Okay, so the first person who purchased one of my bands, the name was Katie.

She's from Canada, actually.

And yeah, I believe she clicked on this ad that said,

something about, yeah, display your individuality with one of our custom-made Apple Watch bands, something like that.

Actually, no.

One of the things I started noticing is because I started this store, it wasn't Shopify alone.

I actually went full out with this.

I opened up a store on eBay, opened up a store on Etsy.

So I chose several different outlets to see which one would stick the best.

And I've actually found out that Etsy was very...

he was really into what I was selling.

And what I loved about it is that it had that customer engagement that you really don't get with your typical online store.

Well,

Etsy is one of those stores where craftsmen such as myself will put their items up for sale.

And so given that we're the ones making the items, it's very much encouraged that you can start a chat with one of us.

And if there's anything special you'd like to add or any alterations you want, we're right there.

You can just chat with us and get what you want.

So yeah, it's been working pretty good.

I've been actually getting 70% of sales on Etsy alone.

Well, at the height of it, I was getting about two orders per day.
