Why did you choose to sell on Etsy and do you sell anywhere else?</b></span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">I chose to sell on etsy because it's a beautiful place. Etsy is known for handmade items and people who visit Etsy are looking for just that. They appreciate the work that it takes and they are willing to pay a little extra for something special - something you can't get in a store. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">I don't sell anywhere else. I have sold in boutiques in the past, but I live in a small farming town. Garland isn't for practical people. So Etsy is my place to be.</span></span></span><br />

My name is May and I started selling on Etsy last August. I’ve been sewing since I was 14, taking Saturday courses at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. I decided to take it to the next level last summer. I found out about Etsy on </span><a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#996633;">BurdaStyle</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#996633;"> and decided to give it a chance. After a few months, I felt very at home. Many sellers have helped me grow and learn about advertising, taking photos, taxes, marketing, craft fairs, and among numerous other things. For the seven months I’ve been here, I must say that I have chosen the correct online venue to sell at. I don’t think I would have learned as much on my own or at any other site. Despite the major competition here for sales, there is a great amount of communication, respect and honesty on Etsy between sellers and buyers and other sellers as well. I hope the others around me on the site feel the same love I do! Being connected is an important part of running a business and Etsy has helped me build a lifelong network of friends and enemies (we are competing for sales you know!) </span></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">Check out May's: </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/themayflower"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">shop</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">, </span><a href="http://twitter.com/lavieenmay"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">twitter</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">, </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/themayflower"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">fb</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">, and </span><a href="http://www.lavieenmay.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">blog</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">.

I work in a research facility at a university and even though I love my job, it doesn’t always quench my creative thirst. Two times a week during lunch, I go to a yoga class that is in my building. The woman who teaches the class saw my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VirtuoSew?section_id=5950492">groovy yoga bag</a> and said to me, “What a great bag!”, to which I eagerly replied, “I made it.” She responded appropriately with a (gasp!) and said, “If you make some of those for me, I will sell them in my studio!” That’s how <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VirtuoSew">VirtuoSew</a> was started. I made her about 6 bags and some <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VirtuoSew?section_id=5950494">hairbands</a>. </span></i></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><br /></span></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">People started seeing items and I started selling by word of mouth. I wound up at a craft fair and shared a table with a friend who I consider a very talented artist. She told me about Etsy and encouraged me to check it out. Just over a year ago, I opened my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VirtuoSew">Etsy shop</a>. I am constantly thinking about ways to combine fabrics, ways to improve my designs, and thinking of new designs! I still have a lot to learn and long ways to go, but Etsy makes the whole selling thing pretty easy. You get out what you put in, and you can’t always say that about your 9-5. If I’m not selling as much as I’d like, there is always something I can do to improve. I can do things in my own time, in my own way. </span></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><br /></span></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">Etsy has given me the opportunity to be my own boss and reap the benefits of all my hard work.</span></i></span></span></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><br /></span></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">A big thanks to Maureen from </span></span></b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VirtuoSew"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">VirtuoSew</span></span></b></a><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">!

When I found it, I absolutely fell in love with it. It brings so many customers to your business who might not have found it on just a .com site. I do sell my products at art shows and festivals, but etsy is the only website.<br /><br />2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.) I love to buy jewelry. You can get the most fabulous original pieces from truly gifted artists. I'm the type of girl that loves to have something that no one else has! Etsy is the perfect gift site as well.<br /><br />3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$? On etsy? Not sure I quite understand this question. I love the scrabble tile pendants that are on here. They are sold by several different vendors.<br /><br />4- Any advice for new sellers? Do not be discouraged if you do not make a sale right away. Be persistant and definitely take advantage of the showcase options etsy offers. They are a great way to attract buyers!<br /><br />5-And a favorite quote?

Selling on line became my best option.A friend of mine suggested Etsy a few years ago and it's been the best place to sell my Originals.<br />A few other poster and print companies sell my reproductions.<br />I also have galleries on Zazzle.com, Art.com,and Allposters.com.<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><b>2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)</b></span><br />I love to buy Supplies on Etsy,Unique clothing,and I do most of my Family Holiday shopping on Etsy.
