We had a good run on Etsy for exposure, the height of which was an Etsy pick of NY White Abstract which led an HGTV and Magnolia network producer to reach out to us. Miriam’s later work was on HGTV’s Who’s Afraid of a Cheap Old House episode.
We were hoping over time to generate a reoccurring revenue stream on Etsy with reproductions, but it never took off. We learned that the Etsy space is extremely competitive in the reproductions arena and the profit margin is slim. Etsy is a volume game in this art reproduction space, but more importantly, Etsy is ALL about keywords and algorithms and purchasing ads on their platform. As an individual artist on Etsy, you have to be all out, all in, and all about your Etsy store and know the algorithm and keyword game or you won’t be able to make significant sales. We didn’t have the kind of time, resources, or profit margin to make this type of investment worthwhile.
As such, we’ve decided to shut down Miriam McClung’s Etsy shop. We may at some point we mare offer a limited edition reproduction run for a special occasion or show, but that remains to be seen. Thank you, Etsy, for the opportunity to show Miriam’s work on your platform. Best to other artists on Etsy in 2025.
