Is it just me or is it slow at the moment? I went through a pretty steady patch which was great, but now it's dropped off. I have no idea why. So my question is is it slow for you too?
If I wasn't promoting so much in teams it would be pretty slow for me. I didn't promote today and didn't get much traffic. Today was also my first day back to college (I'm a senior this year!!), so maybe everyone busy with going back to school has something to do with it?
Yes! My views and sales this month are the lowest they've been all year. I was wondering if the reason was everyone's in back to school mode? Both the younger college crowd and the parents...
I'm sorry it's been slow for you guys too, but I'm also a bit glad I'm not the only one. I think it will probably pick up next month when everything has settled down again.
The ranking of your listings in Etsy Relevancy searches are changed for some reason. This does not mean you have done anything wrong.
It would be good for you to check the rankings of your listings at least once a week by testing the keywords in your listings. This way you can quickly see the ranking changes and sometimes see what is causing the changes.
There are many ways you can improve the SEO of your shop and listings to be found in more ways in both Google and Etsy searches.
For example. many of your necklaces are a "pendant necklace" and a "flower necklace" (both popular keywords used in many searches) but these words are missing from the listing title and tags. Add keywords such as "flower pendant necklace" and "gift for her" to the listing title and tags would be an improvement.
Another example: most of the earrings in your shop are "dangle earrings" - a very popular keyword phrase. Adding keywords like, "flower dangle earrings" or "strawberry dangle earrings" to the beginning of the listing title and to the tags will increase the "findability " of these listings.
VERY! A company I just started working with began a Groupon exclusively for my prints. It's been dead in the water since Saturday. I've had ZERO views Fine Art America. Even while relisting here I'm getting about 1/5th the views, 1/10th the faves and 1/100th the treasuries.
The only thing that's moving is on sites like Society6 and The Kase and other sites promoting back to school to college kids.
I guess everyone else is thinking about their own children's needs and soaking up the last of the summer sun.
Hey gang, don't forget that August, especially late August through Labor Day, is a big vacation season in the States. It's a really good time to do some shop renovations and pre-planning for Holiday!
Slow seasons are different for every shop; August is generally pretty good for us as it's back-to-school season and we sell name tags. Our slowest is maybe late September through early October, though it's hard to say as the shop hasn't been plateaued for an entire year yet.
