Sell, Sell, Sell

Once you have created your masterpiece it's time to sell. This can be the most daunting part. Firstly, finding the right platform and then ensuring a profit. I started by looking at Facebook Marketplace but soon realised that it's a hard sell. The platform is flooded with 'upcycled products' that are often of poor quality which makes people sceptical about paying a higher price even though it's high quality restyled furniture. 

​

There are other more suitable websites such as Vinterior or Etsy however you do need to consider your loss of profits due to the commission taken. Having said that, it's a great starting point with a pretty 'hassle free' selling process. Try not to restrict yourself to just one selling platform. There more places you sell from, the better your chances of selling.

 

Having your own website allows you to tell your story and inspires people to buy your furniture and social media helps to drive traffic there! I had to get to grips with social media as it's not something I was good at. But you are reading this so I must have got something right.
