to change or not / 守舊或革新

Etsy有個好玩的地方,每個經營者都看得到自己商店的統計數字,包括來訪的人數和訪客來源,至於商品的受歡迎度則是公開的,這些資料對店家很重要。經營Little Room兩週,最有人氣的是第一個放上去的商品─一百種愛情,剛開始幾天大家好像沒什麼迴響,讓我會想改變商品的風格,結果現在回頭發現最初的作品受到肯定,我不禁想,要不要回去做類似的東西呢?我便能體會為何當紅的許多藝術家或音樂家最後會被同一種風格所限了。最後我在守舊和創新之間找中間點,反正明天還可以選擇更創新嘛!

There's something fun about Etsy. Every seller sees the shop statistics of their stores, including the numbers and sources of visitors on a regular basis. The popularity of items is made public to everyone. The information can be translated into very significant messages for sellers. Having run Little Room for two weeks, the most popular item so far is the first one--100 kinds of love. In the first few days, I had the impression that people didn't think especially highly of it. Thus I kept thinking up items of completely different styles. Now I can't help wondering, shall I repeat similar styles or themes? I finally understand why famous artists or musicians stick to the same style. In the end, I settle for a middle point in between. Well, I can always come up with something totally new tomorrow!
