What’s Selling in My Shop Right Now (And Why I Think It’s Working)

-

 Let’s talk about what’s hot in the shop right now—because I’m lowkey still surprised (and super pumped) by what’s been flying off the virtual shelves.

If you had told me a month ago that I’d be constantly restocking UV DTF wraps—especially the branded ones like Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse, Disney princesses, Bluey, and SpongeBob—I probably would’ve said:
“Really? Those are the ones people want the most?”

But guess what?
YEP. THEY DO.

What’s Selling: Branded UV DTF Wraps

My top sellers so far:

  1. Spider-Man – Sold out (because of course he did—he’s friendly, neighborhood, AND marketable)

  2. Mickey Mouse – Running low and I’m not surprised. Everyone loves a classic.

  3. Disney Princesses, Bluey, & SpongeBob – These are climbing fast, and I can totally see why.

There’s something magical about these designs—they’re nostalgic, eye-catching, and instantly recognizable. And when you pair them with that glass soda can shape? Chef’s kiss. 👄

Why I Think It’s Working

Here’s what I’ve realized:
A lot of people want to create but don’t have the supplies—or honestly, they just don’t want the hassle.

So I make it easy.
✔️ You’ve got the blanks.
✔️ I’ve got the wraps.
✔️ You apply it with love and care (and a towel and credit card, let’s be real).
✔️ They get a finished, adorable tumbler with none of the stress.

I think that’s why this part of my business is working: I’m filling the gap between DIY desire and done-for-you convenience.

Plus, I make sure my listings are searchable. Tags matter. I include them in everything I post so that when someone searches “SpongeBob cup” or “Disney tumbler,” I’ve got a shot at popping up.

Traffic Is Up (And I’m Just Getting Started)

My shop is getting good foot traffic, and I really believe it’s because I’m:

  1. Posting consistently

  2. Using strong tags

  3. Offering designs that make people smile

And while I’m still growing and learning, I can feel it—this is working.

So, What’s Next?

I’m gonna keep testing wraps, keep watching what’s selling (and favorited), and keep giving the people what they love. (Spider-Man better get ready for a restock because… wow.)

And if you’ve been wondering what kind of products connect with customers:
Start with what’s familiar. Start with what’s fun. Then make it yours.

My First Sale - That wasn't a friend or family member.

-
There comes a moment in every small business owner’s journey that feels like a rite of passage. No, I’m not talking about picking the perfect logo or finally figuring out how to price your products without second-guessing yourself (although those are both real struggles). I’m talking about The First Sale. Not the “Oh, honey, I’ll buy one” from your mom. Not the “I love your work! Do you take Venmo?” from your bestie. Not even the “I’ll support your business!” purchase from your cousin who still owes you money from 2009. I mean the first REAL sale —from a complete stranger. Someone who doesn’t share your last name, isn’t in your group chat, and gasp actually wants what you made! How It Happened So, there I was, minding my own business (literally), when I got The Notification. You know the one. 📩 Cha-ching! You’ve made a sale! At first, I assumed it was my sister or a coworker trying to be sneaky. But when I checked the order details… I didn’t recognize the name. I blinked. Could...

✨ Flex Friday: Fiesta, Family & a Sparkly Little CEO in Training ✨

-
Sometimes the biggest wins don’t come from big crowds or big booths… They come from a two-hour craft fair at an elementary school , under paper flowers, surrounded by community, family, and the unexpected magic of handmade joy. This week’s flex? A Fiesta-themed event hosted by my niece Gracie’s school , and y’all — it ended up being everything. Gracie, the Accidental CEO 👧🏻✨ Knowing she might get a little bored, I brought Gracie some silicone beads to play with while she sat at my booth. You know, just something to keep her busy. Cut to: Gracie crafting up the cutest little keychains you’ve ever seen , and casually laying them out on the table like she’s been doing markets for years. No sign. No price. Just sitting there being adorable. Then it happened… A woman walked by, picked one up and said, “Oh my gosh… these keychains are BEAUTIFUL!” 😍 I blinked. Gracie blinked. I said, “Yep! They’re for sale!” ( Internally: Are they? They are now. ) The lady BOUGHT it. Gra...

🔍 Flex Friday: 3 Things That Helped My Etsy Listings Get Found

-
 Let’s talk about something that every shop owner stresses over at some point: “How do I get my listings SEEN on Etsy?” When I first launched Rise Up Designs, I spent hours creating products — tumblers, wraps, keychains — and then stared at my stats wondering why no one was finding them. 😩 Sound familiar? Now, I’m not saying I cracked the Etsy algorithm (I wish! 😂), but I have figured out a few key moves that made a difference in getting found — and getting sales. So for today’s Flex Friday, I’m sharing 3 real things that helped my listings show up more consistently. 1️⃣ Get serious about your titles Your title isn’t just a description — it’s a search tool. I used to write cutesy or vague titles, but now I start by thinking: 💡 What would my ideal customer type into the search bar? Example: Instead of “Sparkle Teacher Cup” I go with:  Teacher Tumbler with Straw – Back to School Gift – Glitter Glass Can – Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea It may sound less poetic, b...
