It's been a crazy couple of weeks with work. I wasn't planning to work this past weekend...but it ended up being pretty much all I did! But I'm definitely not complaining...because I think having lots of orders is a pretty great "problem" to have. ;)
I finished last week (Sunday to Saturday) by basically surpassing all my records. On Thursday, I passed my previous record of 13 orders in one day with 17 orders is one day...and then I broke the record again yesterday with 19 orders! I broke my previous record of 57 orders in one week back in December 2024...with 89 orders last week! And I've already passed my previous record of 175 orders in one month in December 2024 by reaching over 200 orders so far...and July isn't even over yet! I also broke my previous records for weekly and monthly revenue.
Nearly all of the increases are from the custom name label sticker sheets in my CandiMakerPlanners Etsy shop. I finally hit 150 sales in that shop on July 20th...and then I hit 200 sales on July 25th. And now I'm already at 242 just three days later. I've had orders so far this year in my CMP shop, which is 400% higher than it was at this point last year. The listing for the custom name label sticker sheets have the bestseller badge,and it also has the "popular now" badge showing in search results. I'm really excited that they've been doing so well. I actually took 51 orders to the post office this afternoon! That's a new record for me, too. I spent all day yesterday printing and cutting all my orders and then was up until almost 4am packaging them all. I got all caught up and had zero pending orders...and now I already have another 9 new orders today.
Today I'm taking a break from making orders and I'm designing some new address label sticker sheets and matching envelope stickers. I've been putting it off forever, but I want to get them listed before people really start searching for Christmas stuff. I already had a few listed from before, but I'm going to be revamping them and making some new ones. We'll see how it goes.
Well...I'm going to get back to work for now. Hopefully everyone has a good week!
ETA: I mentioned that I hit 150 sales on July 20th, 200 sales on July 25th...and tonight I hit 250 sales! That's 100 sales in 8 days! I also broke my record for daily orders again with 20 orders today! :)
