Okay, let me tell you how Pepito changed my Etsy shop. He’s my long-haired chihuahua — four pounds, maximum drama, runs this house with an iron paw — and the second I started making chihuahua designs specifically for my Latina dog-mom customers in San Antonio, my sales jumped by about 40 percent in one quarter….
I’ve been doing sublimation out of my Columbus garage for going on four years now, and I can tell you with zero hesitation that corgi butts sell mugs. That squat little behind — stubby legs, ridiculous fluff, zero apologies — hits some primal funny bone in the buying public that I genuinely did not anticipate…
I’ve been running my Cricut shop out of our spare bedroom in Fort Collins for three years now, and corgis have become the spine of my entire product line. It started because of Pixel and Mochi — my two dogs, a five-year-old red-and-white and a two-year-old tricolor who believes she is the center of the…
I’ve been doing tumblers and vinyl out of my craft room in Boise, Idaho for about four years now, and pug designs have been a quiet goldmine the whole time. My sister has two pugs named Pretzel and Biscuit, which is basically how I got pulled into this niche — she kept asking me to…
I make custom pet shirts out of my spare bedroom in Savannah, Georgia, and pug orders have been my most requested breed for the past eighteen months. My own pug, Biscuit, is a four-year-old fawn boy who sits on my lap while I scroll through Cricut Design Space, and I’m pretty sure the people who…
My name is Dana Kowalski and I run a print-on-demand and HTV shop out of my basement in Tucson, Arizona. I have been selling on Etsy for just under four years, and pitbull designs are quietly one of my most reliable revenue streams every single month. I say quietly because pitbull buyers do not announce…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my spare bedroom in Austin, Texas, and pittie mom designs have become the backbone of my entire apparel business. My rescue bully mix, Rosie, found me three years ago through the local shelter, and she’s been sleeping under my craft table ever since while I load my…
My name is Mara, and I sublimate out of a converted spare bedroom in Bozeman, Montana, with my Siberian husky Nova snoring on the dog bed next to my Sawgrass SG500. Husky portrait designs are genuinely one of the best-performing niches I have found in five years of running my Etsy shop, and I will…
I run a small Etsy shop out of my spare bedroom in western Pennsylvania, and minimalist dog designs have been my bread-and-butter since I bought my Cricut Maker 3 two winters ago. My husky, Kodiak, has been the unofficial mascot of my whole operation — his face has ended up on keychains, car decals, engraved…
I’ve been cutting husky designs out of my garage in Portland, Oregon for going on four years now, and I can tell you from actual sales data that husky moms are one of the most loyal repeat buyers in the pet-apparel niche. My own husky mix, Niko, has cost me three cutting mats and approximately…
