Potti Team Sellers Share Success Secrets: 
#10 Char

 The Potti Team Blog             

For the new Etsy seller, the sheer number of sales some established shop owners have achieved can be astonishing.  After a month or two, the new shop owner may feel those numbers are downright impossible for herself or himself! In this series, I have ranked our top Potti Team sellers by the number of sales alone, and beginning with number ten, they will share the secrets, tips or priorities that have helped them sell their products, and establish their stores during their time on Etsy.

#10 is Char of CharsFavoriteThings!  Char would rank higher than tenth place if we were to rank these shop owners by actual profit, and she has advice worth hearing!

Char sells assemblage jewelry, which she explains is made by bringing different components like stampings, beads, chains, and other findings together to make one piece of jewelry.

She is obviously very happy with her shop, because she wants all of her friends "to sell online and quit their day jobs!"



Her secret?  Char says, "I always try to treat people the way I want to be treated.  Once they have put faith in my product by making a purchase I try to make it a really good experience for them, from cute wrapping, to quality products and customer service."

When asked her greatest strength in the operation of her shop, Char responded, "Customer service and organization."

Char's approach to selling has incorporated "reading all the good information available. Going to the forums and learning from seasoned sellers and team members.  Looking at what seems to work for others and incorporating it into a style that works for me and my shop."
When asked what advice she would give a new Etsy seller, Char says, "Listen to people that have achieved success for the hints and tips that they have, always try to treat your customers the  way you would like to be treated, no matter the situation, make sure that whatever you create/make/sell is quality, and you feel good about selling it in your shop."
We can all benefit by taking to heart Char's words concerning kindness, consideration of others, and the well-directed desire to learn.  Kudos to our Char for her stellar example of integrity and kindness and a heart willing to listen to others. ~ Michele Davidson

  7. A well put together article for a fantastic seller! When I go into Char's shop and look around there are so many creative and unique pieces. For me, I love when I see a new item and know that it belongs to a specific seller because it has their creative touch.
