Hi Cassiy! I just have to say that in addition to all of the extremely valuable information you give...I truly appreciate all of your words of encouragement. Even though you are not speaking directly to me personally, it honestly does help me to hear them. I struggle with self-doubt and getting overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done, but when I watch your videos...they give me a little boost in confidence and motivation. Today I FINALLY filled out my about section, member section and shop announcement, which is more than I've done in days...I'm ashamed to say. And this is in part because I watched some of your videos and took your kind words to heart. So thank you, thank you, thank you...from the bottom of my heart! I wish you and your family all the best, you deserve it! ❤🥰 And to any viewers who may read this...I wish you the best in your journey to success as well! 😁
Cassiy is the best! I did a 1:1 call with her and it was so inspiring! My recent "small wins" were getting past 100 sales right before black friday! Also I now have some items that say "20 in the cart"!! So happy!! I love the pep talks at the end of this! Some days I really need it 😅
@@hannaharmstrong9773 so I just looked back at an older video to see if the coaching call was still there, but it looks like she's not! But it looks like she's working on a course!
I don't comment on videos often, but I just HAVE to tell you how awesome you are, Cassiy. Your presentation, your information, your energy. Thank you! I mean that sincerely! I always feel so pumped after your videos. I wish you the greatest success in your future. You're a rockstar 💪🏼💪🏼
I started my shop Oct 1st thanx to help from ur channel. I ran a 20% off sale from Black Fri- Cyber Mon. Just before the sale ended Monday night I got my first organic sale.. Thank u for being so open
Mabel and her mom Nicole here. We have been watching a ton of your videos and took the plunge! We opened our store last week and have been hard at work. Thank you so much for the very detailed How To’s! And thx for the tip on the discounts not stacking, we need to go update a sale right now lol. Can’t wait for next week.
I ran a sale for Black Friday, then one for Cyber Monday. Just a trickle and lot lower sales than I had expected. Consistency in sales is HUGE. October was pretty good, but this month a lot lower.
Sales and coupons are a lot like pouring gasoline on a fire that's already burning, they really only make a difference if there already was a fire if that makes sense. If you weren't selling a ton before running them, then they probably won't make a big difference. You may not have prepared well enough for what actually sells during November. The types of things that sell really well are couples matching shirts, family matching shirts, couples matching Christmas sweaters, and ugly Christmas sweaters. I typically recommend having a few hundred Christmas designs in your shop for this time of year in lots of different random niches that you have seen bestsellers in like Science, Sports, Animals, Specific Destinations etc. Because you never know which designs are going to take off and be your bestsellers for the year. Now I'd be focussing on what holidays and events are coming up 8-12 weeks from now and designing for those, it really pays to be early to things!
@@CassiyJohnson thanks so much for the advice. When you recommend a few hundred Christmas designs, do you mean 200 individually unique designs? Would you take a single design and create an individual listing for a black tee, white tee, etc? This is the first year I've really added POD so I'm still learning :)
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I’m at 65 sales because of your channel! Constantly working for more but that was a good reminder to slow down and appreciate. First of august I didn’t have any!
I was just thinking about having a favorite discount. I’m new to Etsy and have sold 40 plus items and have a lot of favorite notifications. This was very helpful and will make a favorite discount to hopefully convert more sales.
just want to make your days I did all the above before u even aske like subscribed and now leaving a comment I appreciate you, that small comment and your sincere attitude you made towards the end put a smile on my face plus added motivation. ty
Thank you Cassiy! This answered my questions about offering promo codes while having a sale. I wish Etsy explained this clearly. You have been very encouraging and helpful! Blessings of prosperity on your business this year!
Thank you so much Cassiy! Once again, after watching your video I'm leaving with a new perspective on a concept that I thought I already had a solid grasp on. The idea of running sales, promo codes, and sending emails, in order to increase organic sales for my listings and boost the algorithm (vs. just gaining short-term boosts in revenue during the sale) is a huge lightbulb moment for me. So excited to put this into action. Thanks again!
