Today I am bringing you something fun! I guest post from another shop owner. :)
I’m REALLY overly super duper over my head busy over here, so Kashoan {pronounce ca-shown} offered to write a guest post for me! :)
Comments are back on, so please welcome her by reading her post and leaving a comment!

Hi Everyone! I am Kashoan from KraftyKash. I will be guest posting for the lovely SheyB today.
I have been extremely fortunate to have sucess at what I love doing, making jewelry out of vintage finds.
One thing that I really pride myself in, is having a customer friendly shop.
I want to give you a few ideas on some things that I do in my Etsy shop for all my customers.
-respond to questions in a timely manner
I don’t know about you, but I hate it when I find something really cool online & have a question for the seller & the seller responds 5 days later or not at all.
I have my email on my blackberry & get a notification every time I get an email from a potential customer.
I answer it as fast as I can.
-let your customer know that you got their order
I am sometimes nervous about spending $$ online. When I make a purchase, I want to know that the seller got my money.
I send out a quick thank you for your purchase email to my buyers, letting them know when their necklace will be shipped.
-enclose a hand written thank you note
Gone are the days of writing letters.
I truly appreciate every sale I get.
So I always enclose a small hand written note, just to say thank you.
I hope that you find this information helpful & can take a few tips to use in your own shop.

great tips…i think your business isn’t successful unless you have these implemented.

My sister and I always joke that our favorite thing about shopping on Etsy is the way the package arrives. I love the personal touch so many small business owners add to the experience. It wins me over every time.

Love the ideas! I love the hand written thank you. I miss the days of knowing that people use to take the time to write you instead of a quick 2 second email. :)
