| Latest Addition to the Shop Today: Citrus set! |
Back in December when Christmas sales were rockin', I also listed and sold a few felt foods on ebay. I haven't felt the urge to set up a shop on ebay though. Not yet at least! lol
I have been wondering about Hyena Cart. As my sales on etsy in the new shop are picking up (more than double last month--hooray!), would opening a shop on Hyena Cart be good, too?
I pondered the pros and cons. Mr. Felt Food laughed & asked if I had time for that. Good question! Then I saw the special Hyena Cart is running. While it'll still be a $7.50 monthly fee, to open a shop it's only ONE CENT. Not the usual $10. Just one little penny!

I couldn't resist. Last night I opened a shop on Hyena Cart. Same prices, same pictures, same descriptions as what I have on etsy.
Want to see the shop? Check out: http://hyenacart.com/FeltFoodKids/
Of course the etsy shop is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/FeltFoodKids
I uploaded about 7 items last night & another 13 today. I'm intrigued because there aren't too many felt food sellers on hyena cart (unlike etsy where competition is stiff). There wasn't a lot of selection either. I'm wondering if other sellers have tried HC in the past & given up from lack of sales?
Which site will sell more felt food? Etsy or Hyena Cart? So far it's been just under 24 hours & I haven't had much traffic to HC. I know, give it time!
Let the experiment begin!
Regarding sales, FYI I personally have never heard of Hyena Cart namely because when doing a Google Search it never has come up. (I'm from Canada.) I do have a Blog Profile but I am not a Facebook Member as choose and prefer not to be. Do you have to be a Facebook member to log on to the Hyena Site? IF so, perhaps that is why the traffic is less.

I found the experiment to be dismal; however, I never got to give it much of a chance. My hubby moved us twice this past year for his career (engineer--who knew they could move as much as military personnel, lol?). The movers destroyed a lot of my inventory (and a lot of our other stuff), so I've been focused on Etsy & rebuilding inventory. I heard about Hyena Cart from my granola mom friends back when we cloth diapered our daughter. I think you're on to something--Hyena Cart seems to have fallen off the map a bit in popularity. Meanwhile, my 82 yaer old aunt recently asked me about setting up her own etsy shop! :) Thanks for the compliments on my food!
