Everyone keeps telling you to price one thing dirt cheap to pull in new customers. It works great at Costco. On Etsy, it just hands your money to a bargain hunter who never comes back. So if a cheap price is not how you win that first sale, what is?
In this episode I break down why loss leaders fall apart on Etsy (hint: there is no front door for a deal to pull anyone through), and then I give you the actual way to win a first-time buyer without dropping your price by a single dollar. A first-time buyer has no history with you, no loyalty, and about ten seconds to decide whether you are the real deal or a stranger they should skip. Your job is to be the easiest, safest yes in a search full of competitors. I walk you through the three things that make that happen, plus the concrete trust moves you can go set up today.
What you'll learn:
Why the loss leader advice everyone repeats was built for stores with doors, and why Etsy does not have one
The three things every first sale has to clear, in order, before a stranger will buy
Why getting found and getting clicked are two completely different problems (and most sellers only work on one)
Why a first-time buyer needs more proof than a repeat buyer, and exactly what proof to give them
Four trust moves you can set up today, including the one that does more work than all the rest
How to win the buyer who wanted what you actually make, at the price you actually charge