Hi Cassiy, thank you again for this video tip. I actually got a boost in sales when deploying 24-48 hrs coupons periodically throughout the month. The sense of urgency showed.
You are so kind for giving encouragement. It can be difficult when you compare yourself to others (and not just on Etsy)! LOL!! Keep up the great work! Thank you!
Thank you for the great information! I'm new to Etsy and it helps so much to have all of this broken down so that I can put my best foot forward and be successful! ❤
I appreciate the tip on changing the coupon code names. Changed mine right away. Haven't had anyone use them yet. Had sales going and got an infringement on something that hadn't sold. Took down all the ones that were similar so basically starting over. Then Etsy put a reserve on the money in my account. This happened Black Friday, of course. Took a little break and getting back to it. Thanks for the video.
That's a bummer for sure! Good on you for just making the change and moving on. There are plenty of things in this business that will feel like setbacks because there is so much to learn but just keep moving forward and trying new things until you find what works for you
Thank You for your very informative videos Cassie! I greatly appreciate the information. I am just getting started with my business, a little nervous but taking it one step at a time.
I follow all of your videos and everything you say to do but still no sales... A little discouraging but I'm going to keep pushing! Thank you for all of your help Cassiy, I'd be lost without your videos!
I love your videos! Thank you so much for helping me build up my Etsy shop that I just started this month. I've been watching your videos for months and finally thanks to you for helping me to step out in faith and just go for it, I'm doing all the things that you have suggested and I'm getting more and more confident about my designs and working hard on my research before I did my launch. I'm still learning but I'm also doing what you suggested and I'm having so much fun! I'll make sure to let you know how my progress goes. Love you,
Cassiy you are SUCH...SUCH an awesome teacher, step by step, demonstrating along with side tips you found out personally..thank you SO very much not just for this video(which I was really trying to figure out) but your channel in general. You're awesome FULL of HELP IN EVERY ONE! Btw though, it's Esty that "automatically" sends the coupons that are you set up to all/each your buyers emails correct? and favoritors too correct?..or do YOU have to email the coupons yourself in a mailing list you collect? where does collecting those emails from your buyers come in too? Love to you!
I really appreciate that! I am working on it now and hoping to release it mid-late January! Will definitely be posting details about the launch here on my channel when it's ready. Thanks for your support!
Thanks Cassiy! Do you have a video about pricing your shirts and sweatshirts, regarding colors and sizes? If not, could you please make one 🙏 Blessings 💞
I just made my first sale and I’m very excited! But I just looked at the finances and discovered after taxes and fees I lost money! Not sure what I need to do besides raising my prices. I feel like they’re already to high! Thank you for your channel.
Definitely raise your prices or charge more for shipping if you are losing money. Your competition has to be making money somehow as well so I’d do more research in what your competitors are charging. Actually go into their listing and look at the variations and the shipping charges to see what their total prices out the door are for their items. Never be afraid to make a profit and charge what you need to to make money!
@@CassiyJohnson I've done some of that and many people are charging very low prices with higher shipping costs, but still less than me. I'm doing Shirts at $19.50 but they cost me 12.95. Ugh. I will look some more. Thanks so much for responding. I'm freaking out a bit...lol. I also just found out my sale came from an outside ad which I knew nothing about, so I was charged $3.77. Should I opt out of those.? I didn’t know that was happening.
Can you please also do a video on budgeting? How would you record expenses & profits, and what expenses & profits are important to record? What‘s important for us to always keep track of, in order to make taxes less stressful? I know that you’re offering calculator worksheets, but it would help if you could do a video on how to use these things. I would love a breakdown of this topic, and any tips to make the process less frustrating. Thank you 🙏🏻
I've got two videos for you, here is my taxes video where I go into what to expect at tax time and what you can write off etc. ruclips.net/video/MgcUzg_L8Z8/видео.html Here is the full walkthrough of how I use that income/expense report and what I use it for! ruclips.net/video/M_0xRgnhYro/видео.html
As usual you make my day! What wonderful information. You have such a great attitude. Thank you for sharing your experience. You are such a joy to watch. I wish you a very Happy Holiday Season! Thank you for being you. I always give a like and I am subscribed with notifications 🥰
Hi, Cassiy! Can you do a video on Etsy sales and why you cannot run a sale all the time? I can’t find that information online anywhere but I want to be sure I’m following all the rules! Thank you!
