I am just breaking into the print on demand side of etsy, my main focus has been my 3D printing. With every order that I box up, I have a small thank you flyer with QR code for 10% off next order. This little method has generated a bunch of good reviews.
I am going to become the review master, thank you Heather for all your videos. Is the shipping included on printify, or does that come out of your profit ? TY
I’m going to become the review master if I ever get my shop open. 😊Our shop is suspended from Etsy and we haven’t listed anything.🤦♀️ Enjoyed your video.
When I first started my store I asked my friends and family what shirts they wanted and designed things specifically for them and listed them, then gave them personal discount codes and they left reviews for me. Surprisingly, the designs they wanted turned out to be designs other people wanted too and it grew from there. Hope this helps. 💕
Hi Heather.. I have an Etsy Ads question and would really appreciate your response. At what point, in terms of views and clicks, should I turn off Etsy Ads for a listing if it hasn't resulted in any sales? I currently have my Ads turned on for all of my 510 listings on my POD store since last 3 months with budget of $500/ day wherein my budget usage never crosses more than $35 per day. I have 119 sales so far.
Hey Heather! How did you send the auto message through Etsy for returning customers? I tried to find where you went to set that up but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks
I’m going to become a review MASTER!! Right after I figure out understanding shipping rates. Heather, can you PLEASE help me understand how shipping works…. How/who pays. When I’m filling out my variants, I see the cost of shipping…. Do I add that to my retail price? Do I absorb that? Please help me understand, I’m so lost. 😢
Thanks for watching! ❤ With shipping if you have it set to 'free shipping' on your Etsy shop, you as the seller pays. If it's not free shipping, you're customer will pay(but you still pay Printify to ship out to the customer). Hopefully this makes sense and helps! :)
@@itsheatherstudio thank you. I did find a video on Printify that helped too. I REALLY appreciate you and all your videos, you’re my goto source for this monster I’ve created😉
Very true people who have never been CS trained that it's what can you do, not what you can't do! Customers love it! I've said no by saying this is what I can do with options!
Great video. The more videos I watched on sales on Etsy the more I see it’s a pay to win. But I guess you got to spend money to make money. Great video thanks
Thank you heather for your videos, but I have a question; I’ve seen stores selling tshirts for $8 dls with a discount of X%. So how much somebody will price their shirt if somebody is selling theirs for that lower price.
If you click into the listings most of the time these shops are doing a loss leader method where they have a toddler or baby onesie at $8. Most of those listings at the sweatshirt or t-shirt price are usually around $15 to $20 in inspecting the listings. I would research into the average market price of the t-shirts only- not the lowest price that other sellers have if that makes any sense. You do not need to sell under $8 to compete or use the price staggering method talked about in this video. I would still sell a BC at the lower end(around $15 per t-shirt) and then increase as my reviews increase. Hoepfully this makes sense and thanks for watching! ❤
I get that this works for digital products, but for products that have real ingredients, it's not really possible to lower the cost, without loosing money. For instance, I make mostly organic, vegan skin and hair care, the price of the ingredients, such as olive oil, have increased so much, I am actually selling for just the cost of making. Never mind getting paid for the producing of the items. Is this something you would cover in a video?
So, which Printify Production partner in your opinion has the actual best time for printing and then shipping? Actual not what they say, excluding Christmas
Monster Digital has always been the most reliable and consistent. I've used plenty of the POD providers(over 20+) and have stuck to MD and SwiftPOD. I think all are great though and there's a lot of newer print providers that are just as good. I've just always used those two since the beginning of my own shop but I've heard great reviews for over providers. The ratings on Printify are pretty accurate so it's good to look through those as well. Thanks for watching! ❤
I have had an issue getting reviews from people who don’t have Etsy account . It says you can only leave a review if you have an Etsy account . Is there a work around??
So I had a customer who gave me a 3 star review after her package was lost during the holidays. I gave her a refund but didn’t cancel the order. Can you clarify; should I have refunded AND cancel the order in order to prevent a review? Thanks in advance!
Honestly if someone comes to you with a request for a refund, give it to them but don't just refund them. Cancel the order instead, that will usually auto-refund them at the same time AND etsy will refund your fees to you. Cancelling doesn't stop them leaving a review but the ability to do so is only for 48 hours after cancellation. Reviews are great to have, but if they had a bad experience, it's highly likely they'll leave a bad one, and that's worse than no review at all. The trade-off is that Etsy now sees you as a seller who is quick to keep a customer happy and that's great for your Customer Experience metrics. If you do get a 3 or lower, just reply with polite understanding and mention how quick you were to resolve it. It is at least a chance for you to show how committed you are to customer satisfaction.
@@penelopesparrow Thank you so much! Noted on the cancel vs refund; was not aware of how that worked. And yes, I did address the review and did the “working to improve” thing even though it was USPS not me! But anywho, thanks you so much! 😊
You shouldn't be paying for returns. Tell them to file an Etsy protection program report. Etsy will pay for the return as long as the customer pays shipping.
@@naylak5718 the buyer should be paying for the return shipping yes, but there's only a *very* slim chance Etsy will cover the refund at all. You have to go through several hoops to be eligible for that protection as a seller, many do not qualify. You can't even really require that the buyer send something back, since they can just open a case anyway and get refunded entirely without returning the product, especially if your store policies say 'returns not accepted'. Offering good customer service and cancel/refunding means you have a chance of getting your stuff back and you're refunded your fees. Never ask a customer to file a claim for a refund. Not only will that go on your record as having a case opened but the customer will feel like it was a fight to get their money back and they can leave a vindictive review.
Really nice video! i was wondering if i could help you edit your videos and make them more engaging as well as it will save your time And yes i can give you gurented results.🦄
I thought Etsy's no longer allowed third-party access to customers' email. Is Everbee's post purchase email is still an option???
This is what I understand as well....since Feb 5, I believe.
Yes, collecting people's email addresses without prior consent is illegal.
You can get banned for that if it gets reported...
I am going to become the review master! I just have to get my shop open. Thank you for all of your helpful videos. 🤗
Thank you for this lesson, Heather! Can you show us how do we make returns for unsatisfied customers?

Can confirm that the message card insert seems to be working to get reviews! I've noticed a pretty exciting increase in reviews since including that!
I am going to become the review master !!
I don't have any reviews yet 😢 had one purchase so far ❤
When I first started my store I asked my friends and family what shirts they wanted and designed things specifically for them and listed them, then gave them personal discount codes and they left reviews for me. Surprisingly, the designs they wanted turned out to be designs other people wanted too and it grew from there. Hope this helps. 💕
I am going to become a review master, I already have a few five star reviews but I could use more.
Hey Heather, Do you only use Printify as your production partner?
Thank you, Heather! I'm going to become the review master! I love the idea of including inserts and am going to get on that right away. :)
Thanks for watching and happy to hear you're going to try this strategy! ❤
