I have 7 sales so far.
Not bad actually but still far below my target. I found some jewelry sellers have 7 sales a day. Ok... don't look at others' record next time.

I opened March 8, 2012 - Zero Sales.

Re: How's your business in April?

8 sales this month, not the highest number ever, but still above the 1 or 2 I got the first few months I was open.

I am very pleased, though, because I have a few return customers who ordered larger than normal amounts of tea, and a 4 item order, so my revenue is the highest it has even been. Yay for progress in any form it takes:)

Re: How's your business in April?

Been very slow,for the last 6 months I have doubled my sales each month from last year but I just now made the same at last. My daughter works for a national retail chain and their sales are down too...........? Politics? People get nervous right before the nominations......?

Re: How's your business in April?

3 sales. . . 7 away from the magic 100!. . . Thought that I would have reached that number earlier in the year, but so far these four months have been slow... Maybe May will bring me some more?

Re: How's your business in April?

My shop is only 6 months old. I averaged 1 sale per month until March, when I got 4, and so far for April I have gotten 5. Which I am happy for, but haven't had a sale since mid-April, so I'm hoping more come soon! =)

Re: How's your business in April?

I didn't really know what to expect. I've been open a month now and have had 5 sales. I'm happy with that although would obviously like it to be a lot more ha ha, I sell on another site which has also been slow this month so I'm hoping May will pick up a bit!

Re: How's your business in April?

Just one - only three since I opened in Feb. My views are up though as are my SEO's and I received a really nice feedback comment this month - so hopefully things will pick up.
I noticed that those with the most sales are mostly shops that have been open for a while and have a lot o inventory - so I`ll keep working on that!

Re: How's your business in April?

I've had 7 sales in April too! Soon to be 8 with a reserved listing.

I'm super happy considering I only have 32 items in my shop.

Re: How's your business in April?

I had a 4 small sales at the beginning of the month...then nothing. I am now dedicated to learning as much as I can!

Perhaps in US people had to pay their federal taxes - by April 15th.

Re: How's your business in April?

I had 7 last month and 9 this month, so getting better! Plus I went away for a week this month so must have lost some sales then :-( I always get most of my orders at the beginning of the month, maybe people get paid end of month? Im excited to see what I get in May! Fingers crossed it will be a good one for everyone.

Re: How's your business in April?

7 Sales this month, my goal was nine. Feb. I had 3, then 6 last month so to keep the 3s going I was shooting for 9. However last month was 3 times the revenue than the previous month and this month (with only one more sale) was almost twice last month. So no complaints here!

Good luck all with your sales!

Re: How's your business in April?

I've had 9 sales this month. It has been my best month yet on Etsy and I'm experimenting with branding and photography, which (I think) I am constantly improving. :)

Better than March and more than enough to keep me busy and turning away business. No more Mothers Day delivery orders...

Worse month this year so far. I moved this month though so I have not listed any new items - that always hurts.

Re: How's your business in April?

I did better in March, but April has come around a bit towards the end. I was hoping for 2 more sales, to hit the 100 sales mark by end of month, but considering I had a 5 day dry spell in the middle of the month, I'll take what I have!
