I am realizing that products geared towards a specific time
of the year are like gold on TpT. I
recently posted some preschool and kindergarten graduation diplomas and
certificates. They are selling like
hotcakes! (Ok, maybe “warm cakes” is
more accurate, but it’s still better than anything I sold last month!)
This has made me really think about the importance of having
products that teachers need WHEN they need them. This is another one of my “Duh” moments
because this is such a simple idea that I should have gotten it long ago.
As much as I don’t like seeing Christmas decorations in
stores when it’s not even October, that’s what I have to do. I need to think several months in advance
about what people what be shopping for so that I have those products ready before
the shoppers need them.
I thought about making a spread sheet of seasonal products, including
when I should develop the products and when shoppers would potentially buy
them. But my head was starting to swim
with too much information! I think for
now, I’ll just stick to my informal rule that I should start to develop
products at least 2 months before I think a shopper would need it. But of course that rule is subject to change
because my world is crazy and rules don’t last very long here!
