When I look at my shops, I see fused glass and sock critters. Yes, I have also done SockPods (iPod covers), nursery art, glass art. But let's be honest here, it is all a higher price point. I think the cheapest would be my SockPods (at $18) and my magnets.
During that fair last weekend, I noticed one thing - I need to offer lower price points. Impulse buys, something people can take without having to think about it. Especially for the sock critters, since those are "occasion" products - you need to have a reason to buy them, as a gift, communion, birthday.
So what's next?
Next fair, I will also have buttons, greeting cards, and DIY kits. The greeting cards should be easy enough - blank cards, photos of my Etsy images, spray glue. Buttons as well - same images, and I happen to have an unused button machine. Could make those into magnets as well, considering that I also have glue and, well, magnets.
DIY kits will be the biggest challenge. How to package? What to include, how to get the instructions done correctly, how much content needs to be prepared? That will be a project for next month, when I actually have the time.
Right now, I am swamped with dayjob (my last week before vacation and then unemployment, though), wholesale orders and custom nursery art.
So go take a look at your products. Do you have impulse buy items? Where do your prices start? Are there logical extensions of your current products?
