Many things have been keeping me busy, not the least of which is pivoting my Etsy strategy – I have decided to take expand my market area to EU and the rest of the world.
But only with Etsy. Because Etsy takes care of most of the bureaucracy, whereas with my other channels I would need to immerse myself to the regulations and tax codes of a couple of hundred jurisdictions. Plus the ever changing tariff conditions. Which all would be too much for lil’ PlanktonPunkt.
Originally, I tried to change the product descriptions and shipping profiles to (hopefully) EU compliant (I am copying the info provided by the production partner) by the end of this month, but now I am more modest in my ambitions and aiming to have done it during August. 2026, that is.
After that, Hello World!
Meanwhile, I heard one consultant on YouTube advertising that current trends in Etsy are back to school, feral, and cute bugs. So I thought I could try feral cute snail. On a mug that could work nicely for a college student.
Mug left side: Today, I’m feeling feral. Mug right side: Absolutely feral.
Mockups show 11oz and 15oz variants. Clicking any of the images in the gallery leads to my cheaper but USA only pop-up store.
Clicking this link will take to the mug in Etsy, which hopefully, sometime during August 2026, will be available around the world.