Thanks for all your videos Cassiy. You have been instrumental in helping me learn all about POD. Question - can I use you income/expense report for my Canadian based Etsy shop? Thank you
Hi Cassidy, Such a blessing to know you and your channel. I started my Etsy Shop last week thanks to your Inspiration. Your videos are so easy to understand without intimidation. I wish you all the best and gain more and more happiness in your life. If you have time could you please do us a favour? I'm still try to figure out how to sell POD internationally, particularly I'm living in Australia, I want to sell both here and US, but don't know how to do it since shipping from Us to Aus is too pricey, plus currency confusion. Much appreciated and stay safe and healty. Love from Sydney ^^
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for all of the work that you put into these videos and bring them to use. I have 2 questions bc I can't remember the video in which you already answered them. 1. Do I raise my prices in Printify and then create a sale on Etsy for the T-shirts and sweatshirts? 2. When I look on Printify for the shipping cost, I do not see it so I do not remember how to do the shipping prices when they as for it on Etsy. Extra question. I purchased your Profit calculator, when I add cost and prices for is a $8.00 low profit for a 36.00 sweatshirt. Suggestions from the community are helpful as well.
My shop is less than 2 months old and only has 3 sales so far. What is your opinion of having friends and family buy (assuming they are willing to) to boost the conversion rate and also leaving positive reviews. I personally havent mentioned my shop to anyone I know personally yet because Ive wanted to make sure I could get others to buy my designs. Also with a newer shop, did you wait for customers to leave a review or did you send an email and kindly ask if they could leave one?
Is there a way to edit or delete sales? If you consistently run 48 hour sales, do you have to keep using a unique name for each one, and do they still appear in your stats forever? This seems like unbelievable clutter for what I believe is a pretty popular strategy for many sellers. Thanks Cassiy.
I have discounts setup for the thank you, come back,and fav. I have people in these categories but no emails have been sent? What am I doing wrong? Love your content!! Thanks!,
You may not have had them set up long enough by chance? Here are a few of the rules around these coupons * Buyers only get sent these emails once or twice a week, so as not to seem spammy. * Only items added to carts, or favourited after the campaign commences are included. * Cart items must have been in the cart for at least 48 hours before they can be included in an email. * Favorites must have been added at least 24 hours before an email is sent. * Most importantly, only buyers who have opted in to receiving Etsy Promotional Emails will actually get an email.
Thnx Cassiy, i watched your tutorials over and over, and got everything rdy to start my store, now im just waiting for my bank to send over my business bank account card over and some other legal stuff so probably gotta wait for like 7 more workdays before i can Actually start, kind of a pain in the ass tho haha xDD
It's a pain to get started in the beginning but take this time to be doing research and making designs, that way when your shop opens, you are ready to roll!
Thanks Cassiy your videos are always so helpful! I have a question though... if you adjust your abandon cart while a sale is on, what happens when sale ends? if you change code back to original amount do the customers that received the email while sale was on still get the higher discount they are expecting or does it only allow them to get the amended lower rate because you changed it back after sale? Hope that makes sense....
If you sent someone a coupon for a larger amount and now you want to change it, you can deactivate that coupon so they can no longer use it. But you can't go ahead and send them another one if that makes sense, it's all automatic.
Thank you for this great video! The only issue I have is that I am setting my discount at 10% on certain items, and when I confirm and activate it, my 10% discount changes to 20% for some reason!! Please advise. Thanks so much!
Of the best channel! I am learning so much. Do you recommend having multiple Etsy shops for very different niches? Right now my store is a mishmash of all different kinds of things, and a few people have suggested having different Etsy shops, but now that I have done all this work, almost 100 listings, what do I do?? Can you make a video on something like this?
Hi Cassie, when someone uses a coupon code I give them - such as with email marketing, can they reuse that same code over and over or is it a one time code?
