How's your sales in March?

[KristianJessie]

How's your business this month? It's very very quiet for me. What happen?

Do you think Spring Sale can help? 15% Off on all items now...

it's rubbish for me :-( xxx

Very quiet here. I'm trying to add more to the shop. I haven't had a sale in almost a week. :( Hoping things pick up a bit once I get the new additions in.

You both have lovely shops! Here's to hoping the best!

[KristianJessie]

Ginger - very quiet right? I almost lost all of my confidence...

Sales??? HHmmmmm, what are those?

[Interrobangirl]

This is comforting, I've had nothing in March! 2 sales in January and 3 in February, my stats are about the same and I've listed a few new things. At least we're in this together, I'm sure it'll pick up again soon!

Dead sales. Usually I could count on at least getting views but even that is not like it used to be.
Not sure if it's the economy or is Etsy growing so big that it is becoming impossible to be found? Lately, I have been hearing this comment from many artists on Etsy. Now I am doing better where I have work in brick and mortar shops where it used to be the opposite.

[KristianJessie]

Yes, I also think that it's hard to be seen in etsy. Just I don't know other online platform like etsy...

[Former_Member]

I have more outside sales than on Etsy

[autumnandindigo]

My views have plummeted. I used to wake up to almost 100, but now I'm in the low 20s if I'm lucky. I've had almost 200 sales since the end of October, with a few this month, but nothing this past week. I've started using Copious, in which I've had two there this past week, but nothing on Etsy. I'm hoping things will pick up again since it's getting colder on the other side of the world.

After a VERY quiet February, March has been better. I think it must depend what you sell....

[PeonyandThistle]

PS What is Copious?

[wildwomanbeads]

Very slowly creeping up, but I made three times as many sales at a fine arts show than on Etsy. Cultivating patience...

I've been working really hard at promotion and at my tags so this has actually been my best month

[Former_Member]

March has been slow for me.
January and February were brilliant though.

[Former_Member]

March has been very dead for me, as well. Although, I am working on some custom paintings outside of Etsy.

IMHO I don't know that many people can rely on Etsy as the only place to sell their items. Some people are very successful on Etsy, but I think that the majority of us need to look at other sources, as well.

March is down for me- I suspect it's a combination of tax time and the nice spring weather....

[Former_Member]

I got my very first sale so i'm not complaining :)

[Former_Member]

My sales started really high, I think I made 6 in one day then last week both my sales and views hit the toilet, not sure why, but I went from 30-50 views a day down to 5 maybe its just the month?? I don't know . I wish I could figure out what happened though.

[AtHomeWithLolly]

I have had 7 sales this month, and I feel blessed! I do participate in a BNS, but only 1-2 sales came from that. I see my views go down, then I renew, and list an item and they go back up a bit.

If I could figure out the secret behind all of this, I would SELL it! :-)

[Former_Member]

Mine were great the first week but they've been slow since then. I joined last year, but got my shop up and running in February.

[Former_Member]

Only 9 sales so far in March :( .... I too have noticed views are down ... I'm still getting favorited - it just seems no one is buying?

[Former_Member]

March was awesome for me. I met my monthly goal 5 days ago! But ever since I deactivated my Easter products, it's been pretty slow, and I expect the rest of the month to be slow as well. That's okay by me. I like using this time to stock up, make new products, and just take a breather.

[Former_Member]

I hate to say that I have been busy! Since I specialize in Weddings, everyone seems to be planning a wedding for Spring.

Some weeks not as good as others, but i definitely could use a little helper. Somedays its a little overwhelming.

Everyones shop seems like it has different peak times ;) good luck to all of you! I know we all work soooooo hard !!!!!!!!

[Former_Member]

No sales for me so far this month.
