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!

Re: How's your business in October so far?

Really quiet! But reading through everyones comments it sounds like it might be usual for this time of year... im still new so working stuff out. Might use the time to work on new products...

Re: How's your business in October so far?

I just reopened my shop with new jewelry. Things are going really slow. I have a couple views most days not a lot of favorites. Hopefully I sell something as the holiday season picks up.

Not good at all indeed :-( I don't know why, maybe everybody is just saving for the holidays? :-) Oh well I just keep up the spirit and keep on adding new listings :-)

Re: How's your business in October so far?

Well, I'm hanging out here if that's any indication. July and August were really good, and I thought my shop had finally hit its stride. But for September and October, I've been back to 1-2 sales per week.

I have had no sales this month and this is extremely unusual for me since I have had my shop open since 2009. Thinking about moving to Amazon, not quite sure yet. What is going on with Etsy? Feeling disappointed.

I only opened in september after a 10 month sickness break. Had a little flurry then from folk waiting for me to re-open, but quiet now, only 2 sales for October so far.

Two sales so far. Very low, few activity.

I am quite discouraged and I don't know what to do.

Re: How's your business in October so far?

I was really hoping to average a sale per day in the run up to Christmas, since last Oct - Dec I was really busy and had only just opened so had a lot less stock. However, not yet achieving daily sales - 15 so far this month.
I just keep adding new items and promoting and hoping better sales will come soon :)

Re: How's your business in October so far?

I have got only 8 sales in October, I probably need to focus more on the seasons, winter clothes and what not. But it could have been worse!

Re: How's your business in October so far?

October has been surprisingly fantastic. I meant to announce my shop is donating 20% October sales again to Breast Cancer Research Foundation, as I do this every year, but even without that I will have another good donation to give this year.

My digital items are doing very well this year.

Re: How's your business in October so far?

I'm happy with my one sale, so far. It was a bit experimental, I've listed lots of single pairs of socks but tried out posting a couple sets of 3 pairs of socks and one of those sold. I have quite a few things I need to list but I just haven't had time!

Re: How's your business in October so far?

I have only had 2 sales this month. I am hoping to get some things done this weekend to vamp up my shop for the holiday season. I have only had my shop open since Feb 2015 so this is my first holiday season and I am looking forward to it.

Re: How's your business in October so far?

Pretty darn bad. But, I did just come back from my honeymoon. So for nearly 3 weeks I had notices all over my shop saying any orders placed after Sept 30th woudldn't be processed until after Oct 15th. I had about 2 orders during that time. Since then, things have started to pick back up again, but I'm still only at 1/4 of last October's sales. Ah well. Gives me more time to focus on making holiday back-stock.

hi denise, lovely goods you have!
just spotted a pair of earring for £2,200.00 & wondered if it was a typo as seems inconsistent with your other prices ;)

Re: How's your business in October so far?

Designed some Halloween items but sales was not good at all...

However, other things start moving. Just passed last month's revenue. Hopefully it will keep moving....

Also, reached 500 sales yesterday. Can't complain. :)

Re: How's your business in October so far?

My shop visits and favorites have been steady this month, but no sales as of yet. I'm hoping these will turn into sales as shoppers really get rolling with Holiday gift shopping. I've also planned for some Holiday craft shows & hope for in-person sales using the Etsy app.

Not one sale so far in October on Etsy. I'm hoping that business will pick up soon. I'm starting to get discouraged.
