There are so many people out there selling planner stickers on Etsy... especially Erin Condren stickers! So why did I want to open up a shop that will be selling stickers, also??
Every shop I buy from doesn't have exactly what I want. I've been settling the past few months since I've been super into creating spreads every week in my planner. A huge issue I have is the size of my handwriting. It seems like all these shop owners have super small handwriting, so it doesn't cause any kind of problem for them. However, I know a handful of people who are a part of the planning community who have large handwriting like myself. The stickers I'm creating will allow me to write using large handwriting without making the spreads look crammed.
Another reason I'm opening my own shop is because, I don't want to pay for stickers anymore (haha). It's super expensive, and really burning a hole in my pocket! My stickers will be affordable, but still have great quality. Right now, it's looking like each sheet will cost approximately $3. I have bought from some very reasonably priced shops, but I'm still excited to not have to pay for stickers anymore!
I won't just be selling stickers, either. When I decided I wanted to open up an Etsy shop (about 3 months ago), I originally planned on selling wall clings. I plan on having decorations of the same sort in my shop at some point, but I'm starting with stickers for the time being. Since the two things don't go together, I'm probably going to open up a completely different shop with the wall clings. That will be awhile down the road though, and everything is still up in the air!
I'm hoping to have everything up and running by the beginning or middle of October. Any updates will be posted on my Instagram (first), and this blog (second). Go follow my Instagram! @pintsizedplanner
If you have any kind of suggestions as to what kind of stickers you want to see in my shop, leave a comment below! I'm most familiar with the Erin Condren planners, so keep that in mind!
Have a great weekend!

This sounds like a good business plan!
