It is still a little bit of time where you can jump in and start selling this like never before. Holiday sales are the biggest on Etsy, and these seven trends are things that buyers are already looking for that you can grab and take action to start selling today and see orders coming in like never before. Etsy holiday sales are not just big, they're lifechanging for sellers who know what people are looking for. And let me tell you, in this video, I'm going to give you seven ideas like never before of things that we are seeing people already looking for, buying for, and using for Q4 this holiday season that there is still time for you to jump in and start selling in your shop to start hearing the cha-ching come in with your Etsy shop like never before. If you're new around here, my name is Tanner Bell and I help Etsy sellers sell more to strangers and stop trying to hustle through and sell to their friends and family. In today's video, I have seven ideas of things that we're seeing sell like hot cakes that you can jump in and start selling, too. If you're ready, let's dive in. Number one, I want you to know that custom ornaments are gamecher. And we're seeing customized ornaments sell super super well this holiday season. And the reason why is because they're meaningful, they're affordable, and they usually mark a special occasion. I want you to consider all the different things that you could do for this. Whether you want to offer a memorial ornament, a first Christmas ornament, a pet ornament, anything in that realm that is going to say, "Oh my goodness, it is a keepsake. Oh my goodness, this is something I could get for my own baby, my own pet, um, give as a memorial, give as a gift." These are some of the things that we see sell super super well and that we're seeing already pick up a lot of traction inside of Etsy shops. So that if you're looking for a way you can jump in list something super quick, make sure it's not just an ornament, but make sure it's a customized ornament. Does it take a little bit more work? Yes. But is there less competition? Yes. Is there a way to show up and charge more because it's custom? 100%. We love the idea of doing customized ornaments and we think you will too. Number two, we're seeing watercolor portraits or digital downloads. Now, some of you may want to be able to come in and say, "You know what? I want to merge together customized ornaments or customized downloads with a watercolor portrait and download." Here on the Makers Going to Learn channel, we have taught you quite a few times how to take different types of imagery, whether it's pets, homes, and turn it into watercolor images. And that is totally something we're seeing work really, really well on Etsy this holiday season. Some of the reasons why it works so well is that it's personal, it's artistic, and for a lot of us, it's budget friendly. When you're selling digital downloads, the reason they're so popular is because they're usually low cost, $10 and below for a download, and then the buyer is actually taking it and getting it printed themselves at Office Max, Office Depot, uh you know, any type of print shops. It is usually pretty cost-effective and it's perfect for families, couples, or you know, wanting to document their favorite pets. I think it's super super good. Now, a bonus would be digital formatting. So, if you're going to offer a print version where you are printing this out and putting it on something, maybe as a bonus, you would be like, "Hey, I will give you your own digital version of your home so that you can use it in other ways and other places." I think that would be super super valuable um and really set you yourself apart from other sellers. I think that is a really big misconception. You know, when you're on uh Etsy, it's so easy to look at what everyone else is doing and just do that. But how could you step up and truly be the number one person of your industry? What could you do that no one else is doing that could set yourself apart? That is what I want you to consider. So, when you're looking at doing watercolor portraits, maybe it is something like doing a custom one, maybe it is offering a lot of fun watercolor downloads, um, and anything in between, I know will be perfect for you. Next up is a holiday themed pet products. There is nothing better than celebrating the holidays, but celebrating the holidays with your pet as the main star of the show. And we've already seen a lot of sellers picking up traction in this regard where being able to see that their pets are families and owners buy for them like their own children. And we as sellers need to show up and support those pet owners like never before because they're on Etsy. They're looking for amazing things to buy and they want to have something super unique, super personalized. Whether it's a pet stocking, it's a holiday outfit, it's the bandanas, it's the cat accessories. These holiday themed Christmas products sell like crazy. You have to be offering them if your shop could do that. if it's something that um you know fits into your like what your niche would be and what your shop would sell. Holy cow, imagine being able to offer some really fun stockings or bandanas or things like that. Like people will absolutely adore these and especially when you make it specific for different types of dog breeds and different types of cats and