One of my goals for 2009 is to get my etsy shop fully stocked, as well as a shop right here on my own website.

By fully stocked, I mean every item I can make multiples of should be listed on my website and my etsy shop.

This way, it will be easy for people to purchase my most popular items online, using the method they feel most comfortable with.

I think this will increase my online sales – my etsy sales have certainly increased since I started listing the series of freshwater pearl drop earrings and the silver and copper studs that I make. That may not be the reason my sales have increased, but I think that it can’t hurt. It’s definitely less work to relist an item on etsy than it is to list a new one of a kind, so this streamlines my business a bit: galleries get the one of a kinds, and limited editions go online.
