How's your Christmas business so far?

[#1]

I've got 8 sales in Dec so far. I think all of them are holiday gifts.

Dec of last year, most of the sales came after 10th or even 20th Dec. I hope people understand that shopping on internet is different from shopping in store. Order has to be placed early and mail delivery takes time.

Anyway, good luck to all of you !

I'm way ahead of last year's views and sales so I can't really complain. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to be a little busier though :)

Your shop is lovely!
Your shop is still young, please don't worry.

I've had a few sales, but a lot slower than last year...economy??
Hoping things pick up soon. Best of luck to all and Happy Holidays!!

Just four sale so far. With my inventory so large this year I am hoping for a big holiday rush. I have been listing like crazy and I am offering ten percent off Storewide, also. Good luck everyone and Happy Holidays!

This past week has been really busy for me, both online and at a local show - it's probably because this weekend is the deadline for christmas orders for me though, and definitely better compared to last year. After this, orders will need to have express post shipping in order to make it safely for christmas.

My December has been really good, but most of my sales this year have been off of Etsy. I wish I could bring in more revenue through my Etsy shop, but nothing I've done really seems to be working. That being said, I'm still really happy, overall, with the number of sales I've had when offline events are factored in.

Etsy revenue is about 1/4 what it was last November + December, so far.

This week-end was great, 8 sales in 2 days!
So far 13 sales this month. Can't be happier considering my slow October and November :)

Had 4 sales and someone asked me to hold an item 1 week until payday. I did but have not heard since. I held for 2 more days then put it back for sale. Has anyone else been asked this? What dd you do?

[KiltedWoman]

I am doing better than last year. I worked on titles and tags all year and started using a different photo background recently. Seems to be working! I am also listing or relisting every day.

Hi,
I've had 37 this month... I think my best yet..
I do believe it takes a few years here of constant promoting and getting your name out there. I still would like more consistent sales, but I am hoping the longer I'm here, hopefully it will happen. Besides, I've worked too hard to give up!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

Sales are not great so far. Could be better. Happy sales everyone.

[TheCalicoCatFabrics]

I am probably not a good gauge as I sell fabric but december hasnt been great for me but November was rockin for me considering it was only my second month opening here on Etsy. I am assuming people are done making projects for Christmas thus it has slowed down..all my sales in December so far have been international sales weirdly??

[GrayHorseFarm]

First sale in Nov. Nothing yet for Dec.

[Former_Member]

A bit slower than last December. Still hoping to come close!

[PennyBirchWilliams]

November was very good for my shop: 4 times the orders & revenue of last November. Eight days into this December I've surpassed last December's total sales already. Hoping it continues for another week or two.

This is my busiest time of year since I make Christmas ornaments and custom things. I worked on SEO a lot this year, plus expanded my selection and number of listings, so maybe I'm coming up better in search.

[RefinedRuffian]

This is my first holiday season here and so far, it has actually been busier than expected. I sell higher end vintage jewelry and since Thanksgiving have been getting 1-3 sales per day (for my price point, I am thrilled with this.) Hoping it keeps up!

[Former_Member]

Not so great comparing to last year. Got only two sales this December. Adding more items though. Let us see what happens. I sell crochet and greeting cards.

[ImLaughingMyGlassOff]

I just got a huge commission from an in-person sale, so if its not in my shop already - I can't sell it.

January goal will be to build it back up!

[PaperAnansi]

I've had only 1 sale online so far but it's something I'm proud of. I've gotten a few requests for custom orders so hopefully it gets busier from here.

[Former_Member]

It's been slow but I'm not giving up! I love my shop!

[Former_Member]

I've been doing great this month. So far, I am already at 28 or so sales! :D
I hope every one has a great month!

Something else to look forward to....In January, there are A LOT of gift cards to be used!!

[hipposdream]

4 orders yesterday nigth !!!!.... I woke up as a happy shop owner..... :-)

[LeosLovelyTreasures]

I've had one sale so far this month, but a lot of views and hearts!
I really hope to get a few more sales this month. I'm working on updating my photos, adding new listings, and editing content. I hope it turns into success soon!

[starletta]

My sales in November and December have been amazing - much better then I expected! Hoping it continues into the new year. I also managed to hit my year end goal before the end of November, so every sale in December is an added bonus.

[TremoughGlass]

I'm very happy with my sales this season both on and off etsy. Currently 21 sales of multiple items so far this month here and two amazing record breaking craft fairs under my belt in the last 7 days. I can't quite retire yet but I think its going to be a good Christmas! :)
