StrenoGoods: A 3D Printing Success with 801 Sales and Growing!
Let’s shine a spotlight on StrenoGoods, a creative Etsy shop that has made an impressive 801 sales and counting! Run by Ivy, the shop is a wonderful example of how 3D printing can create products that are both practical and unique. Although there’s no banner image just yet, everything else about this shop is firing on all cylinders, including Star Seller status and great reviews. The shop is currently on vacation, which provides a great opportunity to discuss the effect of momentum on Etsy. As Ivy will likely agree, Etsy thrives on consistent activity—when a store goes on break, it can take 2-4 weeks to regain sales momentum. While it's understandable to take a breather, finding ways to stay active is key. That said, StrenoGoods is clearly doing many things right!
StrenoGoods features well-designed, functional items like a toy organizer that wouldn’t exist without 3D printing. This is where the shop’s brilliance lies. The item, priced at just $13, is an example of a niche product that fills a very specific need. Offering limited color options keeps things simple, and as Ivy knows, people don’t need endless color choices—just something that works. With excellent reviews and recent feedback pouring in, it’s obvious that customers love this product. The organizer’s design, featuring smart details like a small nub to prevent toys from sliding off, shows careful thought and craftsmanship. This is the kind of product that could easily be set up for passive income by integrating with a print-on-demand service. The cost to produce is relatively low, leaving plenty of margin for profit, while all the logistics—printing, shipping, and handling—can be managed automatically. A win-win!
One of the standout features of StrenoGoods is its attention to detail in listing presentations. The photos are in context, showing the product in real-world settings rather than using sterile white backgrounds, which helps customers visualize the product in their homes. There’s even a video reviewing the product, adding a dynamic touch that boosts customer confidence. StrenoGoods also does a fantastic job of linking listings together, guiding shoppers through the store with ease. This is a great way to increase visibility for related products, creating a seamless shopping experience that encourages customers to browse and buy multiple items. This toy organizer, designed for Lovevery chunky puzzles, is the perfect example of targeting a specific niche. As a local Boise-based company, Lovevery is well-known, and Ivy’s creation is the perfect accessory for their product line. This level of specificity is what makes the store stand out.
Lastly, while StrenoGoods is already doing an excellent job, adding a banner image could take it to the next level. A banner is a great way to brand the shop and create a welcoming first impression for potential buyers. Overall, Ivy has built a solid foundation with well-designed products, a clear niche, and excellent presentation. With five of the toy organizers already in customers' carts, there’s no doubt this shop will continue to thrive once the vacation mode is lifted. Keep up the great work, Ivy—StrenoGoods is definitely one to watch!
