How many products does your store have and how many would you like in 6 months time?

Offering Too Many Products Too Quickly I once thought more listings meant more sales. I started listing every idea I had, which left my shop looking messy and disjointed. Eventually, I realised that sticking to a clear theme and gradually expanding my catalog allowed me to focus on quality over quantity, improving my brand’s appeal and cohesion.

Whenever I get a customer question I’ve already answered a million times, I don’t waste time typing it out again. Instead, I use “canned” responses I’ve saved for my most common questions—things like “When will my order ship?” or “Do you accept custom requests?” I have a few go-to replies saved in Etsy’s messaging system, so I just click, tweak if needed, and send. It saves a ton of time, and customers get a quick response without me having to re-type the same info over and over!

Can't give a discount but you still want to be polite. When you get a message asking for a discount, reply 'Sure! I’ll give you the friends-and-family price… after you help me pack orders this weekend. See you at 6 a.m.

Have you ever tried using AI for product ideas, images, or admin?
