It is that time of the year again. When I pull out my needles and get down to business. Despite the fact that the heat index says that it is 104 outside, I am knitting. Do not let me fool you, I love knitting. I love designing new items and thinking about how I am going to sell them. Who might buy them and whether they will have a remarkable moment (first kiss, reunite with an old friend, visit their first Dooney & Bourke flagship store) while wearing it. However as I knit, it is unbearably hot in the the midwest. I wish I had a pool. Like an adult size kitty pool. You can knit and swim right?
I digress. This post is about analyzation. I recently read a blog post (I try to read 3 post a day, everyday.) written by a woman who realized that here most popular etsy item (the one that landed in all of the treasuries and had hundreds of hearts) was not her best selling one. In fact, her best selling item was rarely listed in treasuries and was more expensive. That is when it struck me, I have not analyzed what the best selling items in my shop are.
I am now on a mission. I am going to actually download my Shop Stats (go to your Etsy page and look under orders) and go thru item by item to figure out what I sold the most of and try to figure out why.
Wish me luck friends, this might suck. I will, however gain some much need knowledge of my store.
As always I will share the details of my quest.
Go forth and Swim!
