Declining Views and Sales

I would love to hear opinions and critiques on my shop as my stats have declined in the past month and I feel like I am not being found in searches. Any and all help is appreciated.

Re: Declining Views and Sales

You have great merchandise. I can't imagine why your sales and views are down. Do you use search ads? I'm not sure but depending on your time frame it could be that the relatively new search ads feature could be impacting your views negatively if you aren't using them. I used them for a few weeks and my views went up but not my sales...

Re: Declining Views and Sales

Thank you for the response. I do use search ads and in all honesty, I do not think that they do a thing for me. I check my stats all the time and I had not yet had a single sale because of them (over 6 months of running them now). I decided to wait until after the holidays and if they do nothing, I will just scrap the whole idea of them altogether.

Not sure the reason for low views and sales recently, but things are not improving yet. Fingers crossed for the Holidays!

Re: Declining Views and Sales

I tried search ads and had the same results. I did have some sales but none of them were from the search ads. I have ended my search ads because I didn't find them of value. What I think is the major issue is that Etsy has entered the same zone that E bay reached several years ago when so many people were selling so many things that it was incredibly hard to get noticed in some of the bigger categories...Not sure how that will work out for most of us Etsy sellers....

Re: Declining Views and Sales

Greetings Susanna,

I just took a visit to your Etsy Shop. It is original, unique, and I felt very good about my visit.

However, I did not find a link from your Announcement page to your About page. Here's the link to Etsy's explaination of how having an About page helps.

In my opinion have a well written About page with its 5 photo slide show does a lot to overcome an Etsy Shopper's SKEPTICISM.

For more information please see my reply to:

"Am I undervaluing my shop?"

Please convo me if you have any questions or just to keep in touch.

Best regards,

Mike M.
