Why You Should Clear Out Your Product Inventory (Marie Kondo Style)

The one thing learned from the Netflix show, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, is that I need to be grateful for the items that serve me... even if I just want to sell them off so I can make cool new shit, erm products.

When cleaning out your inventory the first thing you do is decide what to mark the item down to, and then you begin creating a whole sale campaign complete with new Etsy keywords, social media announcements, and email blasts. Or at least that's what I do.

But what I forget is to sit and be grateful for what those products have given me.

• Remember how it felt when they were new and they were unbelievably precious to you and you hoped everyone liked them? (or at least saw them)
• Remember how fun it was to have new items in your online shop?
• Remember when you went to a craft show for the first time with your new items and you got tons of compliments and people even bought them!!!!????

These are all the things you should remember when you're desperate to push inventory so you can make even more dreams come true. 

They were once your babies and even though they weren't as popular or aren't as exciting as your new projects, they still deserve a good home.

If you needed this reminder, I'm glad my little art blog reached you.
