I run a small Etsy shop out of my spare bedroom, and last December I shipped 187 holiday dog tees in six weeks straight. My dachshund Daisy is the unofficial mascot of the whole operation, so when I say the phrase “santa paws svg” actually sells, I am talking from a stack of shipping labels…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my garage in Ohio, and Q4 is the only quarter that actually pays my mortgage. My dachshund Daisy is the unofficial mascot, but every November I pivot hard into Christmas puppy designs because that’s where the money is. Mugs with Santa-hat pugs, ornaments with golden retrievers in…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my spare bedroom, and the single best-selling category I have is cute puppy face designs on nursery decor, toddler tees, and baby-shower keepsakes. My dachshund Daisy basically pays for her own kibble at this point, because every time I drop a new big-eyed puppy SVG on a…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my spare bedroom, and puppy designs pay my Cricut payment every month without fail. My golden retriever Biscuit sits at my feet while I weed HTV at 11pm, and honestly, the breeds I cut the most are the ones I see every day at my neighborhood dog…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my garage where I print shirts, sublimate tumblers, and cut vinyl mugs for the dog-dad crowd, and Father’s Day is my Super Bowl. My dachshund Daisy sits on the dryer while I press shirts, and I swear she knows when a “Dog Dad” design is about to…
I run a tiny Etsy shop out of my garage in Cleveland, and the single biggest lesson the last two Father’s Day seasons taught me is this: dog dads do not want generic paw prints. They want their breed. The guy buying a tumbler for himself wants his Frenchie on it, not a silhouette that…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my garage in Ohio, and dog dad designs have quietly become one of my steadiest sellers all year long. My own dachshund Daisy sleeps under the cutting mat while I press shirts, and honestly, half my regulars at the Saturday farmers market started buying because they saw…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my garage in Portland, and golden retriever face outlines are easily my top three sellers every single month. My golden, Biscuit, sleeps under my Cricut Maker while I cut shirts, and after three years of selling at craft fairs and online, I have learned exactly which outline…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my garage in Asheville, and last spring I noticed something weird in my sales dashboard: every single “peeking golden retriever” tumbler I listed sold out within 48 hours, while my full-body golden designs sat for weeks. So I went deep on the peeking sub-niche, bought roughly forty…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my garage in Asheville, and the single best-selling sub-niche for me over the last eighteen months has been golden retriever mom apparel. My own golden, a goofy six-year-old named Biscuit, is basically my unpaid marketing director. Every time I post a flat-lay of a new dog-mom tee…
