Listing advice for people who make custom items
Jun 13, 2012 10:08 PM

Hi,  I was thinking I will share from time to time listing ideas, and I am open to hear yours.

 

I have button machines and I have been listing buttons, magnets, and i have been gluing flatbacks to tape measures, mirrors, badge reels, and more.

 

I have been listing the items indiviually or small lots of the same items.  Sales are happening, but I want to increase sales.  My most recent items are military "MOM", "DAD", "Wife".  So I am thinking of making gift sets.

 

A gift set will include

#1  Tape Measrue, Mirror, Magnet and pin.

#2  Tape Measrue, Travel Sewing Kit, Magnet and pin

#3 for dad of a Marine etc. a set would have a tape measure, pin and magnet.

 

The idea is that people don't need 10 pins with "Marine MOM" on them but could use the gift sets.  I was doing the lots to get the price up.  I don't want to sell one pin at a low price.  So perhaps the gift sets will work.
