Hoping some of you experts that sell these kits can give me some pointers, started making a few pens, perfume atomisers etc etc which I am going to put in an etsy shop & hopefully sell a few. Just wondering if those that do this stick to certain items that they know sell well, there are a lot of different pen kits available & I am guessing that some will be more popular than others. Other thing was to ask if you found that any particular shape sold better, if I am being honest I am not a big fan of bulbous pens but if that is what people want then I am happy to make them lol, have any of you done any market research to find out what sort of thing people want or is it simply a case of looking around at what others are selling & make the same thing?
Pricing is a huge issue but I won't ask about that here, I know prices vary enormously & I am not looking to give stuff away so will price at a level I am happy with & if I don't sell anything then so be it
I've done the sell cheaper than everyone else thing in the past & it just made me unhappy & feel worthless, that was working as a signmaker working with vinyl which I still do but I won't compete with others on price anymore, found out the hard way that it was never a like for like price in the first place anyway
