Blackburn Labs Partners With Simply September

Blackburn Labs is always looking for ways to help our community as well as encourage entrepreneurship. That is why we are so excited to announce that we are partnering with crafting and lifestyle influencer Simply September to create a business calculator for crafting entrepreneurs!

The social ecommerce business is booming. In 2018 Etsy sold $3.9 billion in goods (a 20% YoY growth) from almost 39.5 million buyers (a 18% YoY growth). In fact, since 2012 the number of buyers on Etsy has quadrupled. Etsy is not alone, Shopify sold over $100 billion in goods in the last year. So yes, social ecommerce is alive and well, and a rapidly growing industry. In fact, there are 2 million active sellers on Etsy and 800k stores in Shopify. That’s nearly 3 million sellers who could use help and insights from someone like Lindsay as Simply September.

The app launches soon, though no official release date has been set yet. We are leveraging our new partnership with Back4App to speed up the delivery process. Rest assured, both teams are hard at work on this project, so stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks.

With a customized and specialized business calculator, available for free by Simply September and Blackburn Lab’s, all these sellers will have an great tool at their disposal to make their businesses more efficient. Pairing Lindsay’s crafting knowledge and community support with Blackburn Labs’ ability to make easy-to-use apps, we look forward to delivering a tool that will make the lives of millions of entrepreneurs more profitable.

We strongly encourage anyone interested in gaining creative inspiration and crafting insights to follow Simply September on Pinterest, Facebook, or Instagram.