New Etsy Shop here, Thank you for the video Cassiy. I have a question. As you mentioned on abandoned carts the discount doesn't accumulate but this also applies to Favoried items as well? If I run a sale for 25% on my entire shop and send a discount offer for 20% to people who favorited my items, will they get a 45% off total of 45% off? Thank you so much :)
Hey Cassiy! You mentioned the Thank You, Abandon, and Fave coupons don't stack but what happens if someone uses the Fave coupon and goes to the cart, but then abandons the cart. I'm assuming they'll also receive the Abandon coupon, yes? But knowing they don't stack, which takes precedence? I'm assuming that if I send a customer 10% off and I'm having a sale that's higher, that the higher discount takes priority and they won't get an additional 10%, yes? But let's say I'm running a 20% sale (or even no sale) and I have 25% coupons for both Abandon and Fave. How does Etsy handle this; which gets priority? Thank you!
heyy so i just set up my first etsy store and thing are going great so far with it. one of my listings is some stickers which i've priced at £2.50 each. there's 5 different variations of stickers and i'm interested in putting a discount on a full set of the stickers. since the stickers are £2.50 each i was thinking of making a full set of them for £10 (which i believe would be 20% off) do you know how i could go about applying that discount to just the full set of stickers on that one specific listing
Hi, thank you for your videos, I have a question, most sellers offer discount , which is visible on listings when customer search for items to buy, but here is the problem, if I setup discount for previous shoppers or for abandoned carts, this will not work because etsy allows just one discount code. I have discount + free shipping, guess I can not use any of strategies etsy is pushing us to setup. Any solutions?
What is the biggest coupon code you can give? I know Etsy won’t allow 100 pct off…what are your thoughts on this strategy with a new store. I was going to have friends and family buy to get some sales to help traffic? Thoughts?
Hi Cassiy, I can’t figure out how to run a sale on only one listing. I’m fairly new to Etsy and got a “Best Seller” badge on a listing but I want to lower the percentage sale on that specific listing but I can’t find a way to just run a separate percentage rate on that specific listing 😢
I would recommend just changing the price on it because you would have to have it in it's own category on Etsy to be able to do that I think and it would be a pain, so just changing the price a little on that one I think would be the easiest option! Congrats on your bestseller as well!!
I have a question. Anyone can please enlighten me.Lets say we hav a print on demand product from printify ' Monster Digital' do i have to put printify location to that product or monster digital location ? Do we always have to put every single providers location ? or just printify location is enough ? Any tips abour listing please . how does it work ? thank you :)
You can just make one Printify location for your production partner, but I like the put the location of my most used production partner on Etsy. So you can google where Monster Digital is located for example and use their location if you use them the most.
Hi Cassiy! Thanks again for all your helpful information. 🙂 Quick question for you: What are your thoughts on the concept of the customer spending $35.00 or more and getting free shipping? I feel like it's hurting me. I honestly haven't made that many sales so it's tough to really know. I'd love to know your thoughts. Thank you!
so if youre already running a lets say 20% off sale and you also offer an abandoned cart coupon for 20%, the customer takes advantage of both, so theyre now getting 40% off or 20 and another 20? that really adds up.
No they do not stack on top of each other, they would only get the 20% off sale. So if you want to have a couple that gives more of a discount, then you would need to run a 25% off sale. Here is the moment where I answer that question in this video if you want more info! ruclips.net/video/gYvYSvPec4g/видео.html
Very helpful video! One question: Do we have to manually renew a sale when it ends? Or is there a setting somewhere that will automatically do that, either in the desktop or the mobile site/app?
Hello Cassiy, this is an awesome video, and it might help me since my store is new, but do I have to manually change the prices on Printify because I don't see that the sales sync with my account in anyway? Thank you!
You only need to update your pricing within Etsy! You are correct, Etsy charges the customers and then Printify charges you the cost of the item and shipping. Printify's price and Etsy's price for the item do not need to match!
If you are offering a sale, and then Etsy send off a coupon for liking or having item in their carts, do the discccount of the sale and the coupon stack on each other?
