Ornaments are the most concentrated season in craft: ceramic and wood blanks bought by the case in September, pressed and personalized through November, and eighty percent of the year's revenue landing before Christmas. The makers who win December planned it from last December's numbers. MadeKeeper is where those numbers live.

Say you press 30 ceramic photo ornaments:
At $15 each you keep $13.09 an ornament — and next September, when you're deciding between two cases or four, the answer is last November's sell-through, sitting right there in the books.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Each personalized order logs with its design, blank, and ship-by date — a queue you can sort instead of a pile of screenshots. Stock counts run down as you press, so you'll know when the case is about to run out mid-season.
They run like any personalized piece with the customer's image attached to the order — highest sentiment, highest price tolerance, same honest cost math underneath.
Many ornament makers bolt on spring and wedding lines using the same blanks-and-press economics. Run each line in its own channel and the ledger will tell you if the off-season earns its bench time.
