✨ Early Flex Friday - From Zero to 10.5K: A Mid-Year Etsy Recap Worth Sippin' To ✨

When I launched my Etsy shop in February, I honestly just wanted to get my creations out into the world—wraps, glasses, totes, and tumblers that reflected heart, hustle, and a little sparkle. Fast forward to today, and I’m celebrating some serious milestones:

📊 2025 Stats So Far

• 10,500+ Views

• 4,680 Visits

• 250 Orders

• $2,021 Revenue

Y’all. That’s nearly $2,000 in less than six months—from my craft table to mailboxes across the country. I’ve packed every single order myself, usually late at night after working my full-time job. I’ve learned a ton (and cracked a few straws along the way 😅), but I wouldn’t change a thing.

💡 What I’ve Learned

• People want to DIY – One of the biggest surprises was how many customers preferred wrap-only kits vs. premade glasses. That pivot taught me to listen to the market, not just my own preferences.

• Every customer matters – Whether it’s a $5 sticker or a $25 tumbler set, I’m building relationships, not just revenue.

• Consistency beats perfection – I didn’t wait for everything to be “ready.” I just started—and kept going.

❤️ Thank You

To every person who clicked, liked, favorited, shared, or purchased: thank you. You’re fueling this little dream of mine, one cart at a time.

🚀 What’s Next

I’m expanding my sticker line, prepping for holiday season launches, and working on exclusive wrap kits for my mobile craft parties. (Yep—Rise Up is hitting the road.)

Let’s see what the rest of 2025 holds. But for now? I’m raising my glitter cup to this beautiful journey. Cheers, y’all. 💛