The coupons don't stack, they get whichever coupon is better! So you want to make your abandon cart coupons and thank you coupons like 5% more than whatever sale you normally run in your store
If you run a sale does that affect the coupons (favorited, in the cart, etc.) that you already have? Will the customers get double discounts with the sale and the coupon? Would I have to turn off the coupons during the sale? Thanks!
Hey Cassiy, thanks for the information. I have made about $600 in sales on etsy. Problem is, none of that money is coming to me. Between the costs of the shirt on printify, etsy fees, and paying for adds, I have actually paid to sell on etsy. It is very frustrating. I assume I need to up my prices but I figured $20 for a shirt is a good price. Even if I charged $25 per shirt, I am still not really making any money. I have my prices set at between 30-40% profit in printify. If I stop the ads, I will make more money, but won't draw people to my shop like I do with the ads. My ads are set at $10 per day. I should add I am running the 20% off ad etsy requires to be part of their Christmas sales campaign. Are you really making any money?
Hi, same problem here....also I am in Europe, so if I choose printify the delivery time is about 1.5 months, so nobody will buy from me. Then I had to choose printful. The delivery time is ok, but is much more expensive. And if you count all the Etsy and printful fees, plus VAT, adds, and so on like you say, I end up paying to post the products. I will try for some more months to see if I find some more tricks and if this is not going well after valentine's I will give up. I am concluding all this people that make videos here in RUclips earn the money here in RUclips, not from POD.....😔
@@simonedinizdesign Is there a POD company local in your country that would be cheaper to work with? I would research that. I cannot begin to imagine how much it must cost you to sell shirts and ship overseas.
I had my 100th sale today and I'm so excited!! Thanks, Cassiy, for being an inspiration and for all your valuable videos
Wow what a huge milestone!! Congratulations on your 100th sale, you should seriously be so proud
@@CassiyJohnson wow Cassie you had a 100 sales in 8 weeks? I've only had about 30. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks Cassiy! Do you have a video about pricing your shirts and sweatshirts, regarding colors and sizes? If not, could you please make one 🙏
Blessings 💞
I do have a video for you, here is a link
@@CassiyJohnson thank you so much 😘
Loved this video. This was a great help thank you ..very sincere.
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for creating this video. It was extremely informative :)
I just made my first sale and I’m very excited! But I just looked at the finances and discovered after taxes and fees I lost money! Not sure what I need to do besides raising my prices. I feel like they’re already to high! Thank you for your channel.
Definitely raise your prices or charge more for shipping if you are losing money. Your competition has to be making money somehow as well so I’d do more research in what your competitors are charging. Actually go into their listing and look at the variations and the shipping charges to see what their total prices out the door are for their items. Never be afraid to make a profit and charge what you need to to make money!
@@CassiyJohnson I've done some of that and many people are charging very low prices with higher shipping costs, but still less than me. I'm doing Shirts at $19.50 but they cost me 12.95. Ugh. I will look some more. Thanks so much for responding. I'm freaking out a bit...lol. I also just found out my sale came from an outside ad which I knew nothing about, so I was charged $3.77. Should I opt out of those.? I didn’t know that was happening.
Can you please also do a video on budgeting? How would you record expenses & profits, and what expenses & profits are important to record? What‘s important for us to always keep track of, in order to make taxes less stressful? I know that you’re offering calculator worksheets, but it would help if you could do a video on how to use these things. I would love a breakdown of this topic, and any tips to make the process less frustrating.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I've got two videos for you, here is my taxes video where I go into what to expect at tax time and what you can write off etc. ruclips.net/video/MgcUzg_L8Z8/видео.html
Here is the full walkthrough of how I use that income/expense report and what I use it for! ruclips.net/video/M_0xRgnhYro/видео.html
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you for the links. I will check them out :)
As usual you make my day! What wonderful information. You have such a great attitude. Thank you for sharing your experience. You are such a joy to watch. I wish you a very Happy Holiday Season! Thank you for being you. I always give a like and I am subscribed with notifications 🥰
Thank you, Cassiy, your videos are a great help!
