etsy loves... challenge complete.

so... it just hit me the other day... i have completed my task.  a treasury on etsy every day for a full month.  i completed that task this week with my "date nights in" treasury!  

it's done a lot for me.  it's gotten my name out in circles where it wasn't before.  it's gotten me more sales and people interested in future purchases.  it has people recognizing me in a different way than before.

was it worth the time?  yes.

was it worth the effort?  in the beginning, it was painful.  creatively fun, but painful.  it seemed to take forever and i wasn't sure if the outcome was worth it.  so in the end, was it worth it?  you betcha.

have i gotten better at curating?  i think so.  i hope so.  some i know others will like, and some i do just for me... whether others like them or not.

has my marketing test worked?  yes.  very much! 

ok... so how did it do with real numbers?



those who favorite my shop have gone up 600%


what about sales?  i've almost doubled my sales (in just one month, might i add, compared to the same amount of sales in 4 months combined)

so, yes.  it was worth it.  and will continue to be... as i choose to take the time to advertise through the curating process known as etsy treasuries!
