Etsy Insights: Your January shop checklist and calendar

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

Hi all!

I’m Isabella and I work on Etsy’s Community Education team. My team is focused on sharing educational resources across our Community spaces via our seller programming.

Every month we’re sharing a monthly guide to help you prepare your shop for success. Here are a few highlights from this month’s checklist:

Prepare for the new year with our latest Marketplace Insights guide on early 2023 shopping trends, based on industry forecasting and Etsy search data.
Double-check your processing times to make sure they’re up to date, especially if you adjusted them during the busy holiday season.
Simplify your tax prep and bookkeeping with money-saving deductions and tax estimates from Quickbooks. Plus, Etsy Sellers save 50% off their first 3 months. Terms apply.
Try Planet-Friendly Packaging by EcoEnclose to show the environment some love with 100% recycled materials or certified responsibly-sourced paper. To shop, visit etsy.me/planet. You can also showcase your reused packaging to your buyers with this sticker.
Bring holiday buyers back with a thank you coupon. Encourage your customers to come back and make a second purchase from your shop by sending them a small discount after their order. Create your coupon.

Key dates for early 2023

Jan 1: New Year’s Day

Feb 1: Black History Month

Feb 14: Valentine’s Day

March 1: Women’s History Month

March 17: St Patrick’s Day

March 19: UK Mother’s Day

Hi, customers may not want to pay $9 shipping money for a $2 product. You can make the cargo money for free by loading your jewelry in a team. This way, the algorithm will make you stand out.
