For Vintage - what works better Etsy Ads vs Discounts ?

[DesDesVintage]

Hello Vintage Sellers - was wondering what your experience has been during the last 6-12months when it comes to Etsy platform marketing, namely offering discounts or paying for Etsy advertising? Has one of them gotten a better sales results? Love to hear your experience!  

Thank you

Hello,

I have never done discounts. Ads have been great for a while but not lately. Sales have been way down since the end of February.

Good luck.
