<p>Q. Should you sell stock or custom pottery?</p>
<p>unofficial notes :</p>
<p><strong>Don't take one off custom orders.</strong></p>
<p><strong>One offs - take ages to do listings. Can be good for finding the right type of pot that is popular. Only usually work for very expensive pieces in the long run.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stock items - least stressful method. Can end up with stock you don't like. Hard to predict what people will want. Can't make sets of everything.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Made to order - can be good to increase sales with personalised stuff. Making plain pots to order means less stock sitting around. Can be stressful - no limit on orders.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Try combination - one offs to start, then other methods when find popular pots.</strong></p>
