Boot Camp Week 2

  
This week Boot Camp focused on the customer.

The article Etsy Success: Merchandising for the Holidays  gave some very good advice on custom identification. And need to identify who your customers are. For example, a 60 year old shop worker is probaby not going to be a customer. And if he is, he is not the customer I want to target, although I do have different ideal customers for my variety of items. Some qualities my customers may have: 
  • New and Expecting moms that like the current bow trend
  • Friends and Family buying gifts for little girls.
  • Ages of the children may vary as bows can be worn for many years.
  • A person who wants to buy a one of a kind hand made gift that can be handed down.
Right now my most popular items are:
  • Sports hats
  • Sports bows
  • Butterfly/Bee clips
 New Items I am considering for holiday season:
  •  Holiday themed hats (candy cane, santa, jingle bells)
  • Holiday themed bows (round, bowtie, etc.)
  • Christmas colored tutus with matching bows
  • Packages with multiple items
