How's your business in October so far?

[KristianJessie]

How's your sales? I've got 2 sales in Oct so far.

It's not as quiet as September. I got 6 to 8 enquiries and many "Favorites" and hope they'll turn to actual sales later.

Good luck, everybody!

So far nothing much sales/favorites wise going on. But I am now getting around to putting more items in my store. This is my "Crunch Time" to do it because I have a couple craft fairs coming up, and I want my store to be fully stocked for both the fairs and holiday season. I have about another 30 items to add to my store, so I hope that helps with the sales.

Things are starting to pick up for me. Been pretty slow all summer. I think I am just starting to be seen, since I only opened my shop last February. My first holiday season coming up, hoping for a good one!

[FromSelenaJay]

Not very good. This is my first holiday season. I hope things pick up. I'm crafting my pants off!

[ArgamanDesigns]

I also starts to move
The idea is to stay in the creative flow with clients ..

I've closed my accounts on the local e-shops and I'm just selling on Etsy right now. It's hard to refer my customers to my Etsy shop. So it's pretty bad :(

1 sale in October. Worst month ever!
But working hard.

[PotsbyNives]

Ups, just sold an item! Very, very happy!

[MoonthrallTarot]

A bit meh sales wise, but it's par for my shop. 2 pieces were just shipped to Sweden- always happy with new foreign customers!

[RambleOnSupplyCo]

Doing pretty well over here! On track to be one of the best months yet :) hope things pick up with your shops soon!

I had 17 orders in October last year. I have 10 so far this year so if I continue at this rate, I have improved since last year. I would like to have sold a little more as I am a seasonal shop so I have to hit it hard for about four months.

recently updated my products number, just shipped my 1st order! very low visibility hence the sales though..

[RomaMiaTradingCo]

Welp, just got my first order of the month! Finally. :) But my stats are starting to look slightly better.

Hoping to up my social media game and add more items this month. So hoping for a better month.

[Former_Member]

Pretty good. I just sold a hand knit rug to my mom and my sister wants one too. I stay pretty busy.

[fishcouple]

Many small orders, waiting for the big ones...

Definitely better than the last year but I am hoping it could get better.

[PinkScissorsDesign]

So far, one order, but two purchases!

[ItsyBitsyPaperCuts]

Right on track!

[PaperBoundLove]

Doing pretty well too!

[CircusOfCelebrations]

Just last night I was comparing last year to this year, and I am already over my total sales for October last year, though at about 2/3rds of the revenue. I think there have been people returning who wanted to order last year but couldn't afford something or missed out. Also new products, not Christmas items have accounted for the higher number of sales. People are already starting to order gifts, though I do very few of those.
People who are shopping early have been so nice, so absorb the good vibes before those last minute, unreasonable people hit! Keep your customers updates with any delays, ship times, and remember to check the notes in every order!
Good luck everyone!

[Former_Member]

the worst month so far, very slow compared to Aug and Sep :(

[Former_Member]

Not good for me. But I've ignored my shop for a several months and am only a few weeks back into the swing of thing. Really hoping it picks up soon!

[SilverByMaggie]

I don't seem to be getting anywhere, working hard to get my inventory up to 100 I have 11 more to go, but honestly becoming very discouraged I am hoping this will be a good holiday season.

[Former_Member]

No sales yet but many views and favorites. Hopefully things will pick up closer to Halloween.

[UrbanSwazi]

No sales, not many favorites. I am feeling slightly discouraged. Afraid to add more items in case my shop items are not what people want.
