I've got only 2 sales in August so far. Very quiet this summer. Low views and feedback too.

I think people are enjoying their summer holiday very much.

How about your shop?

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

Yes, my shop had only had 1 sale in August. None in July. Very disappointing. My sales have gone down since last year. Not sure why? I have try to join teams to promote my items, learn from others, and try making new items. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Yes- people are enjoying their summer, so that may explain the slow sales.
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you!

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

My sales are way down. But that's okay because it's giving me the motivation to work even harder. I tend to get a little laser focused when I have a problem to solve. So, it's just the kind of tension I thrive on. I would like to know why my sales are down though. That way I'd know where to focus my intense efforts. IJS

August has been a slow month in views and sales.
Should I blame summer holidays for this or is it something else? I don't know. I wait to see what happens from September on.

Good!

I sold 8 items so far in August.
On average I sell 10 items per month, with the summer months being the slowest.

Can everyone check to see if their "Browse Button" is at the top center of almost every page you go to. Mine has been gone for a week and my views are way down.

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

My Browse button is where it should be.
I cannot imagine that button being or not being there would make a difference in your shop's views.

I've really been working pretty hard to boost my inventory & my sales... I've had 11 sales this month! It seems like adding new prints is working! Although I'd like to see more progress even than that. :-)

My sales for August are 4 but fortunately they are a higher price point so that is good. They were in the first half of the month. It's been quiet again for these two weeks.

Been promoting and making some inventory for the holidays. Happy sales everyone.

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

So far this month I've had 14 sales which is about what I've had each month this summer. I'm hoping it picks back up in the next month or two.

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

I've sold 31 items this month which is awesome. I average around 20-25 sales per month (not including the holiday season) and would really like to average about 30. So I'm happy to have reached that goal this month.

I'm also at 497 sales, so I'm excited to see if I'll reach the big 500 this month or next month!

I had 2 sales last week. I'm happy now. And I feel excited about the coming holiday season. I have a lot of new items like scarfs and necklaces which I did not have last year :)

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

I don't know what is going on this August! I have 2800 more views than last year but down 24 orders ($1100 in sales) I really hope that people enjoying their summer and starting school is why things are going so slowly. I have even lowered my prices to what they were a few years ago in hopes to stir up more business again and am working on new inventory and designs to freshen things up. My last attempt will be to add more "ready to ship" items to the shop, in case the issue is waiting for the order to be made. Here's to hoping all of us have a much more profitable September.

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

Thanks you all fort posting your shop information. It made for an interesting and informative thread.

For the month of August just past my views and favorites were down just a little bit by comparison to last year's August. But my orders and revenue numbers are up by comparison to last year's August. From what I've seen everywhere online the views and activity are down.

Re: How's your sales in August so far?

I've had no sales. Some recent favorites...not exactly generating a lot of traffic. I'm guess it's because I'm new? I don't know....any feedback is appreciated! Getting ready to start posting holiday items though!
