Etsy Seller Interview with Larry of CustomCoKeepsake

How CustomCoKeepsake got started

Introduce your Etsy shop and tell us your story. How did you begin and decide on what to sell on Etsy, and how do you create your products?
I opened my shop in August 2023. Originally I wanted to sell D&D T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, mugs, etc., and I still sell those, but I’ve branched out to more. Now I sell all those same products but include a broader array of topics. As long as it’s fun and whimsical. :) Some of the products I create myself, and some I buy from Creative Fabrica creators or other Etsy creators. 

Favorite items

What are your favorite items? What makes these so special? Why do you think these items might be selling well?
So far I love the D&D Dragon series. They are my favorite because I created them myself and invested a bit of myself into them. They do sell pretty well. My other favs are the personalized Christmas Ornaments. They’re just cute and fun.

Advice for new sellers

What’s your advice for a new seller starting an Etsy shop?

Just start! The whole time I opened and built my shop, I thought I’d likely never make a sale and yet, last year I did nearly 4k in revenue, and I got started late on the holiday season and, due to medical issues, was unable to put much time into my shop for the last 4 months of 2024. 2025 will be a game changer for anyone that starts!

Some sellers really get inspired by hearing numbers. Feel free to share these if you like.
