It's been 2 years since I've opened my Etsy shop. It all started as a little hobby and it slowly developed into a real business.
I love Etsy. It's a great marketplace, it has lots of handmade and unique items and you can find it all in one place. But the fact that you need to have an Etsy account to make a purchase was leaving a lot of potential customers out.
It was time to keep up with the development of my little business and set up a proper website and online shop of my own. And today I'm proud to announce that we're online at www.mypartydesign.com!
The Etsy shop is still up and running, but now you can purchase directly from the website too!
Come check it out!

Congratulations! With a lot of consumers opting to shop online, it’s about time you broaden your horizons beyond Etsy. Having your own website is a good step in establishing your business’s identity in the industry. And this way, you can be found much easier by those who are in need of your products and services. – Sergio, Front Page Domination
ReplyDeleteThat is so great. It can be difficult to get a website up and running. I have found that one of the more difficult aspects is getting the e-commerce side up. I had no clue how many moving parts were a part of an e-commerce site. And I had no idea about all of the costs. Everyone wants their cut.

I have met a lot of online entrepreneurs like artists and graphic designers say pretty much exactly the same thing. Now most of them use a combination of their own store and Etsy, like you're doing here, with success! The best thing is that you can use the reach of Etsy's marketplace while keeping some autonomy.
