Create a Webcatalogue – My Etsy Book

My Etsy Book allows Etsy sellers to create their own “WebCatalogue” to market their Etsy items.  The newly-created WebCatalogue claims to be easy to implement into your current Etsy marketing plan.  The site says it can be embedded on any website, including Facebook, Blogger, and Typepad.

Etsy seller Tali, from the shop tammnoony, tell HandmadeMarketing.org what she thinks of My Etsy Book.  “A few days ago I found an Etsy post on Twitter that introduced a great new tool called an “Etsy book“, said Tali.  “This tool enables everyone who has a shop on Etsy to create a webcatalog from their store!  It is so cool and easy to make.  I couldn’t believe my eyes!”

Creating a WebCatalogue for your Etsy shop is easy.  “All you have to do is enter your Etsy username, edit your styles and that’s it!” Talia say.  “You’re done!”

Our team at HandmadeMarketing.org likes the idea of enhancing your pre-existing marketing strategies.  Rather than creating new outlets to market, consider saving time and resources by making your current outreach better.  Tali’s rave review of My Etsy Book leads us to believe this tool could be a simple and creative way to showcase your Etsy items without much time investment.

However, not everyone thinks the website would work for their marketing.  Sarah, from Eyeshoot, says, “It’s a very interesting idea, but there’s no information on the site, no links to samples and the backgrounds are seriously tacky.  I wouldn’t put my photos against any of the templates offered.  I think they need to reconsider what they are offering and I might have another look.”

Our goal at HandmadeMarketing.org is to provide marketing information to Etsy sellers. Much of our information is generated from Etsy sellers themselves, with the hope the philosophy “what works for one might work for all” will hold true a majority of the time.
