How's your business in May so far? I have got 10 orders from non-etsy buyers.
I know some of you will quit here after 18th. Wish you all the best !

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

My sales are down compared to last month. I find it's always slow over the summer for papercrafting. Hopeful with the new Stampin' Up! catalog going live in June my sales will perk up.

I have LOTS of retiring SU! stuff to list and have made up sampler kits from new card stock, ribbon and bling. Just waiting till June to list!

5 good sales in April, but much lower traffic than usual in May, with no sales. I did have the shop in vacation mode for almost a week last week, but I noticed the lower traffic prior, and it hasn't recovered since turning listings back on.

Better than April and trying to see if May can surpass March and becomes the best month ever.

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

Hello all, I have just recently opened up shop, not very technology savvy, is it out of the question to have yall check out my shop and maybe tell me what i can improve upon? Very very open to criticism. Thanks

Wornout, your shop looks great, but I would be careful with the trademark (team) items you have, unless you have licensing to sell for those teams.

You may get more response starting a new thread for a critique.

Kristian, we have had our best May ever and we have been here since May 2011. We continue to list and create new designs even when views and sales seem slow.

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

they are down, I do expect it with candle sales, but I also handcraft perfumes and room sprays and those sales are suffering too. I am hoping for the best and fingers crossed it will get better.
This is my time to prepare for fall too.

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

Hello All,
I just opened my etsy store over this past weekend. I have more items I will be adding. I have not yet made a sale, but I was hoping someone could review and see how my shop looks? Do you have any suggestions? I will take any constructive criticism. I appreciate all your help and value your feedback.
Thank you,
Shannon

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

My sales are down 82% compared to last year. I do the same things as before, and all of a sudden I get very few views, faves and sales. I wonder, if it is because I am not using the (fairly) new pattern option?? It is like Etsy is not directing any traffic to my little corner anymore. I am actually getting quite frustrated by the situation, and don't know what to change...

And I have already finished the second month without a single sale, unfortunately.

My sales were crazy this May until this week - now it is completely dead. Kinda depressing!!

I have the pattern site too - hardly get any views there - just an FYI.

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

Got my first two sales since re-opening my shop on the same day as each other! Really happy after being around for a while and not seeming to get too much interest ☺

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

May sales were slow for my shop, but April was a record breaking month for me. Sales seem to be on the upswing again in June. It was exciting to see the possible potential with April's sales. It's exciting to see shop growth.
