What motivated you to start your shop?
I think it was that, almost always I looked on the internet for new ideas on wooden toys, they turned out to be products on etsy. I started looking at all children products on Etsy and I really loved the designs, and I really wanted to be part of it.
What is the story behind your shop name?
The name means "Eloisa Toys". This is because I started doing toys first only as gifts for my daughter, Eloisa. When I realized I could sell them, Juguetes Eloisa felt just right as a name for my shop. After all, the toys I make are alll inspired by her.
What surprised you most about having your own craft / online shop?
I think I have been very lucky, because what most surprise me is how thankful the buyers are. When I contact them and they reply, or when they leave a review they always seem to be so happy for buying my toys that it really makes me happy! I never expected to be so involved with the buyer, really.
What is your favourite creations from your shop?
"This is really a hard one, as there is no one single creation I upload to Etsy that I do not like. But I think I will choose the puzzle tree with a rabbit and a turtle on it.
I love this item, was the first I ever design; it was for my daughter's birthday. Since then I had change some lines and some colors, so now the design is even more beautiful than before."
What do you find most challenging about being an Etsy seller?
I think the most challenging part about selling on etsy is the not knowing what will come next, is this week going to be a relaxed one, or is it that tomorrow there is going to be a new huge order? or a really challenging custom order? This keeps things really fun all the time.
Please tell us a little about the children's items market / handmade movement in your Country?
In Chile the children's item market is growing really fast, specially all baby related products. Nonetheless, I think we still have a long way in order to appreciate the extra cost it involves buying handmade products. As it is now, it is really a challenging market, as there are a lot of chinese products that are offered at prices no one can compete with. But it is starting to grow on people the wanting for national and handmade products, so I hope this only gets better for us!