Just what I needed to hear. Thank you for your encouragement! 🙂
Always informative, always valuable information. Thank you!
Hi, Cassiy! Can you do a video on Etsy sales and why you cannot run a sale all the time? I can’t find that information online anywhere but I want to be sure I’m following all the rules! Thank you!
Another awsome video! Thank you Cassiy! 🥰 kisses from Brazil😘
Extremely helpful video. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Thanks so much for watching!!
Thanks a lot! Your vlogs are really super valuable 👍🏻
Thanks for all your videos Cassiy. You have been instrumental in helping me learn all about POD. Question - can I use you income/expense report for my Canadian based Etsy shop? Thank you
I really enjoyed your video, thanks for all this valuable information.
Hi Cassidy, Such a blessing to know you and your channel. I started my Etsy Shop last week thanks to your Inspiration. Your videos are so easy to understand without intimidation. I wish you all the best and gain more and more happiness in your life. If you have time could you please do us a favour? I'm still try to figure out how to sell POD internationally, particularly I'm living in Australia, I want to sell both here and US, but don't know how to do it since shipping from Us to Aus is too pricey, plus currency confusion. Much appreciated and stay safe and healty. Love from Sydney ^^
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for all of the work that you put into these videos and bring them to use. I have 2 questions bc I can't remember the video in which you already answered them.
1. Do I raise my prices in Printify and then create a sale on Etsy for the T-shirts and sweatshirts?
2. When I look on Printify for the shipping cost, I do not see it so I do not remember how to do the shipping prices when they as for it on Etsy.
Extra question. I purchased your Profit calculator, when I add cost and prices for is a $8.00 low profit for a 36.00 sweatshirt.
Suggestions from the community are helpful as well.
thank you for your encouragement
You are so welcome, glad I can help in any way I can!
My shop is less than 2 months old and only has 3 sales so far. What is your opinion of having friends and family buy (assuming they are willing to) to boost the conversion rate and also leaving positive reviews. I personally havent mentioned my shop to anyone I know personally yet because Ive wanted to make sure I could get others to buy my designs. Also with a newer shop, did you wait for customers to leave a review or did you send an email and kindly ask if they could leave one?
Is there a way to edit or delete sales? If you consistently run 48 hour sales, do you have to keep using a unique name for each one, and do they still appear in your stats forever? This seems like unbelievable clutter for what I believe is a pretty popular strategy for many sellers. Thanks Cassiy.
Love all your videos!
Thank you so much for this awesome video! New subscriber!
I have discounts setup for the thank you, come back,and fav. I have people in these categories but no emails have been sent? What am I doing wrong? Love your content!! Thanks!,
You may not have had them set up long enough by chance? Here are a few of the rules around these coupons
* Buyers only get sent these emails once or twice a week, so as not to seem spammy.
* Only items added to carts, or favourited after the campaign commences are included.
* Cart items must have been in the cart for at least 48 hours before they can be included in an email.
* Favorites must have been added at least 24 hours before an email is sent.
* Most importantly, only buyers who have opted in to receiving Etsy Promotional Emails will actually get an email.
Do you offer one on one coaching or shop reviews?
Hi Cassie Thank you so much another great video.Bless you for doing such great work.Can you tell how to customize phone case really appreciate it.
Thnx Cassiy, i watched your tutorials over and over, and got everything rdy to start my store, now im just waiting for my bank to send over my business bank account card over and some other legal stuff so probably gotta wait for like 7 more workdays before i can Actually start, kind of a pain in the ass tho haha xDD
It's a pain to get started in the beginning but take this time to be doing research and making designs, that way when your shop opens, you are ready to roll!
Thanks Cassiy your videos are always so helpful! I have a question though... if you adjust your abandon cart while a sale is on, what happens when sale ends? if you change code back to original amount do the customers that received the email while sale was on still get the higher discount they are expecting or does it only allow them to get the amended lower rate because you changed it back after sale? Hope that makes sense....
