How was May for you?

[FlosCaeli]

Hi :-)
So my question is How was the month of May for you?It's petty much gone so you'll have a good view of the whole month. Did you made many sales, how was the traffic going? I'm pretty sad that it wasn't good for me I had just 1 sale :( So it was interesting for me if it's only me or just the month is slow...

Better than April! Hoping June is just as better as May has been.

[Former_Member]

Not so good - as Brandy said - hoping June is better.

I was happy.

Each month seems to be getting a bit better!
Made enough to cover rent this month, so that's incredible:D

Hopefully it'll keep on getting better!

Jealous Maria - but you totally deserve it !

Half the traffic I did in April, but one additional sale this month (12 in May) - although less money lol. But overall I'm happy considering I went on vacation for over a week and had to deactivate half of my items prior to leaving!

I had a bit more business than last month...but about the same as last year. I have about 100 more items listed than I did last year (up around 250 now), so it's rather frustrating.

It was a productive month for me!

I made my first sale. I created 20 new items and listed them (currently it shows as 13 items since I listed with how many in each items I had). I improved my photos. I worked extra hard on improving my listings. I also worked on listing/description/tag SEO too. I already have a new banner being worked on to try and get a clean/crisp look (still honing in on the colors being used). I am even in the process of designing a purse for myself as a marketing point because I always have it with me. Perhaps that new design I have will also be open for other people to get one of their own too! Just now need to get some materials (muslin) to test it all out, etc. Even my daughter gave me a thumbs up from my sketches.

Wow, just typing that all out made it sound like a busy month for me.

I did not make my usual revenue. But I also did not put in the usual effort, I hope it's related. That way, when I start working more again I hope to see better results.

For me it went a bit 'better, even if they were only 2 sales. Since February that it was not selling anything... v_v

[MaryPowDesigns]

The slowest month for me so far this year. I'm expecting a lot more business in June, especially with a School's Out sale I have coming up. Fingers crossed that May is the worst month of the year and things only improve from here!

May was very good for me, largely due to Mother's Day gifts. I hope everyone has a GREAT June!

[PotteryLodge]

May was pretty good for me. I received a lot of mothers day orders.

[Former_Member]

I was highly productive at the beginning of the month which brought me many traffic and two sales a day!

I'm happy with this month so far especially that my SEO is working currently.

I just hope to have few more sales before the beginning of June :)

Better than last May, and twice as much income as last month even though my views weren't much more than they were in April.

Was approached for an event in June, so we'll see how that goes, and invested in some new inventory so I'll have a better selection of higher priced items available in June.

On the downside, my laser printer finally ran out of ink and I don't want to spend the money to replace the toner even though I know it'll last for the rest of the year.

[hipposdream]

13 orders in May so OK but not as good as other months that I had last year.
But more happy with my shop now then I was last year so that is good !

[Former_Member]

May was great for me. I had more than double the amount of views of my previous best month ever on Etsy. I had more than double the amount of favorites of my best month ever.

And the second best month ever in revenue since 2006. And theres 3 days left and a good chance it could be the number one month ever.

[Former_Member]

Not over yet for me! The end of the month seems to be when a lot of people buy. 2 1/2 days to go!

[Former_Member]

The months this year just keep getting better and better for me :)
36 sales so far this month. Woohoo!!

[Former_Member]

This month I had 22 sales on Etsy and 2 off.....this month was so so. Feeling a bit frustrated because I have not had a sale on Etsy since the 24th, hoping June will be much better :)

[Former_Member]

A little slower than I would have liked, but I got a lot of things done around my house so it worked out!

[mylittlemookie]

62 sales...decent but a lot less than April.

[SweetSambolina]

Super Busy for my shop- 60 orders so far.

[Former_Member]

An excellent month...best month this year and better than December and up 80% on last May, with 3 more days to go!
