Do you add to favourited the shops that add you to theirs favourites?

[RobertaValle]

Do you do this?
And if yes, you do this everytime or only if you like the shop?

[hipposdream]

No , only if I like the shop.....

[KiltedWoman]

I favorite things from people I think need some promotion and have an original product that I might want to come back and buy someday. My sister had an etsy shop and was convinced if she favorited 100 shops a day she would get more sales because they may reciprocate. Didn't work. She no longer has an etsy shop.

[EAGERforWORD]

I do not look at the shops of people who favourite my items. I do not look to see who has favourited my items!

[SimpleKnitShop]

I favorite a shop if I like the shop, or if I like their treasuries.

[Former_Member]

No. I only add shops to my favourites if I happen to like the shop.

I don't pay any attention to who has marked any of my items or shop as a favourite

[Former_Member]

I also only add shops if I really like what their selling, whether it's handmade or vintage.

[TheRoamingPeddlers]

I only add their shop to my favorites if I love it!

But if I have time and people favorite my shop or items, I try to pay back the favor by favoriting some of their items. It seems rude to just ignore it when people do something nice. After all, why not help promote their shop if they promote yours? :):):)

[LaurasLastDitch]

I used to, but the truth is, in the time it takes to look at who favorited my shop (or even to look at treasuries I've been placed in), I can do things that are more likely to help my shop, such as listing more inventory, other kinds of online promotion, or studying and tweaking SEO. I think it's a waste of time, and all it does is encourage those who favorite shops or items for the purpose of self-promotion to continue doing something that doesn't work. Skip it, I say.

[bigalhats]

i only favorite shops/ items if they speak to me and I love them

[Portobelloknit]

No. I do not look at the shops who favourite my items.

[Plektra]

I do check who has favorited me so I can see if they are sellers, buyers or have recently joined Etsy. I think it's interesting to see. But I only favorite back if I like the shop. But not as a 'thank you' kind of thing.

But it seems to me that the more I favorite, the more notifications about someone else's favorites I get from Etsy, so sometimes I bookmark a page or write down the shop.

[BlueHandsBoutique]

I favorite the shops of people that I want to order something from and I really admire what they offer.

[MICETTESGARDEN]

I fav the shops that appeal to me for one reason or another, and that sell items that I could buy some day

[Former_Member]

No... I don't even look at them usually. I did when I first started and being favourite was unusual, but I don't have the time to look into it that much now. Always nice to be favourite though! I use my favourites for things I really like (and would want to buy)

[GothicGraceJewelry]

I do check my feed when I have time and will view shops that have an interesting name. If I like what I see I will favorite - sometimes to help promote them and sometimes I will actually buy. This just happened today... I checked out a shop that fav'd one of my items specifically because of their shop name-so cool- LOVED their unique and creative items and couldn't resist buying two! I don't think I would have found them otherwise.

[PaperBoundLove]

I only add them if I really do like them! (:
I have another shop's account and I used to favourite so many shops and items just to do a favour for others. But when I really want to find back something from my favourites, I can't anymore. So now I only add those I really do love to my lists! :D

[Former_Member]

I AGREE WITH KRYSTAL & MARK..
I REALLY APPREICATE IT WHEN SOMEONE FAVORS MY
SHOP OR SOMETHING IN IT.

SO YES I LIKE TO RETURN THE FAVOR.

HAVE A BLEST DAY

[Former_Member]

No. That is stupid.

[Former_Member]

I used to but I don't anymore. I only fav things I actually like. So if I have time, I will go check out their shop and will fav something if I like it. But if I don't, I don't worry about it.

[Former_Member]

No, I only add shops that are pleasing to me aesthetically, which helps build a group of people that follow me.
