BUSY - any one else??

I guess I was thinking things would slow down a bit after the holidays. My shop is probably 3 times as busy as I was before Christmas, like crazy busy!! Anyone else?? Being my first year selling, I was just wondering if this is a trend after Christmas, or perhaps some unknown publicity is helping my sales??

Re: BUSY - any one else??

I'm not ever busy, so maybe I'm not the one to ask. you have some cute valentine's day items. is that what's selling? maybe people can't get enough of spoiling their kids. now that I've seen your shop, I want to figure out who I can buy for.

Re: BUSY - any one else??

now that I've looked a little more at your shop you really could raise the price on your rosette headbands. they are super cheap an look like high quality. don't undercharge yourself.

Congrats! You know, maybe since Valentine's day is around the corner there will be an influx of shoppers, however, since the holidays have passed I am not seeing much action.

A fellow etsy seller whom I know is selling out her jewelry 5 pieces per day! It probably depends on the actual products you have available.

Re: BUSY - any one else??

Good for you! Are you able to tell from where the traffic is coming?

I'm not that busy either. I've had 3 sales this week which is wonderful, but been dry as a bone since Monday.

Re: BUSY - any one else??

I've been watching my stats, and most are just from Etsy search. I have really raised my SEO for google, and see around 15 - 20 hits from there per day. When I post new items on FB, I tend to see more views from there too. I have been working hard to add 1 - 2 new items each day. I'm working on redoing a lot of my photos too, since getting a new camera. But, I guess I'd better get to work on all of my orders at the moment :) Good luck in the New Year everyone!!

Re: BUSY - any one else??

I've had a good month so far too! Most of my sales have been from supplies - I think now that Christmas is over, people are taking time for craft projects. I don't know. I'm not complaining though!

I'm thinking of listing more destash supplies now, too. Partly, I think, cabin fever is making folks want to be crafty since the beach isn't happening for most northern climes. ;)

Re: BUSY - any one else??

I am swamped and have been since last may! I think our trick is, people are always having babies and getting married. Some of our items are seasonal (I love that some of your stuff looks very valentine's day ish!) but people get married and have babies year round, so we have the opportunity to always be busy! And that's a good thing!

I haven't had any sales since last month, so you are doing real well! Hopefully it will pick up for me, but I am in a saturated market.

Re: BUSY - any one else??

That is great news! You have some really cute stuff (and models) ! I really slowed down after Christmas, but have had more traffic lately. I needed the break though - I was making treats 14 hours a day for a couple of weeks....I was pooped! Good luck for the whole year through :)

Re: BUSY - any one else??

I'm in the exact same boat ! Perhaps there are a lot of January and February babies? My Facebook page got over 100 new likes in the past 5 days and I honestly can't figure out why.
