How's your business in November so far?

[KristianJessie]

How's your sales? I've got 3 sales in November so far.
I started to be busy with christmas orders in early November last year.
Don't know why it's so quiet ...

I'm doing much better than last year, but the first week of November was much worse than last year. I'm guessing things will end up evening out by the time January rolls around. Here's hoping your sales pick up closer to the holidays. :)

No sales at all! Last year, i started making sales in november. First sale happened in october last year. Low views too.

This Nov is a big disappointment. I had several custom orders by now. I have only had 4 orders. Am in 2 shops and its slow for me there too. Something is up with the economy.

[StripesAndChevron]

It sounds like everyone is having a slow November. It may be because so many new sellers have joined Etsy - there's many more shops to choose from so less to go around?

I was worried as well until I looked more closely at my sales in November from last year - it really didn't pick up until a month before Christmas, around the 24th or 25th. Be patient!

I have only had a total of 4 sales this month. This is the first year I will have a shop open during the holiday season. I am a bit disappointed, but it does seem like quite a few shops are down in sales this year.

Good Luck to all!

Quiet here, only 5 sales this month.
Glad i've got a december craft fair for my goodies to go to.

But people must be shopping...my local courier chap today told me he has been delivering sn average of 160 parcels daily for the last three weeks. Said he usually only has half that. So folk are shopping round here it seems.

This November is a complete disaster so far!
Compared to the last year, it is a dramatic decrease in shop views and in orders!
We don't undersyand what's going on with Etsy.

Did anyone try to contaact Etsy administration regarding this issue?

Really really quiet - too quiet

[CaliforniaCrownJewel]

My sales are really good for me - each month better than the last - I already have 17 sales and still have 2 more weeks til the end of the month. I try to list something everyday - at least one thing. I also am constantly tweeking titles, descriptions, tags, and even prices. I'm thinking that title & tag adjustments coupled with the new listings help to keep my shop at the top? I may not know what I'm talking about, but it seems to be working for me.

November started really good for me, but now is very sloooow. No sells since few days :(

[Former_Member]

It was slow, but finally I have 3 sales this month already.

[GalacticAffair]

For me traffic has been almost non-existent. I added a new item yesterday but still not much traction. Thinking that once I update some photos and add the rest of the products I recently made a social media blast will boost things back up. But I haven't had a sale in months :(

[TanahsJewelry]

Only two sales despite adding new items and renewing expired listings. Views are terrible as well. I reopened this shop earlier this year and it's just been super slow😕

[UnexpectedTreasure]

I've only had four sales so far this month but they've had multiple items so I'm happy. :)

[DreamyPatternsShop]

I've had 20+ sales this month, which is a new record for me! Last year I had 5 sales in November. I'm very very thankful! Hope the sales will go up for those who've had a slow November start..

[KristianJessie]

Happy for those having good business this month !

[Former_Member]

November started off slow but is picking back up as these past couple days has been busy with sales & activity.

[Former_Member]

Finally I reached 50 sales in Etsy. And this month already I have 5 sales. Actually it's 4, but the same client without contacting me ordered more. So, I'll refund her the amount of second shipping.

[TheFamilyJewelsWI]

My sales are a little behind last year but still doing well. I really wonder if Amazon is affecting us. Any thoughts??

[Craftegui]

I have 11 sales this month but I think I will take advice from what Jewel said.

[Former_Member]

My sales are quite strong this November considering the amount of time I've spent in hospital this month.

They are above my predictions

[kzannoart]

I have had six sales but overall my sales and views are down and I have been on Etsy a long time. I am quite disappointed with 2015 here.

[Former_Member]

well, No sell at all. don't know why --_--''

[MoonthrallTarot]

Awesome! 10 sales so far this month. One of the best ever.
All stats for 2015 have surpassed last year already.

I do have promoted listings on since last month. Only 1 sale shows directly through that. So I couldn't tell you if they are responsible for getting new people in.
