How's your business in March so far?

[KristianJessie]

I have got 2 sales in March so far. It's very quiet in terms of sales and view traffic.
Well, it's expected. I got less than 5 sales same month last year.
March is not my month.

Hi, March is a bad month for me. In last 7 days I had no sales, and that's the first time! I used to have one sale each day. Hope next month will be better!

let´s just say nonexistent...... no sales so far and views are back where they were when i started out here, don´t really know what´s happening....
fortunately i´ve done good business outside of etsy so my month is not totally horrible...

We are unfortunately in the nonexistent boat too. We are a relatively new store and are able to use this slow time to add to our store but it would be nice to see a little more traffic that is for sure. It is hard to get sales when no-one is looking.

I'm having a very good month so far. Way better than last year at this time and so far, the best month this year. Very grateful and thankful that things are finally starting to pickup for me.

I'm having a rubbish March with only one sale!

[JewelMeShop]

Last week I opened my shop after 1 month vacation and had 3 sales. After that no views , no sales. I hope things will get better. In my experience May to July sales are always getting better.

I am new at Etsy.I opened my shop in January and no sales at all and almost no views.
I join this team in order to learn more about SEO and who to do things in order to improve my shop.
good luck for all of you

Mine teeters back & forth between high views with no sales and little views with tons of sales, so it kind of evens out my March so far :) Not as exciting as February, but I'll take it!
I'm still quite new, so I'm interested to see how my sales fluctuate throughout the year!

I had my first and only sale wayyy back in December, still trying to stay positive though! haha

Just one sale this month, so slow. Just added a few more notecards and lower priced items so I am hopeful for it to pick up soon.

[KiltedWoman]

Massively slow and now I am on vacation so March was pretty terrible. Hoping once the testing etsy is doing is over and people get their tax returns it will pick back up.

9 sales so far, i'm verry happy since i've opened a shop just a month ago! :}

[MelsCreativeWishes]

7 sales so far in March after a slow Jan and Feb. I guess people have recovered from Christmas spending by March

[Former_Member]

I am having a terrible terrible month too!

[Anthropologeek]

It is slow compared to Feb. Two sales so far... I hope it picks up soon! @Lori, what testing? Do you think the IPO thing is messing it up?

[LadyEosProducts]

Zero sales so far this month.

[MyNeedleCrafts]

It has been really slow for me too. Everything just dropped off about a week ago or so. I wish Etsy would hurry up and get their crap together.

[TripleStudio]

This month is not too bad... started to do some promoted listing and it helps.

[Former_Member]

No sales since December... Maybe I should start promoting?
Any thoughts?

[Former_Member]

Sales and views are in the crapper for me since March 1st. At least 10 of my items were in the first 2 search result pages due to much key word/phrase tweaking and now they are nowhere to be found. I'm not usually one to complain but it's tough on Etsy right now! Also trying to remain positive and hopeful.

[Foreverafterbeading]

Had an Amazing Sept.-Jan. But February and March have been terrible! Even worse than when I started, this is so confusing because I know a lot of other shops that are struggling as well. I've only been open for over a year so maybe I am just naïve to the ups and downs?

[Former_Member]

I did a St. Patrick's Day sale and that helped a lot. Discounted any inventory I had. February was pretty slow though. I did want to ask if Promoted Listings have helped you at all lately?

March is slow so far, but hey, tomorrow is another day!

[AncientBathandBody]

I have been reading posts by shops who have a ton of sales and normally get a lot of sales per day. Many of them have been saying that since Etsy has made so many changes lately they have noticed their sales and views have drastically dropped. I feel like in order to get views and sales you have to be on here 24/7 posting like a crazy person to get people to view your shop.
