Let’s talk packaging... 📦 Over at Saltwater P Let’s talk packaging... 📦 Over at Saltwater Prep, we juuust switched to custom mailers this year (and I am completely obsessed 🤩). But you know what that means!? We shipped orders for over 5 years with “generic” packaging and it totally worked. If you are just starting your Etsy shop and some of the packaging trends you are seeing on tik tok aren’t in the cards, don’t worry! There are tons of options to level up your packaging on a budget.

ETSY SEO TIP ⚡️ this is far and away the most ETSY SEO TIP ⚡️ this is far and away the most common mistake I see when people ask me to audit their Etsy shops. Edit that tag line, folks! It only takes 5 seconds. 👏🏻 here’s a list of what it SHOULDN’T be: cute, catchy, or confusing. 🙅🏼‍♀️ So what should it be? Keyword focused. If you had to describe what you sell in 2-4 words, what would you say? Now make that your tag line.

SWIPE to see how Google reads that little chunk of text. 🖥
Currently feeling... scattered. 🌀🌪 it’s no Currently feeling... scattered. 🌀🌪 it’s no shock that the last quarter is go time for retailers. Then there’s the aftermath of busy season & people spending their Christmas money, which occupies a good chunk of January. 👩🏼‍💻 I find that my best ideas come to me when I’m working, so by the time mid-Jan rolls around I usually have about 3 months of ideas & half started projects stirring around in my brain. 🤯 <— me, right now. I guess I say all of this as a reminder to folks like me. 🙋🏼‍♀️ If you’re feeling behind on the whole goals and plans for 2021 thing, don’t fret. It’s not too late. In fact, I do this every year. 🙌🏻 I’ll spend this week getting my ideas down on paper and giving them deadlines, not feeling an ounce of guilt for being “late” to the party!
