Get noticed on Etsy! Product ideas to explode your store's sales

Etsy is truly a marvel of the 21st century. The artists, artisans and creatives of the world have come together to create a digital ocean of online stores. But as amazing as it is to browse Etsy as a buyer, it's just as difficult for sellers to get noticed in the highly competitive environment.

If you're an Etsy seller, you've undoubtedly put meticulous work into optimizing your SEO to help you get found, but ultimately your product line and the efficiency of your order fulfillment will determine the success of your store and set you apart from those buried in the Etsy abyss.

If you're looking to advance your product line, you might be thinking, "I have great product ideas, but I don't have the funds to create them," we have a solution that might just be the answer to all of your product manufacturing dreams.

Laser Master provides small batch laser cut metal parts to people just like you. With Laser Master, the world where you can create anything you can draw has just become a reality.

Ideas and visions are probably already forming in your head, but here are some examples to fuel your inspiration even more.

Wall art

There is nothing quite like a large piece of metal to be the focal point of a room. Design and cut several individual parts (such as clock gears or simple shapes). Stack and weld them together yourself, or simply cut a single piece from solid metal.

Mounting metal on wood can give your metal art an even different look with little extra cost or skill.

Yard and exterior

When the weather is nice and you're basking in the backyard, the outside of your property can become just as much a part of your home as the inside, so why decorate just inside? Metal gives you the flexibility to cut products that can withstand the outdoors. Consider yard signs, mailbox monograms, or even weather vanes.

Other cool stuff

The possibilities of what can be cut from metal are only limited by your imagination. If you are an artist, consider your next sculpture cut from sheet metal. Even everyday items around the house – coasters, lamps or even a monogrammed fireplace screen – can be given a shiny new look.

Tips for designing laser cut products.

If you're ready to start designing metal laser cut products, there are a few best practices to follow:

Always design in vector format: Illustrator, AutoCAD, Fusion 360 are just a few platforms that create vector files. But if you don't know or have one of these apps, all is not lost. Inkscape is a free, easy-to-use design platform. Or, if you've already created your file somewhere else, we have tutorials on how to convert your bitmap file to vector.

Don't overplay: Sometimes less is more. When designing your artwork, jewelry, etc., be careful not to make the design too complicated. Excessive cutting can block the laser and cause problems. For example, Afrodita is a great example of good design, and Chrysalis is overcomplicated.

1:1 design: This means that if you want your piece to be 30cm high and 60cm wide, design it exactly that size, not 10cm high and 20cm wide.

With Laser Master's insanely fast turnaround time, you'll get great feedback and keep your customers coming back for more.