If you sent someone a coupon for a larger amount and now you want to change it, you can deactivate that coupon so they can no longer use it. But you can't go ahead and send them another one if that makes sense, it's all automatic.
Thank you for this great video! The only issue I have is that I am setting my discount at 10% on certain items, and when I confirm and activate it, my 10% discount changes to 20% for some reason!! Please advise. Thanks so much!
So helpful! Cassiy! When are you going back to doing reviews? Desperately need some help 😢
Of the best channel! I am learning so much. Do you recommend having multiple Etsy shops for very different niches? Right now my store is a mishmash of all different kinds of things, and a few people have suggested having different Etsy shops, but now that I have done all this work, almost 100 listings, what do I do?? Can you make a video on something like this?
Hi Cassie, when someone uses a coupon code I give them - such as with email marketing, can they reuse that same code over and over or is it a one time code?
I have the same question!
New Etsy Shop here, Thank you for the video Cassiy. I have a question. As you mentioned on abandoned carts the discount doesn't accumulate but this also applies to Favoried items as well? If I run a sale for 25% on my entire shop and send a discount offer for 20% to people who favorited my items, will they get a 45% off total of 45% off? Thank you so much :)
Hey Cassiy! You mentioned the Thank You, Abandon, and Fave coupons don't stack but what happens if someone uses the Fave coupon and goes to the cart, but then abandons the cart. I'm assuming they'll also receive the Abandon coupon, yes? But knowing they don't stack, which takes precedence?
I'm assuming that if I send a customer 10% off and I'm having a sale that's higher, that the higher discount takes priority and they won't get an additional 10%, yes? But let's say I'm running a 20% sale (or even no sale) and I have 25% coupons for both Abandon and Fave. How does Etsy handle this; which gets priority?
Thank you!
Whichever the percentage discount that is more will get priority, none of them ever stack!
Can you keep sales forever as a marketing strategy? Or does etsy penalizes you?
heyy so i just set up my first etsy store and thing are going great so far with it. one of my listings is some stickers which i've priced at £2.50 each. there's 5 different variations of stickers and i'm interested in putting a discount on a full set of the stickers. since the stickers are £2.50 each i was thinking of making a full set of them for £10 (which i believe would be 20% off) do you know how i could go about applying that discount to just the full set of stickers on that one specific listing
Thank you 😊
Hi, thank you for your videos, I have a question, most sellers offer discount , which is visible on listings when customer search for items to buy, but here is the problem, if I setup discount for previous shoppers or for abandoned carts, this will not work because etsy allows just one discount code. I have discount + free shipping, guess I can not use any of strategies etsy is pushing us to setup. Any solutions?
What is the biggest coupon code you can give? I know Etsy won’t allow 100 pct off…what are your thoughts on this strategy with a new store. I was going to have friends and family buy to get some sales to help traffic? Thoughts?
Hi Cassiy, I can’t figure out how to run a sale on only one listing. I’m fairly new to Etsy and got a “Best Seller” badge on a listing but I want to lower the percentage sale on that specific listing but I can’t find a way to just run a separate percentage rate on that specific listing 😢
I would recommend just changing the price on it because you would have to have it in it's own category on Etsy to be able to do that I think and it would be a pain, so just changing the price a little on that one I think would be the easiest option! Congrats on your bestseller as well!!
When giving a discount do you set your price higher so you can make a profit or do you leave it as a regular price and add you discount
I have a question. Anyone can please enlighten me.Lets say we hav a print on demand product from printify ' Monster Digital' do i have to put printify location to that product or monster digital location ? Do we always have to put every single providers location ? or just printify location is enough ? Any tips abour listing please . how does it work ? thank you :)
You can just make one Printify location for your production partner, but I like the put the location of my most used production partner on Etsy. So you can google where Monster Digital is located for example and use their location if you use them the most.
