    BEST & WORST SELLERS IN MY STATIONERY SHOP!

    they're some of the best selling and worst selling items in my shop

Transcript

Some of the best selling and worst selling items in my shop. So starting off first with single stickers, by far, the most popular sticker is the my emotional support water bottle sticker. I've had people buy, like, five of these at a time. They're very well loved. And then the least popular sticker in my shop, it's kinda funny because I keep it up here because literally no one even gets it. They're the little butterfly clips from my y two k collection from, like, two years ago. It's honestly not really my favorite either, so I get it. Next worst the sticker sheets, the plant lover sticker sheet is definitely the most popular. I've restocked this so many times. The least popular is honestly really surprising to me because it's actually one of my personal favorites, and it's the morning routine sticker sheet. I feel like this is just a little bit of an older sticker sheet, so not a lot of people really know about it, but it's so cute. The plant lover bookmark is definitely one of the most popular items in my shop in general. The one more page letterpress bookmark hasn't really been around as long as the plant lover bookmark, but it is a very, very close runner-up. All of the bookmarks do pretty tier, but the one that probably is my worst seller would be the spicy letterpress bookmark, which also big surprise because when I launched my letterpress bookmarks, I actually thought this would be the most popular. My number one best seller in the doodle pad category is the squeeze the day doodle pad. This is a great to do list doodle pad. I can definitely see why people love this one. And then my worst seller is probably the you're the icing on the cake doodle pad.
