[Former_Member]

Hi there ALL!!! Im thrilled to join a new team here on Etsy and Im hoping to learn a TON from you all...as well as I hope I can share a thing or two.

My reason for this thread today is of a simple question...being a newer shop owner here on Etsy since 8/12 (first sale 10/12) Im not sure if I am marketing my shop well enough. What are some ideas that you all have for marketing?!?!?! I did some third party marketing online for my Etsy Shop, I do send out emails, coupons via mail and email, and I am active with promoting my shop via Etsy where you can chose your $ amount towards marketing.... I thought I was in the right direction, but I feel 150 sales, thus far is not good enough...ideas?!?!?!?!?

(I hope Im posting this in the correct place..)

thanks in advance,
April

April,

Honestly, 152 sales in 9 months is very impressive. It may not sound like a lot to you, but people struggle to get their first sale in the first few months of being on Etsy, and you've already surpassed people who have been selling for years (me).
Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. The sales will come more frequent with time. The longer your shop is around, the better the reputation you will grow.
