Cyber Monday is working- a little shocked LOL

I didn't bother with Black Friday at all- thought it would be a waste of time. I got a couple of sales over the weekend, but less than usual and less views too.

So last night (about midnight UK, 7pm EST), I thought- "let's just see...." - I added a line about cyber Monday to my shop announcement with a 10% off coupon code. I then changed tags/titles/descriptions for my TWO, yes only 2, top viewed items of the week (also my best seller). Then I went to bed.

I have woke up to 2 orders in the last 7 hours!! Only 1 has used the code, but the words "Cyber Monday" have brought almost 200 views through search in that time as well!

The changes took around 10 mins to make- and from a total sceptic here, believe me,I recommend it! :-)

Re: Cyber Monday is working- a little shocked LOL

Well done! This is my first Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale and the views are higher than usual. The treasury teams are very active and nicely promoting some of our new work with it.

It's fun being a part of this if nothing else. I hope you all make sales during Cyber Monday.

Don't give up Amy, the day has only just started, especially in the US :-)

Jenny- glad you're having fun, exposure from treasury trs can be great, I just don't have the time to participate!

Well done! I am running a little Black Fiday/Cyber Monday promo of free shipping on selected items and I am get an increase in views. Its my first year taking part so even if I don't get extra sales the exposure from it is good.

Re: Cyber Monday is working- a little shocked LOL

This is my first Cyber Monday/Black Friday on Etsy. I didn't bother with offering a sale on Black Friday, but I had lots of views. I took the time to add Cyber Monday to my tags and created a coupon code to offer today. I hope I get at least one sale, too! :)

Re: Cyber Monday is working- a little shocked LOL

I got a lot of views on Black Friday but no sales. I added the Black Friday Etsy tag to a handful of items but none of my search views came up with that. On Saturday I sold six items and my views that day were double what they normally are. Yesterday my views were high again but no sales. Last night I changed the Black Friday tags to Cyber Monday Etsy and added the words to the titles of those same items. I've gotten four search views with that term (out of 17 views overnight). Finding 17 views first thing in the morning is good for me. Usually the number is less than 10 and steadily increases throughout the day.

Re: Cyber Monday is working- a little shocked LOL

I kind of ignored Black Friday too and changed the tags and titles of a couple of items to promote my Cyber Monday Sales, but so far no good. My stats tell me that I'm having more visits, but not from "Cyber Monday Etsy" tags. And, of course, no sales. Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing wrong... Let's be optimistic and see how it goes during the rest of the day.

Re: Cyber Monday is working- a little shocked LOL

I added black friday and cyber monday to most of my items, and haven't gotten a single view from that, let alone a sale.

Re: Cyber Monday is working- a little shocked LOL

I have been getting sales, but I don't think it's because of the black Friday our cyber Monday tags. I haven't been getting any search views from them.

That's great to hear, congrats! I did the same last year and it turned out to be one of the highest volume days I had had since I had opened my shop. So far this time around I have lots of views which I know should turn in to sales...let's hope :).Happy Cyber Monday people!!
