Happy visiting.
Hi, I am Rachel.
I livid in London for six years. After I finished my job in the UK, I came back to China, and worked for a foreign trade E-Commerce Company, that is where I got to know Mike, a smart and hard work guy. He was my boss, as well as a close friend.
He used to say that buttons is really good product in European Market, however, no one believes him except me.
Several years later we left that company and open our own oversea E-commerce business. The first product we choose is buttons. Mike is in charge of the sourcing and buying, I take photos for them. We sold a lot of buttons only in few weeks.
Few month later, we decide to expend our product range, so we selected patchwork fabric, threads and ribbons also, which are all related for making DIY staff.
The more these lovely small things that I got to know, the more I love them, therefore I started to use them to make small crafts by myself.
Mike told me maybe I should put more effort in business, however I can’t help myself to invest more time in those lovely small items.
I heard of ETSY from one of our supplier last week, which I found it is specialI, However, Mike didn’t want to open a commercial store in ETSY because we are not familiar with it's system. But he suggested that I can have a try to open a store in my spare time, and sell those small items which I love so much.
So now I'm here.
I think Mike is right, but it is difficult to sell an item because no one know me, or may be there are other reasons that I don't know.
So, please help me, and it will be great if you have any suggest for me.
Thank you!
