As part of my membership in EtsyBloggers (an Etsy street team), I am asked to blog twice a month about specific topics. The current topic is:
How are you going to prepare your business for the holiday rush?
Honestly, I'm not sure how much "rush" I'll see. :) Sales in my Etsy shop have gone up a bit lately and I hope to see them continue like this. However, I probably won't ever really feel rushed. (It would be very fun to have that problem.)
That being said, here's what I've been doing in preparation for the holiday season....
* Adding more merchandise to the shop. I'm currently up to 83 items for sale. And I'll like to make (and then add) a few more each week as we get closer to Christmas/Hanukkah/Solstice.
* I added another colorway for one of my favorite items -- the "Gather 'Round The Aluminum Tree" Christmas/winter cards. I love this combination of aqua and lime/chartreuse.
* I'll be participating in a big sale through the EtsyBloggers team. So if you've been thinking about making a purchase, you might want to wait a week or so. The sale will run from Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) through Cyber Monday (December 1). Stay tuned for more details!

Good luck with your sales!
Me too...what holiday rush? Empty nesters w/o family in the area for the holidays...
Also wishing you the best with your sales. Many of us can use some business.
I haven't seen a lot of business either. One suggestion: since you have a lot of items in the "Paper Goods" section, you might think about dividing that into smaller sections. People are so impatient - they might not want to go through the whole 40+ items....
