Long time no post! So we've been doing and experiment for the last month or so trying out different options for how to sell. We didn't want to announce anything until we were confident it was a good move. The very last one that I drug my feet on was trying out Etsy because I'm not a huge fan.
Boy was I wrong. I might not agree with their business practices on some things but our engravings specifically have done really well on there (the macramé gets buried in all the drop shipping people buying off Temu and Wish then reselling it as "handmade").
So, what we've decided to do is to put most of the engraving and high ticket priced items on Etsy. Also, I've done away with the phone grips and am only doing badge reels currently. You can still custom order the phone grips though, just shoot me a message.
The rest is going to be put onto our website. Also, all custom orders that aren't direct messaged through Etsy will go through the website, unless you feel more comfortable using Etsy. It'll be more expensive through Etsy though.
This brings me to our last point. Prices have went up for everything that was moved to Etsy. This is due to the increase in fees and because our work has improved significantly since we started.
Sorry for the long post! If you have any questions about anything just leave a comment or send a message and we'll get back to ya asap!