things like that. um it'll be such a no-brainer for them to be like, "Oh, I have to get this for my uh little pet this year." Next up is personalized holiday kitchen goods. Why this works is that it is the season of hosting. So, it's hosting season, it's gifting season, and these two cross over really, really well. This is a practical yet sentimental gift that you will be able to do. It is very important as we enter the holiday shopping season, we understand that people are shopping for themselves. They're also shopping for others and they're shopping for cross, you know, crossover between gifting and hosting. I think this is a really important one to understand the concept where personalized holiday goods is really, really important. Um, and this could really fit for your niche. Some of the examples could be um engraved cutting boards, holiday cookie stamp, customized mugs, like any sort of things that would be in the kitchen that would be great to use at a party or great to bring as a hostess gift. This could be really a great opportunity for you to take this idea and design some really awesome things that is going to be really unique in the industry. Think about, you know, what type of mugs you would do. Think about your cutting boards, any type of baking gifts. I think this is super, super awesome, and I think you'll really be amazed if you start researching that niche. All right, digital sellers, listen up. Holiday cards and holiday invitations. It is party time and it is time for you to design some really awesome templates. Whether it's for the holiday card, whether it's for parties, this is going to save busy shoppers so much time with ready to print solutions. This is what you're doing. You are giving them a service. Digital design, in my opinion, is more a service than a product, which I absolutely adore. So, think about bundling invitations with menus, place cards, or, you know, any sort of games to increase the value. Imagine offering like a full bundle of holiday Christmas parties where you're getting the place card print out. You're getting the invitation, you're getting the, you know, a few games to play at the party and it's all in one bundle. Think about how much value that is for the person throwing the party. Like that is going to be huge, huge, huge. So consider that. Be excited for that. It is super, super fun. And I know that you guys are going to really run with this one. And again, there it is still a little bit of time where you can jump in and start selling this like never before. Number six, cozy hobby/occupation sweatshirts. So, take a sweatshirt and think about throwing in things like being a nurse, like bringing in like nursing, any sort of different type of hobbies that you want to showcase for people, whether it's showcasing their golfing, whether it's showcasing any sort of I want to say occupation or hobby. This is a really great opportunity to bring the sweatshirts to the front and center of your shop. The reason I love selling sweatshirts, they're usually $35 to $45. We usually profit really well on them. And sweatshirts are something that people are all the time buying for themselves and they're buying for gifts. Sweatshirts is like one of the number one things I see people gift. I receive a ton of sweatshirts. I receive a ton ton of hoodies and you will be seeing them kind of like peek up in your shop. So think whether it be a teacher Christmas sweatshirt, whether it's something about baking, whether it's a nurse one, a golf one, a pickle ball, like think of all the different ones like a crossfit. Like all of these are really fun sweatshirts and you could take them and run with them. So whichever occupation you feel like you know the best, whichever hobby you feel like you know the best, that would be super fun to take it up a notch and create some of these for amazing holidays. Now, we're not saying that they're holiday themed, but we're saying we're positioning them as amazing gifts to give. So, that doesn't mean they're Christmas themed necessarily, but they're focusing in on your hobby or your occupation. Number seven is having really awesome stocking stuffers/ lowcost buys. So, why this works is when you have items that are $10 and below, things for teachers, co-workers, neighbors, secret Santa, it is really, really awesome to just have some low ticket items people can kind of stock up on and be able to, you know, give these at all the different types of, you know, events that they're wanting to give things at. I like to think about ways to spruce up giving a gift card in this category as well because no one just wants to give a gift card. They want to give a gift card in a meaningful, impactful way. So, this is a really great for any paper crafters, any sort of people out there that want to give unique gifts at a low cost. Um, this is a great opportunity for you to say like, "What are some low ticket items in my shop, like $15, $10 and below, that people may add on because they're already spending $45, $75 in my shop? What else would they buy?" Um, so that's a fun little category that is really, you know, awesome. It's items that are easy to ship. It's great basket builders. It's great for multi-iteem orders. Think keychains, candles, custom print pencils, journals, anything in that regard will be super awesome. But my friends, those are seven different ideas for your Etsy shop.
