How Goldie’s Vinyl Reached 8,000 Sales (and How You Can Too!)
Hey everyone! Today, we’re checking out an Etsy store that has made quite the name for itself—Goldie’s Vinyl. With 8,000 sales under its belt, we’re here to explore how the store has achieved such success and share tips that can help other 3D printing stores reach their full potential. Let’s dive in!
Goldie’s Vinyl is doing a lot of things right. First, they’ve maximized the use of their Etsy store header, providing links to their website and Instagram. This is a clever move, as it helps reduce dependency on Etsy by driving traffic to their other channels. The store’s logo is decent but could be simplified—sometimes less is more when it comes to branding. What really stands out, though, is how well the store engages with its customers. Speedy replies and good shipping practices are key factors in their success. And let’s not forget the glowing reviews!
When it comes to products, Goldie’s Vinyl offers a mix of 3D printed items, laser-cut products, and more. Their photography is on point, with simple backgrounds and images that clearly show off the items in context. One example that caught my eye is a super cute duck design—it looks like a $20 item, but it's priced lower. Don't be afraid to raise your prices! Etsy shoppers expect to pay more for handcrafted, unique items. Similarly, cookie cutters are a major hit on Etsy, and you can easily charge between $7 to $10 for these, especially if they feature specific designs like Golden Retrievers. Remember, price your items based on their value and competition, not just the material cost.
Goldie’s Vinyl is using sales, which is a smart move to get more visibility, but sales shouldn’t be on all the time. Instead, use them strategically to remind your followers of upcoming events or special occasions. The reminder is just as valuable as the discount itself! While the store’s photos, product descriptions, and overall design are well-executed, there is always room for improvement. For example, if shipping times feel slow, consider outsourcing the 3D printing process. Using a print-on-demand service can accelerate shipping times, boost search rankings, and reduce the workload of running a print farm. By increasing product prices slightly, you can cover the cost of outsourced printing and shipping, all while keeping a healthy profit margin.
In summary, Goldie’s Vinyl is doing an outstanding job. Their strong customer engagement, excellent product photography, and well-thought-out items have helped them reach 8,000 sales. With a few small tweaks—like adjusting prices and considering outsourcing—they can take their store to the next level and make their lives a little easier in the process. Kudos to the team at Goldie’s Vinyl for their success!
