I also just love browsing what people make.<br /><br />2: What influences you to buy from an etsy store. THe quality and uniqueness of the product. How cute and one of a kind.<br /><br />3: At times I would rather have finished at other times I would rather do it myself. It would be cool to have some kits for kids to do. I love kits!

In answer to your questions, <br />1: What influences you to visit an etsy store.<br /><br />Well, usually I visit an etsy store because I've seen their work on someone's blog or one of my friends recommended them. Sometimes it's because I've seen them in a treasury on the etsy home page. <br /><br />2: What influences you to buy from an etsy store.<br /><br />Basically, I will buy if I love the item, and it's affordable.<br /><br />3: Would you rather buy supplies or a ready made project IE: supplies to make a crazy quilt block or a crazy quilt block already made, supplies to make a small land scape quilt or a ready made land scape quilt, a kit for a pincushion or a ready made pin cushion.<br /><br />I very rarely buy supplies. I buy things that are already made, like jewelry or purses. <br /><br />Thanks for this giveaway!@From Snowflakes To Hotcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736374258766820525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239879721435131411.post-85975575298873931862010-05-20T06:24:41.171-07:002010-05-20T06:24:41.171-07:00Great way to get some feedback for diving into ets...Great way to get some feedback for diving into etsy! I haven't bought anything from etsy, so my feedback is from a newbie's point of view. But hey, maybe it's helpful it getting newbies to buy goodies. One thing that would influence me is the "store front" being homey yet professional. Something that grabs your attention (humerous picture etc), as I have gotten lost (lost interest) in surfing etsy when I have, as the slickness wears on you. The sites all start looking the same. <br />Actually buying from etsy....I think I'd be influenced (as I am on ebay) with personal service (emails) and again that homey-ness. Also of course the price wars and competitive pricing. But I'll pay more at a site that I know I'm not going to get lost in the shuffle.<br /><br />As far as supplies vs completed item....definately the supplies. During this giveaway, I didn't enter giveaways that offered handmade items. Granted they were super super cute, I'll leave it for someone else. I get giddy over supplies. If you need further feedback as you get situated with etsy (I see you already have a store), feel free to email me and pick my brain as a newbie. You may have to push some cobwebs out of the way in my brain, but ask away!<br />nsue21702 at gmail dot comNancy Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290873406016587211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239879721435131411.post-27016033018580754132010-05-19T20:33:42.407-07:002010-05-19T20:33:42.407-07:00Hello :) Great items and great blog!

I'd like to try my ha...I'd love the wool... I'd like to try my hand at appliquing simple projects, and that would be perfect.<br /><br />To answer your questions...<br /><br />1: Usually, I see an interesting link or recommendation on a blog or message board. That is probably the most common reason I visit a shop. Occasionally, I will do a random search for something specific. <br /><br />2: This is easier. For me, I look for polished goods or styling. It doesn't have to be fancy - it just has to look like someone was taking it seriously! For example, good pictures, clear instructions/descriptions of the products, etc. Nice packaging is also nice. Again, it doesn't have to fancy or expensive, but having it presented nicely is very enticing!!<br /><br />3: I don't quilt - I'm a beginner learning how to sew. For me, I'd rather buy supplies than complete kits. That said - I could see myself buying specific kinds of kits, such as small beginner projects like the pincusion you mentioned. It would be a good way to try out little projects that have a variety of components (such as fabric, filler, interfacing, fusible fleece) without having to go out and buy a billion things that I only need a small amount of. I may not be describing this how I mean to - feel free to email me if you want me to explain further!GigiEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059102997750129658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239879721435131411.post-61631588055598895992010-05-19T15:18:01.412-07:002010-05-19T15:18:01.412-07:00Forgot to mention, Left Handed too!

I visit an etsy shop, often inspired by blog posts. check out http://eagerhands.blogspot.com/2010/05/strong-tower-necklace.html as an example of why I click over.<br /><br />2. I buy something if it is a great value and if I can use it. Like I often buy jewelry supplies on etsy, which I cannot buy in store. If it is cheaper on etsy than in store, I need to make sure the shipping isn't too expensive.<br /><br />3. I like the kits for lots of things. but then I also like some things that are complete. So I think listing both is a great idea.<br /><br />Hope this helped!

Because potential buyers cannot feel the object, they have to be drawn in my the photo. I, personally, would rather buy supplies than a finished object but not everyone is crafty. It would be interesting to know the percentage of etsy shoppers who are crafty types, though. I think the percentage would be very high.
