How to Upload Logo to Etsy
We’re back with a new How to Upload Logo blog! In the first one, we discussed how to upload your logo and other resources through Shopify.
Today, we’ll look at Etsy and how you can upload your brand’s resources on the platform. The discussion is divided into three sections so you can digest the information better:
Etsy as a Platform
Multiple marketplaces exist online, but Etsy shines among them because of its listings. If you’re a vintage, handmade, arts and crafts shop and want to establish an online shop, this is the platform for you.
In 2005, Etsy officially became the brainchild of three entrepreneurs, Robert Kalin, Haim Schoppik, and Chris Maguire. The idea came to fruition when Kalin tried to sell his handmade wood-encased computers.
Kalin had a hard time marketing his product and thought if there were a group of sellers, the interest in a particular product would also increase. And in two years, it grew to have 1.7 million dollars in sales.
This website is excellent for new businesses looking for a platform to develop your brand. Now, let’s get you prepped to create a logo and have you put it on Etsy.
