What do you sell in your shop?
In my shop, I offer a variety of products that I design myself. It ranges from wedding invitations to festive details such as mugs and trays for the home.
Why did you decide to start an online shop?
I wanted to reach more people and make my designs available all over Sweden. Having a webshop allowed me to reach a wider audience than just my city.
When did you open the webshop?
My shop opened in 2013, which means I have been running it for 10 years now.
How has your online shop evolved since its inception?
I have worked on improving the product images and SEO to increase visibility. The latest features from Abicart have really helped me to design and customize the store more easily.
In which countries do you sell your products?
I mainly focus on Sweden, but my products also reach customers in Norway and Finland.
What made you choose Abicart as your e-commerce platform?
I chose Abicart, formerly Textalk webshop, partly because of the free period offered when I started.

Standing out and reaching the right audience has been a challenge. I have invested in SEO optimization and make sure my images and texts are consistent for a better customer experience.
How do you market your webshop?
I use social media like Pinterest and Instagram to share my products. SEO is important to be visible on Google.
How have you dealt with competition in the market, and standing out from similar online retailers?
I focus on creating unique products and being active on social media to build a loyal customer base.
What are the main benefits of running a webshop?
One of the best things is that my webshop is open 24/7 so I can sell even when I'm sleeping.
What are your future plans for your webshop?
I plan to continue developing my range and work more on search optimization. I also want to improve the design and customer experience.
What tips would you give to others who are thinking of starting a webshop?
