I’m going to share my strategy for my Etsy shop leading up to and while I’m on vacay. Maybe it’ll encourage you to take a REAL break! It’s hard to do, I know it all too well (our first stop into the road trip was Savers Thrift LOL). This job is so much fun that it’s common for us to have a #nodaysoff mentality.

You know how that Coco Chanel quote goes, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Well, think of that when you’re out sourcing. Your cart or basket is filling up. You’re feeling good. Maybe you grabbed something because it was only $1.99 and said, heck, I’m buying all this other stuff, what’s another $2? Plus I have a coupon! A COUPON!

Did you tune into Etsy’s seller event on September 8th, Etsy Up, helping us gear up for the holidays? If not, I have you covered with all the links you need and a little recap on CEO Josh Silverman’s kick off address.
