Why Etsy Sellers Should Have Their Own eCommerce Website
Take the next step in your business with your own online store
Etsy is a great place to sell your own products, and is a great website, but it’s time to branch out and become more independent and start increasing your sales.
Your store is controlled by Etsy
Etsy is constantly changing their algorithms and layout. You have to constantly learn their new requirements. You can customize your own store to fit your needs, and you won’t have to pay Etsy’s fees. Basically, you are working for Etsy. Your store fees, advertising fees, transaction fees, and listing fees is how Etsy makes their money. They can also decide to cancel your store if it violates their terms and conditions. Your own store won’t have to deal with these issues. Create your own SEO, advertising and marketing. Design your own site any way you want – you have control over your own website!
Look more professional to your customers
If you have a well designed, user-friendly site, customers will respect that. Add all the pictures you want, your social media, and your personalized branding. Create a press page, and add articles that mention your store. An about page, details and pictures about your products and process adds to the personality to your brand
Stand out from all the rest
There are 1.98 million sellers on Etsy. There are about 50 million items for sale. How are you going to be able to stand out from the rest of the competition?