@@CassiyJohnson Ohh thank you Cassiy i ll definityl do that ☺️✨🙏
Well done ❤️
Hi Cassiy! Thanks again for all your helpful information. 🙂 Quick question for you: What are your thoughts on the concept of the customer spending $35.00 or more and getting free shipping? I feel like it's hurting me. I honestly haven't made that many sales so it's tough to really know. I'd love to know your thoughts. Thank you!
so if youre already running a lets say 20% off sale and you also offer an abandoned cart coupon for 20%, the customer takes advantage of both, so theyre now getting 40% off or 20 and another 20? that really adds up.
No they do not stack on top of each other, they would only get the 20% off sale. So if you want to have a couple that gives more of a discount, then you would need to run a 25% off sale. Here is the moment where I answer that question in this video if you want more info! ruclips.net/video/gYvYSvPec4g/видео.html
@@CassiyJohnson Thanks Cassiy, appreciate you!
Very helpful video! One question: Do we have to manually renew a sale when it ends? Or is there a setting somewhere that will automatically do that, either in the desktop or the mobile site/app?
Can you sell digital products and physical products on the same Etsy shop?
Do you have the sale profit calculator you showed in this video available?
Yes I do have it available, it's actually available on my website Cassiyjohnson.com
Hello Cassiy, this is an awesome video, and it might help me since my store is new, but do I have to manually change the prices on Printify because I don't see that the sales sync with my account in anyway? Thank you!
or does it no matter because Etsy charges customer and printify charges me?
You only need to update your pricing within Etsy! You are correct, Etsy charges the customers and then Printify charges you the cost of the item and shipping. Printify's price and Etsy's price for the item do not need to match!
I tried running a daily sale recently everyday for a week and Etsy has never shown a timer on it for me. Do they no longer do it?
Hi cassiy, i only find discounts starting 25% is it because my account is new or did Etsy change the percentages?
Thank you! 💜✨
Okay i just found out that you can custom the percentage ✨
If you are offering a sale, and then Etsy send off a coupon for liking or having item in their carts, do the discccount of the sale and the coupon stack on each other?
The coupons don't stack, they get whichever coupon is better! So you want to make your abandon cart coupons and thank you coupons like 5% more than whatever sale you normally run in your store
Hey Cassiy, are you doing TikTok or instagram promotion of your Etsy store. Do you think it is a good idea?
thank youuu
You are so welcome, hope it helped!!
Cassidy, What about using a fixed amount discount of 5£, Will it stack up on top of my 20% off sale?
If you run a sale does that affect the coupons (favorited, in the cart, etc.) that you already have? Will the customers get double discounts with the sale and the coupon? Would I have to turn off the coupons during the sale? Thanks!
Ok I found the answer in your video. The coupons don't stack on top of the sale you're running. That was very helpful. Thanks Cassiy!
How many listings do you have for your main shop? Also how many listings did you add in your first year?
Thanks you for the information really i appriecet it
Hey Cassiy, thanks for the information. I have made about $600 in sales on etsy. Problem is, none of that money is coming to me. Between the costs of the shirt on printify, etsy fees, and paying for adds, I have actually paid to sell on etsy. It is very frustrating. I assume I need to up my prices but I figured $20 for a shirt is a good price. Even if I charged $25 per shirt, I am still not really making any money. I have my prices set at between 30-40% profit in printify. If I stop the ads, I will make more money, but won't draw people to my shop like I do with the ads. My ads are set at $10 per day. I should add I am running the 20% off ad etsy requires to be part of their Christmas sales campaign. Are you really making any money?
Hi, same problem here....also I am in Europe, so if I choose printify the delivery time is about 1.5 months, so nobody will buy from me. Then I had to choose printful. The delivery time is ok, but is much more expensive. And if you count all the Etsy and printful fees, plus VAT, adds, and so on like you say, I end up paying to post the products. I will try for some more months to see if I find some more tricks and if this is not going well after valentine's I will give up. I am concluding all this people that make videos here in RUclips earn the money here in RUclips, not from POD.....😔
@@simonedinizdesign Is there a POD company local in your country that would be cheaper to work with? I would research that. I cannot begin to imagine how much it must cost you to sell shirts and ship overseas.
Hello.if I set a promo code with an endless date. Can I modify it? or replace it with another one? :S
