<br />
It's the last day of November and when I took a look at my stats, was surprised to find that although my number of orders is down from last November (53 last year, 40 this year) my actual revenue is bigger this year - so I"m happy!<br />
<br />
I've listed a couple of new items this week.<br />

<br />
I have had 315 sales, which averages out nearly 80 sales a month, and as most of those have been for multiple items, it's been a bit crazy!!<br />
<br />
I realise that it's due to Wedding Season and am not sure when that will slow down, but I reckon pretty soon. Then no doubt I shall bemoan a lack of sales. <br />
<br />
Since I last blogged there have been more changes on Etsy. I followed the whole reseller-as-featured-seller fiasco in the forums and am waiting to see how the rushed-in-to-cover-up the said fiasco Wedding Categories fiasco will pan out. I am one of the lucky ones, several of my bracelets are being featured in the bridal party category. I understand how completely frustrated other sellers are though, as tomorrow I may be one of them and not featured at all. <br />
<br />
I've also received my first negative feedback. From a buyer in the US who was unhappy that her item hadn't arrived with her in 3 working days. Etsy admin refused to change it as they don't judge the fairness of feedback, which means that international sellers on Etsy will always be vulnerable to unfair feedback from buyers who have unrealistic shipping expectations. I have now added to all my listings, as well as shop announcement, policies and a follow up convo, that I am in the UK and therefore shipping times will be slower. And I must say, maybe it was me being sensitive after that big red neg, but many of my lovely buyers leaving feedback after it have gone out of their way to comment on speedy shipping considering I am international - so thank you!!<br />
<br />
So I thought I would share some of my new items that I've got in my shop. <br />

It appears that with Christmas and New Year out of the way, brides to be have been doing some serious wedding planning and my sales last month were twice what I took the entire first year I was Etsy. It appears that my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AMIdesigns?section_id=10691654">bling range</a> has been a bit of a success and sales of that style far surpass either that of the memory wire bracelets or the pearl cluster range. <br /><br />I've introduced a personalized element with this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91072407/personalized-birthstone-jewelry-amethyst">Birthstone Ivory Pearl Bracelet</a> which seems popular with brides and for their bridesmaid gifts. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AMQHya4j7jf0dTOJsmR9HxkA4X2l9KqKAN2aCFOLgktbePHb5c6dPk9Ys2F0AewXiwz4L43c3mC8wUg4K_CSHqYtFnlD2IuI_m3icZ14uBVTywhQrGXnLrff1v7SNOBQDIGTVqOjxdo0/s1600/feb+birthstone.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AMQHya4j7jf0dTOJsmR9HxkA4X2l9KqKAN2aCFOLgktbePHb5c6dPk9Ys2F0AewXiwz4L43c3mC8wUg4K_CSHqYtFnlD2IuI_m3icZ14uBVTywhQrGXnLrff1v7SNOBQDIGTVqOjxdo0/s320/feb+birthstone.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704959300016071906" /></a><br /><br />I've also been working on some bracelets using matching colours, like this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/90215318/tangerine-tango-and-hot-pink-pearl-bling">Hot Pink and Tangerine Bling Bracelet</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRX1S6CqJdRno1Qo_B4fhjih4xHsbg6RkJbp5Uh2np0l4wA08dUQ3fQCIN2o27Xe9BHJIoG5ofZJvxRylaTTvH6SgNSR07psfYb6-JaF1D-paVevFBv4f3akMs7XDOvu8ODumYBqv0jwgY/s1600/tangerine+hot+pink.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRX1S6CqJdRno1Qo_B4fhjih4xHsbg6RkJbp5Uh2np0l4wA08dUQ3fQCIN2o27Xe9BHJIoG5ofZJvxRylaTTvH6SgNSR07psfYb6-JaF1D-paVevFBv4f3akMs7XDOvu8ODumYBqv0jwgY/s320/tangerine+hot+pink.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704960404577811010" /></a><br /><br />and this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/90199106/turquoise-and-red-pearl-bling-bracelet">Turquoise and Red Bling Bracelet</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpm33UyTQZoqqAOFnF6ED4HCP8zNGePG_W0fFpnyUMsWyThXLWY3z1YHglc-NlIj337XFIHhLklyJStKcynfZDX3JsKfdMEOQTWJiaT7ilARot8rFnfDv2otR8Ib7vQQO56lY1fo7A6l2x/s1600/il_570xN.302086360.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpm33UyTQZoqqAOFnF6ED4HCP8zNGePG_W0fFpnyUMsWyThXLWY3z1YHglc-NlIj337XFIHhLklyJStKcynfZDX3JsKfdMEOQTWJiaT7ilARot8rFnfDv2otR8Ib7vQQO56lY1fo7A6l2x/s320/il_570xN.302086360.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704961100849239842" /></a><br /><br />I'd appreciate some ideas for more colour matching if anyone has tips for hot colours this spring/summer :)AMIdesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08532823668600896952noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-187154267003583029.post-65666641401436145882011-12-30T14:52:00.004+00:002011-12-30T14:55:19.266+00:00Happy New Year!Can't believe it's been a month since I last blogged. Well I can really! November and December were completely manic with my new bling range selling like hot cakes. Then came the Christmas break, when I haven't lifted a pair of pliers for a couple of weeks. To top it all off I got featured in the Etsy Finds email a couple of days before Christmas, which was fantastic but which would be been ever more fantastic a couple of weeks earlier before the last Christmas shipping dates. <br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to wish everyone a healthy, successful and peaceful New Year.AMIdesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08532823668600896952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-187154267003583029.post-64086757667226858542011-11-25T08:33:00.006+00:002011-11-25T09:04:38.647+00:00Black Friday, Cyber Monday SaleI've decided that for this years Black Friday, Cyber Monday sales I'm just going to have a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AMIdesigns?section_id=10749307">sale section</a><br /><br />With up to 50% off it's time to catch a bargain :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/39928409/black-friday-etsy-cyber-monday-etsy">Honey and Amber Cluster Bracelet</a> Was $28, Now $14<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wrFTci39IQWlQMpyEYnCmH-P6i7D_Mo65CA8_Dab4JKvpur-tK1x3HnsqwkReDCYZdZXrpB8_SiEm32oHE81pIJb2wRuaS9fr0ATR-RLa_77zZC7nLWFUng9DWmstnhyphenhyphenCp9eLrN3itL6/s1600/honey+and+amber.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I've never stopped getting a thrill out of every sale and when someone choses my designs for their 'Big Day' it is even better. <br /><br />Today I got a convo from Lindsay, for whom I had made her bridesmaids jewellery. So I thought I would share as the photos were so gorgeous!

