How's your business in December so far?

How's your christmas sales?
I've got 4 sales so far. It's very quiet for me compared with last 5 years.
I believe more orders and rush orders will come next week and the week after.

I wish I could educate online buyers that "Order Early, Arrive Early ".

Good luck, everyone !

I sell jewelry too and it's been much slower this year than the last three years for me. It has picked up a lot the past few days, but really inconsistent and still much less than last year. Disappointing for sure, but I'm hanging in there! Good luck to everyone!

My Oct and Nov. were completely dead so I'm thankful that I had several orders last week. Not as much as I would like but every bit helps. It seems as though this Christmas time is a bit rushed and there isn't much time for shopping...maybe that's just me.

I was new last year so obviously I am doing much better than last year. However, I felt my view has been down sharply since last month. I've always had around 100 average views daily but today, I only have less than 40 even though I made 2 sales.

I just thought there are something wrong here, but I don't know what is it.

Yes, very slow for jewellery ...

I still believe sales will boost very soon..

Just one order so far, it's been slow. I wasn't able to schedule craft fairs like I did last year, so I imagine it will continue to be slow. Hopefully I can do something to boost my sales in the next year.

Still waiting for the first customer...coming at my new shop.

5 order which meant 8 products sold last December and just one so far this December. However, in the last month I have got my first feedback!! Only had 11 orders since I opened, but I do this on a very part time basis - so can't and don't expect much more than this.

I have really busy days and then quiet days. It's not that much different from every other month at the moment.

This is my first real holiday on Etsy. I opened end of November in 2014, but only had a couple things up. I've made 6 sales in December, and had 9 sales in November. Which for me both are considered busy.

The end of November and December have really picked up since the lull I experienced after the summer. I was getting 0-2 views a day and absolutely nothing else. I added more items and put up a holiday sale and that seems to have helped! I'm feeling more encouraged to keep working on my shop now :)

I just ran my numbers comparing the last 30 days of this year and of last year. I've been working much harder on my social media marketing so my views and favorites were much higher. But my orders and sales are still down by a whopping 25%.

I started to sell printable goodies for planners 2 months ago and I got my first sale yesterday! It is a huge milestone for me personally.

This is actually the worst December I've had since I opened in 2011. Not sure what's up this year.

I've had two small sales this month. I'm counting this as my first Christmas on etsy as I had just started last year so I'm ok with not having more sales and I have a lot of ideas of how to do things differently next year.
