An experiment to see if sales/coupon codes work.

I have seen quite a few discussions recently about if sales/coupon codes actually bring about sales.

Sadly, it seems that most people have not had great luck with coupon codes bringing increased traffic or sales to their shops.

So, I would like to give it one more chance.
For the next week, enter coupon code: ITWORKS to receive 10% of your purchase in my shop.

I invite everybody who would like to make coupon codes and post them here and see if it increases traffic and sales! Let's see if it works!

Good luck everyone!

Re: An experiment to see if sales/coupon codes work.

Hi, I am new to Etsy and the team. I just added a coupon code for 15% off from both my shops. JJZG and JJZG2. I was not going to because when I opened the shops I added one as a "grand opening" but it did not bring in any traffic.

Hopefully this this new one will help.

My JJZG shop does not have as many items as I thought I could add by now because I fell and hurt my hand so my pottery, felting, scarves, jewelry, etc. inventory is not available. I hope to get some done this weekend (it's already Sunday). I guess we can all use some help in bringing in the buyers. Thank you!

I find if you offer an incentive if they spend a certain amount of money it gets you multiple sales. I have free shipping if they spend 10.00 or more in my shop. I seldom get any order under 10 to 15.00 so i think it works. Beofre I offered that I was getting lots of people spending 5.00.

Re: An experiment to see if sales/coupon codes work.

My coupon code is THANKYOU15 for 15% off in my shop... sometimes I get a buyer taking advantage of it in BNR's or repeat customers. I include it in the message at checkout ;)

Happy sales everyone!

Yay!

Awesome! Any luck with your coupon codes yet?

None luck with my coupon code yet. Why aren't you people buying my stuff (just joking). But hope springs eternal.

I love the idea of incentives, like spend $15 and get free shipping. I can't offer free shipping because a lot of my stuff is heavy and fragile--dang you vintage glass! But I do offer a coupon code to my customers to encourage repeat business.

And if this doesn't bring in sales...don't be too discouraged. I see so many items on Etsy that I would love to buy if I wasn't a broke person!

Re: An experiment to see if sales/coupon codes work.

I listed a coupon code on the top of my shop and got a sale 1 day later. Not sure if it is related, but I haven't had a sale in 2 weeks, so I'm happy!
