Merry & Marketable
Your ETSY Holiday Sales Prep
Get your ETSY shop holiday-ready, increase your order value, and head into the busiest shopping season with a plan.
Meet Heather
I’m Right Here in the Trenches With You
I’m Heather—a multi-six-figure Etsy seller who has been building and growing this brand on Etsy for more than 10 years. But here’s what I want you to know: I’m still in the trenches, too.
I’m not teaching Merry & Marketable from the sidelines. I’ll be working through this holiday prep right alongside you—looking at my own products, finding ways to increase my average order value, getting my listings and shop holiday-ready, planning my offers, and preparing for the busiest selling season of the year.
Because even after 10 years and multiple six figures in sales, I’m still learning. Etsy changes. Customers change. What worked last year may not be what works this year. And I believe growing a successful business means being willing to keep learning, testing, adjusting, and getting better.
That’s really what I’m all about. I don’t want to stand on the other side and tell you what you should be doing. I want to roll up my sleeves and do the work with you.
So when we go through Merry & Marketable, we’re doing this together. We’re getting our shops ready, trying new things, making smart changes, and heading into the holiday season more prepared than we were before.
Because no matter where we are in our Etsy journey, there’s always another level to grow into.

FAQ
We officially begin Sept 9th. You can enroll n ow and your training will begin when Merry & Marketable opens.
When does the Course Start
1
The lessons are intentionally short and actionable. Most are designed to be approximately 5–12 minutes so you can learn something and then go implement it.
How long are the training?
2
No, the training is recorded which you will have access to until Dec 21, 2026. We will have a private Facebook group just attendees so I can answer any questions promptly. I will also be going live in there every day of your training. Each section is called a Module but you could break it up into Days.
Is this a live program?

Do I need Canva
4
You do not need Canva for the standard Merry & Marketable experience.
If you purchase Merry & Marketable + Toolkit, the editable design templates will be provided through Canva. A free Canva account should be sufficient for the templates unless otherwise noted.
Is this only for experienced ETSY sellers?
5
No. However, Merry & Marketable is designed for sellers who already have an Etsy shop and products to sell. We're focusing on preparing and improving what you already have rather than teaching you how to open an Etsy shop from scratch.
