Chirp Chirp ... Why is it so quiet lately ????

[kzannoart]

My shop has been so quiet lately. No matter what I try, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, I can't even get any views? Anyone have any good advice ?

Must be summer vacation time!

I consistently get views in my shop everyday by just making the rounds. I favorite items, make treasury lists, add people to my circle, and post on Facebook and Pinterest. I also make sure I add a new item at least every other day (my items are small, so I can add regularly). It keeps the ball rolling.

Let's hope so

I think June has been quiet for lots of people. Just hang in there! Maybe keep listing new items?

My views have been down lately, but my sales are up. May and the first few days of this month I have sold quite a bit.

But today is very slooooow in terms of views!

Yes it does seem like it has been quiet. I know listing, renewing, treasuries, etc will get your views up, but sales are really what counts. I hardly had any views yesterday and no favorites, but did have one sale. It has just been really slow. I wish you all, the very best!

There aren't any shopping holidays coming up. It's a bit late to shop for Father's Day, and Etsy isn't known for being all that man-centric (I know - they are working on expanding this and there is really cool stuff on here for guys). Also, kids are out of school, so parents are thinking about much summer vacations, camp, activities, babysitters, etc. are going to cost them. Christmas in July might be the next big thing.

I'm having the same issue. Do you think that most of the traffic is from us as makers or the buyers? Also, how many views can I expect per day? I don't know what to expect :) I still don't know if my pricing is way off. I can't imagine lowering them because I would never make a profit.

Thanks for the Replies, I appreciate the tips and look forward to Christmas in July, meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy some sun myself.

yes it has been very slow :-( been doing the usual stuff too...

June has definitely been slower sales-wise than May (May was my best month since I started in January). As for views, June has been ok but there's always room for growth. Same as other responses though, I too have been keeping up the regular rounds.

Good luck everyone! See you at Christmas in July!
