Holiday Boot Camp Week Three: Bring on the Buyers

[#1]

Great job on getting halfway through Holiday Boot Camp! (If you’re not quite there, no worries! Keep following along at your own pace - that’s the beauty of it.)

Now that you’ve got your shop stocked and spruced for the holidays, it’s time to focus on keywords and marketing, two of the key ingredients to getting found by holiday shoppers. What are you doing to ensure buyers find your items this holiday season? Share your strategies below!

Also, RSVP for this Friday’s online video workshop, Bring on the Buyers: A talk with Etsy’s Social Media pro David Morgan, Editor in Chief, Alison Feldmann and Seller Education guru, Cheyne Little.

Thanks Shannon!
Especially for the part 'you can do it in your own time' as I have registered from week one and still haven't got the time to do any of the worksheets...
Probably that's why it's sooo difficult for me to bring on the buyers!!!!!

I'm having a season long holiday coupon code in my shop. I hope it helps with sales. I've posted it on my social media sites and I've seen a jump in views.

Busy weekend, posted 10 new items to my inventory, 2 of which have already sold. Used GoogleAds to write my titles and tags. Also, posted all my new items in the team threads that I am on for increased exposure.

I've missed all the workshops so far. Going to see if they were recorded.

I have been editing and posting, and the home we made an offer on 60 days ago looks like it will close mid November. Not only do I have to be organized, but I need to relocate and reorganize quickly. To begin I am lightly loading boxes and replacing on original shelves. (I have 1,500 books to relocate as well not all for sale here.) I plan on having 1-2 days to personally relocate my inventory and shipping supplies. We are moving less than a mile. I have priority mail boxes in assorted sizes, tape and labels ready. I need more bubble wrap, tissue paper, and packing paper. I have not offer gift wrapping as of yet. This I will set up once I am fully moved.
