Guinea Pig
I am starting an Etsy shop that specializes in guinea pig accessories. Yes, I know there are many people out there already, but they all sell the same stuff! Me and my team are thinking of creative ideas for products to sell. (we're seamstresses) We have already thought of making a guinea pig sling with a cute and comfy holder that is under your arm for the guinea pig. What would you like to see made, or what are some of your every day guinea pig inconveniences that we could over come with a new idea?
Thanks!!!

In selling market, to make yourself known, you must to:
1) know very well your product's destination (in your case learn all you can about Guinea Pigs)
2) know very well your customer types (see few statistics about Guinea Pigs owners: mens, womans, kids, how hard is to grow a such pet)
3) Guinea Pigs live about 10 years if they are kept in good heart (use that in a fancy way to convince you customers that you products may extend the life and well being of their pets.
4) know your competition, and learn from their (also from their mistakes)
5) be innovative and original (if you have already some guinea pig accessories, you can tell yourself how can be made better with less money). You can try some homemade toys or accessories, or even try to modify what you already have, "in a new light".
6) meet your potential customers on forums and clubs.
7) ask vets opinions about guinea pig's life style and health, and try to tune your products in those directions
8) try to figure that are some types of breeders that may have not a lot time to sher with pets, so they want a "simple" way to keep a pet. Here, imagine a product like aquarium where fish have all they need to live, with minimul interactions.
9) you can include in your products some gadgets to, kids love it, but also can be expensive (here you can check China's way -online- because is cheeper): autofeeders, weather mine-stations, etc.

Is it just like on etsy?
Answer
No, craigslist is not like Etsy.
Etsy is an online store-front, much like Ebay or even Amazon.com. You list what you have to sell, set a price, and people contact you online or more frequently, purchase what you are selling online. You get an email, and ship off the goody.
Craigslist is like a newspaper ad. You list what you have to sell, and many different people email you that they are interested in buying it. You personally respond to the emails / texts / phone calls, decide who you want to sell too, then meet with that person to personally deliver the goods. Rarely, you'll mail what you are selling.
Online storefronts are very good for small, easy-to-ship items that have high retail values. Art, collectibles, electronics, etc...
Craigslist is good for real-property, furniture and junk. Anything too big to ship is a good candidate for craigslist. Most furniture, vehicles, homes. Junk entails anything bulk and with low resale value. Most clothing, non-collectible books, kids toys, general tools, etc...
