Is it slow for you right now?

I'm sooooo bored. My shop has been really slow the past couple weeks. How bout you?

I have done pretty well. Except for today. Its totally dead. Views are really low and no sales yet today. Today has been the slowest day in a month for me. Where is everyone?

[FilthCakes]

yeah, i've just put up a bunch of new items, but I'm not getting very many views, let alone sales.. hmm.. maybe it's my tags.

Nope. I am on my way to double my average monthly sales again this month.
Mind you, I'm not a high volume seller, but that doesn't change the fact that sales are going well.

I hope you realize that this time last year there were around 10 sellers of custom wall decalls on Etsy. Now there are over a 1000.
You cannot wait for sales to come your way. You have to work hard to make them happen.

The two weeks or so have been incredibly slow for me. Adding new items hasn't seemed to help unfortunately. I'm hoping it picks up after Thanksgiving. It has to! I have waaay to much invested in inventory!

Had been kind of slow for me for a few days, but woke up this morning to 2 sales - so that's made my day! Still hoping for the Christmas rush though lol - sounds like a few of us could do with it!

since they changed the site. my views have declined drastically and i have been promoting non-stop!

help :(

We're always slow. I'm not sure of what I'm doing wrong. I've tried updating our titles, tags and descriptions. I even added 2 new items to our shop today, but there hasn't been a lot of response. I would love to get to at least 10 sales this month so my sister and I could go the the One of a Kind show this Spring. It has been a dream of our since we started. Any suggestions?

Been terribly slow all year and I've started being more aggressive about promotion and nothing has changed. I also sell on consignment locally.

it was slow last month, but i made 4 sales this month so far, which is the highest i've ever made in this shop in a month. i'm very happy and hopeful that this will continue as fall/winter seem to be good seasons for knitwear!

i don't know if this is luck or resulting from my aggressive promoting but i have been listing often and sharing on places like kaboodle and wanelo very often.

Slow! October was my best month so far, since opening in April. November has been my worst month yet. What a let down!

My shop was steady all summer but I had to close for my wedding/honeymoon in September. I just reopened and things do seem slow. I hope I just need to rebuild momentum. My strategy is to keep adding listings and switch up my tags. I also started blogging in an effort to keep people updated and add some personal connections to the shop.
