Site Renovations

Recently, we decided to give our site a complete makeover! While doing this, we discovered some of our products were listed wrong or didn’t work. If you encountered one of these scenarios, please contact us and we will give you a coupon for a discount on your next purchase. We are almost half way through our inventory and we will be adding new items along the way. Our goal here is to try and add new designs every month to not only grow our inventory, but to give you a larger selection to choose from! Once we get the site remodel complete, we will start running some sales and give you even more bang for your buck! We are still in the process of closing our Etsy shop and are wanting to get our site all up and running before our closing day. Again, check back often and watch us grow! Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you again soon!

Etsy Shop Closing

One year ago this month, we set out on an adventure to open an Etsy Shop to sell our decals. At the time, it seemed like a good thing to do, so we put our domain on a redirect to allow visitors to go straight to our Etsy Shop and not to our own web site. Recently, we were looking at our sales on Etsy, and even though we sold more than 100 decals in the past year, our sales figures were not enough for us to keep pursuing this venture. Etsy has a number of fees and charges that a seller must pay in order to put product online for sale, fees for advertising, fees for selling something, shipping and sales tax fees, and well, you see what’s going on here. In any event, even though we “made” lots of good sales and “made” a profit, the bottom line was, we didn’t even break even! The Etsy Shop is showing a tremendous loss in it’s first year. It took us a couple of months at the beginning, to even make our first sale and then after the Etsy Fees, materials and inventory purchased, not to mention the equipment for making the decals…it will take us several years before we start to see any real profits here and start to actually make money. So, that being said, we are closing the Etsy Shop and moving everything to our domain and web site. This way, we can make a few sales, eliminate the Etsy fees and we will see more profit quicker. Don’t get me wrong! Etsy was a great platform to springboard us out on our own. It may take some time before we get our feet wet here, but we can weather the storm a lot easier out on our own. Enjoy our new site and we should have the inventory completed soon. We have more than 75% of our inventory on line and ready to go. Thank you for hanging in there with us!

Closing our eBay Store

The decision was made to close down our eBay Store due to the lack of sales! We have had the store open for the past few months and we only sold 3 decals. To keep the store open, we had to pay $7.95 each month. When you look at our sales, we barely broke even (we had one refund in there as well, but that’s another story!) and there wasn’t enough justification to keep it going. In any event, all of our postings, thankfully, will remain, so our decals will still remain for sale and available, Out Etsy Store will still be going strong, so if you are looking for updated listings, be sure to check out our Etsy Store!

Delphi Decals Marketplaces on Etsy and Spreadshirt

Delphi Decals started as a small, at home business. Making decals for friends and family and not making a lot of money (because we were giving it away!). Then, due to health reasons, I was forced to retire, and between my retirement income and my social security, well, let’s just say it’s not much! We decided to setup Delphi Decals Marketplaces on Etsy and Spreadshirt. The idea came to setup an online ecommerce store and take it from there. We started with our web site at http://delphidecals.com and set it up to sell a few decal designs. We had a dozen or designs, but not much traffic. Then came Etsy! Our Etsy Store at https://delphidecals.etsy.com was setup and in March 2023, we began with around 20 designs. It took a couple of months before we got our first sale! Fast forward 6 months and we now have close to 100 designs and more than 40 sales under our belt! We then added a Print On Demand feature to our store that features t-shirts, hoodies, polos, hats and more. Our Etsy Store features some of these Print On Demand items. We setup a new Print On Demand store at SpreadShirt. You can visit https://delphidecals.myspreadshop.com/ to see a wide range of products. We will be adding more every week. Being on two Marketplaces, Etsy and Spreadshirt has fulfilled this for us! At Delphi Decals we carry a variety of decals for the Amateur Radio/Skywarn market. This is our top category and one that seen the most sales from our Etsy Store. We also carry Military, Christian, CPR and other niche decals. We also offer custom made to order decals, just simply give us your request and we will make them for you! Being an Amateur Radio Enthusiast myself, this is the main reason I chose this niche market to serve for my decals. I will be adding more decals every week. We are currently adding All 50 States as a Ham Radio/Amateur Radio decal. If you are an enthusiast, be sure to check them out!
