in the description uh
because hey you can't beat free right
and eventually you'll have to pay I do
like man your mock-ups though this the
shop has great mock-ups
um careful when you do uh designs like
this I mean I know it's Etsy and there's
a certain look a certain vibe that
you're going for but uh just like the
the brown on round it's also you're
selling these on the internet so you do
want to try to adhere to some of these
best practices
and when you put Brown on Brown it's
already not popping and then when the
text is super small you know like this
one especially
uh the way it was framed here in this
mock-up like right behind me that I'm
pointing to right here
um you're not doing yourself many favors
there you know not that it isn't a good
product that I'm sure people would love
to buy but you know what I mean you
still have to frame it in a way that
generates interest from the Etsy
customer and so they don't scroll right
past it uh but this shop I mean yeah
this shop has potential I wish I knew
how many shirts you're selling at
25 uh that's always because I'm always
wondering like if I'm charging too much
not charging enough et cetera I usually
Price Mine on around like 19.99. the one
thing I know you can do is add the loss
leader so Mark just one of your skus one
of your color size combinations down a
bit to generate interest I think that
will definitely benefit you over the
long run because it gets a higher
click-through rate and then most people
as long as they're not buying you know
an extra small size or you know size
extra small color white you know
whatever you end up doing for the loss
leader uh you'll end up making full
price anyways if they convert again
color contrast you know sometimes you
can probably improve upon it like right
here it says here comes the bride but
it's just kind of blending in with the
color of that sweatshirt so just be
mindful of those things but I think
overall definitely a good looking shop
and then you may want to reconsider how
you do your sections just because if you
do them by niche
most likely um after a while you'll be
in way more niches than your allowed
sections on Etsy so you may want to
consider doing it by like product type
and then you can split out like trending
niches into its own section and then
when they're not trending anymore just
delete that section just a thought
