Our items are nearly all made on demand. Production process takes 1-7 days and after that we ship it.
Hey @bill gator thanks so much for the kind words and the tips. Much appreciated.
If I could make a suggestion, try to narrow that production window as much as possible. If that means keeping materials on hand, or having a batch of them half-made for preparation as you wait for new orders you need to do whatever you can to make ordering from you as convenient as possible for your customers.
While "Made-to-Order" is a great thing to hear at a diner or restaurant, it's much less the case when it comes to clothing. People don't like to wait, so when you say 1-7 days, people hear 7+ days, especially because that is simply production, not even shipping. Regularly people are too impatient to even wait for regular shipping, I can't imagine waiting an extra week for production is something that might turn a lot of people away.
Honestly, with that long of a window and your low account status (Member), some people might honestly think you'll run off with a few orders that you get within that window. What, among other things, I'm saying, is a few giveaways, vouches, maybe an escrow-scarf would go a long way.
