To Sell or Not To Sell (Patreon)
Content
In the last few months, I have seen quite a decline in print sales from my shop on Big Cartel. ( www.annaleebelle.bigcartel.com) Much of this is due to Facebook's change in their algorithm, which dramatically decreases the reach on a post with a link attached. I can see where my traffic is coming from on the website, and rarely anymore is it Facebook. I've also tried using Facebook's shop, which has given me a whole 2 sales in almost 6 months. Sad, sad thing. I sometimes sell through Spreesy on Instagram, which is decent, but not quite the results I'd like to see.
Anywho, I'm curious to know your thoughts on this. I realize I haven't been changing out my inventory as much and I wonder if that is part of the reason. Do you think I need to keep it more updated or are people just not as big on physical prints anymore?
In all honesty, I am debating shutting down my shop altogether. It's quite a hassle to keep up with and I would love to focus more energy into doing more productive things which have better payoff, like Patreon! But I definitely would like your input. If I decided to close it down, I'll do a big sale and let you all know about first in case you want to stock up on stuffs. ;)
