Should You Have One or Two Etsy Shops?

How do you decide when it makes sense to have more than one Etsy shop?

Have you ever considered opening a second Etsy shop? If so, you’re not the first one! This is a topic that comes back regularly between makers on Etsy forums, Facebook groups, and really everywhere else on the internet.

The idea usually comes from realizing that you know how to make (and maybe already sell) different kinds of products and you start wondering if they all belong in one shop or if you should open a second one (or split the one you have into two).
