Peer Production & the eco-system
• Peer network business for revenue generation.
• Etsy connects buyers and sellers together and takes a
percentage of each sale.
• The eco-system is a community in which everyone feeds off
one another.
• The company and the sellers have shared visions and goals
and collaborate together to reach them.
A more social, collaborative way to do
business…
• Communities and networks become markets
that drive products and sales through them,
creating a profitable eco-system.
• This model is not fueled by competition, but
more of a community like atmosphere.
• Commerce is being initiated by the community
with a more bottom-up approach based on real
needs.
Assets and Tools

User to User Distribution
• Etsy does not make any products and has no production
model. They rely on sellers to provide goods for the buyers.
• Individual sellers sell to buyers who seek out their
products.
• Eliminates the need to hire internal and external marketing
staff.
• Seller is responsible for packaging and shipping.
Funding and Revenue
• Peer network business for revenue generation. Etsy connects
buyers and sellers together and takes a percentage of each sale.
• Etsy has three sources of revenue:
– 20 cent listing fee
– 3.5% sales fee
– In-house advertising program called the showcase so sellers
can promote their items.
– It is smart to have a lower fee so not to drive customers away
to cheaper markets, but still high enough to make profit.
– New York-based Etsy has raised about $91 million from
investors including Index Ventures, Union Square Ventures,
and Accel Partners.
Etsy Business case presentation
Products
• Personalized products that are unique, creative and in high
demand.
• Customers more willing to search Etsy for meaningful items rather
than go to big box retailers.
• Etsy provides feedback and ratings on how your personal site is
doing.
Intellectual Property and Ownership
• Value: Trust, Safety and Governance.
• Etsy has an Intellectual Property Policy which
can be viewed here and has a Copyright.
• There is no profit sharing by Etsy, but the sellers
do share a portion of their profits with the
company.
Niche Goods
• Etsy hosts an eclectic mix of thousands of
different small businesses who sell unique
products all over the world.
• Each seller has their own niche market, which
allows Etsy to profit off a wide variety of products
areas.
• Even though each seller may only sell a few of
their own products, Etsy gains profits from a very
large number of different items sold by all sellers.
Profit Sharing and Incentives
• Win-win business model. When a sale is
made, both Etsy and the seller make a profit
and the buyer receives a product that is
desirable.
• Etsy doesn’t have to market, hold inventory,
ship merchandise or have buyers and
merchandisers.
