Spinners Heart

Remember I told you I started another shop? Spinnersheart.etsy.com
Well, things have been going slow there.

Buyers that might be your first sale, sometimes turn away when they see you don't have any feedback yet. No ones really likes to be the Guinea Pig and risk being taken advantage of. For some reason, folks have a fear of new shops. They don't have any feed back, so they don't know if they have slow shipping, good service, or if they are up as a scam! I have run into a few shops that were scams...fortunately they go under before many buy...sometimes, before ANY buy! Yeah, Etsy!

I thought perhaps I would have an easier time of it since I have a good reputation with my 1st shop, and have a link to it. I mean, here is the evidence that I am a good seller, right?

Another hurdle to overcome, is the low number of items. Since spinning wheels aren't exactly a "supply" you would buy every week, most of what I have in my shop are extremely slow movers. So, I compensated with including fiber. I mean, what is a spinners greatest need? :-)

In another week, I plan on making another order into Louet, and get some more spinning fiber. I figure, the more items in your shop, the more likely whoever is looking will say, "Oh! Just what I was looking for!" ♥

So, if you are looking at my second site, and wondering why things aren't selling, those are some reasons why. Most of the time, I don't expect to ever sell a wheel, then other days I get optimistic and say, "why not?" Fiber, on the other hand, I expect will sell. I just don't promote the site nearly as much as Lambs Ears. Lambs Ears is, after all, my first shop! ♥ Time to change that!
