You can display your Etsy listings direct to your fans on your Facebook page. There are many apps out there. Here is a great one that we personally use that is simple and free! Just like the name suggests is very easy to use and even easier to set up. Entering your shop name is pretty much it! You also have some options to customize it if you wish but the default settings are great :)

Promote your Etsy store on Pinterest with this amazing app!
I was recently introduced to this pinterest promotion tool. It allows you to select what items you want to promote and then you sit back and watch the repins and likes flood in! It’s that simple and it’s a great tool to get maximum exposure for your Etsy items on Pinterest. This app is one of the top ranking apps in the etsy app section so check it out storewoot.com/join/
We love them not only because it’s a great app but any questions we had were answered instantly and I mean instantly! The first message I sent was answered in 4 minutes! I have personally used this site to promote our products and saw a huge jump in traffic from pinterest, remember people that traffic = sales….End of. On day two we had a number of sales right around the hour of lots of traffic coming in, after doing research one of the people who repined us had 32,000 followers and even some of them repined the pin that person made. It was at this time we had a spike in traffic and several sales all around the same time. I love finding new services like this as it’s an extra stream of traffic and potential revenue for our shop…every bit helps!

Don't forget to promote your treasuries by using team threads and games to get it out there. There is a limit as to how many treasuries a users can comment on in a day so take advantage of that by playing many of the treasury games that get you networking and in front of more people.

Changing your tags, creating sales for your shop and renewing listings at a specific time are so easy with this app.
We use and love more than anything the etsyonsale app, it’s wonderful! You can remove and add tags to all listings in one go, and schedule sales.
You may have seen many listings that display what the price used to be in the picture. They are listings that have been placed on sale using the etsyonsale app. If you sign up directly at the site you get 5 free credits to get started or if you sign up using the referral link of an existing user you both get an extra 5 credits, so you start off with 10 instead of 5. Feel free to use the code below to get 5 extra credits or do a search for an etsyonsale referral link, don’t just sign up, you should find a referral link first as you will get double credits on sign up.
