I am debating whether or not I want to put some of my pieces in an Etsy shop. I'm not a huge fan of Etsy as a business and the options they offer to the people that want a shop. They are very limiting and it will definitely cost more for me to sell an item through there than my shop, but they also provide a ton more exposure than what I'm currently getting. I just don't know if that I really want to go through all the extra headache and work if it doesn't actually get me anywhere. I'm just looking for was to get a bit more exposure for Shades.
What are your thoughts on shopping at Etsy? Are you more likely to buy something through there or through an independent website? Do you spend a lot of time looking at the shops on Etsy, or do you search the internet first for what you are looking for?
Any thoughts, feedback, suggestions or opinions are more than welcome!