I see then that my sales had stalled and I was on 899 sales. Well, I'm now on 951 so that goes some way to explain why my blogging has been few and far between. September has been my best month to date on Etsy and with Christmas just around the corner, I am hoping to reach the 1000 sales mark before the end of the year. <br /><br />I have spent many, many hours trying to work out how to be found on Etsy with the relvancy changes and my upturn in sales suggests it's been time well spent. <br /><br />Basically one day the penny dropped that titles are more important than anything else with relvancy. Tagging and descriptions are important but a very poor second and third. <br /><br />And with titles, it's important to change what the first 3 words are in your listings. So eg with this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54948521/bridal-pearl-bracelet-white-pearl">White Pearl Cluster Bracelet</a> (one of my best sellers) -<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn0wgSNVdcMmJ4_E6n2v_SYpo0o_8c6hQtq5pPg7LDtHzhIYCP64Zjl4S7rC3x0_WRQXsx6xqLTfTdEM3FSizPfv2Dl1cOiGgrvfOggxU1KxWQZmPBHtdhh6HX4e8aHf_hmVrnqSLqyjkN/s1600/bridal+white.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn0wgSNVdcMmJ4_E6n2v_SYpo0o_8c6hQtq5pPg7LDtHzhIYCP64Zjl4S7rC3x0_WRQXsx6xqLTfTdEM3FSizPfv2Dl1cOiGgrvfOggxU1KxWQZmPBHtdhh6HX4e8aHf_hmVrnqSLqyjkN/s320/bridal+white.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659326482586616578" /></a><br /><br />my previous title was simply White Pearl Cluster Bracelet. Now it is the rather clunky 'Bridal Pearl Bracelet, White Pearl Cluster Bracelet, Bridal Bracelet,Chunky Pearl Bracelet, Wedding Jewelry, Winter Wedding' With Etsy allowing the pairing of appropriate words in tags I now use things like - pearl bracelet, wedding jewelry, chunky bracelet. And it is working!<br /><br />Any other relavancy success out there?AMIdesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08532823668600896952noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-187154267003583029.post-49475660356033569912011-08-19T18:08:00.003+01:002011-08-19T18:17:02.463+01:00Weekly Round UpHow has everyone elses shops been faring since the great Etsy relevancy change over? I've found that I've become completely obsessed with my shop stats, keywords and traffic sources. And even though 'search' is now my top traffic source my sales have stalled. I'm sitting on 899 sales though and just a reminder - I offer a discount of 15% to my blog followers. Just use the coupon code BLOG15
