Well, after a full month with the Etsy ad operating, I sold sixteen Hummy Wands in that time. My net is around $220-ish to $230-ish. I had targeted netting $15.00 per unit, so $14 and change isn't too far off. I'm pretty sure that I'll raise the price a dollar to $25.95 when we get closer to the holidays. But for now, this pace is fine. Actually feels like it picked up a bit in the last week.
A lot of people are buying them for gifts for their bird loving friends and family. One woman bought two, which is sweet because it doesn't cost any more to ship two of them. They weigh nothing.
I'm getting a pretty strong feeling that they are going to go gang-busters come Christmas time. I still have two and a half dozen in stock. That reminds me... I gotta stock up on the red clay.
All in all this has been a very fulfilling experience. I already have two 5-star reviews. When I read the first one I kinda started to cry. I felt like everything I'd gone through with this project was worth it just for that feeling.
And ya know, we're doing okay for the time being. So I'm just gonna leave the profits in the corporation account. It ain't income until I draw it.
