New listings not getting views?

[WrapItSnapIt]

So I heard that listing new items and relisting old items are good ways of bringing views, however my new listings usually don't get any views. At most they get 2-3 views. For example my 3 latest listings I have put up, one of which I listed earlier today, have total 0 views, despite promoting on treasuries and pinning on pinterest.

Also, I have tried looking at the Recently Listed Items several times after a listing a new item, but I have never been able to find my items in there.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there something wrong with my items, do people just not like them?

Thank you

i dont know, i think a while back things changed so that renewing no longer had the same impact as before.

posting listing in teams doesnt really help much unless you have supplies, or impulse items.

plus i think your tags could be much better, for example, this is tagged as light blue and dark blue but it looks like its black to me? also one word tags generally dont work, so tags like "leather" are really not helpful, but something like
"womens bracelet"

as an aside, many of your bracelets seem to be for bvery small wrists.

most of your bracelets are 6" to 6.5" but the average woman's wrist is 6.5" to 7.5" and the average man's wrist is 7"-8"

your bracelets look like they would appeal to men but at 6" few men have wrists that small.

Thank you for the response

How about for newly listed items? Did the change affect that too?

Thank you for the advice on tags, I will have to work on that. As for the bracelet, it might be a bit hard to see but the color is indeed dark blue and not black. For the sizes, I think most of our bracelets go from 6" to 7.5" and many of them are made to order or adjustable with a chain.

how much time went by before you looked for your listings?? i think it can sometimes take like a few hours before they appear. had it happen too, no views for new items for a few hours and then the views started coming.
in addition to what kouture crochet said i think you need to work on your pics. this bracelet looks light blue on my pc even though the listing says it´s white:

and the dark blue mentioned above looks dark green rather than blue

My new listings are always slow to start with. My older items which have been sold and renewed over and over again get way more views- always have. But they were new items once too. Just keep going and think big picture not individual items and views right at the beginning. You are building a whole shop inventory and it all takes time. Good luck :)

When you renew an item the only place its really seen now is in the categories, which are still sorted by recency.

Everything else is displayed based on relevancy. So before renewing an item, why not take a good look at your title and tags to see if they can be improved upon.

Then don't forget to let your target market outside of Etsy know about your newly renewed or newly listed items either.

Thank you everyone for responding

Barbara Höbling: One of the items has been listed for 3 days and still has 0 views, so views aren't really coming in, and even one that I've had up for at least a month has only 3 views

And as for the photos, I find it very hard to get good photos of the white bracelets with white backgrounds so they might be a bit off, but I can't really account for the difference in colors for different computers, because the dark blue one doesn't appear green at all to me :\

if thats the case you need to do two things, one, make sure your computer is calibrated. i dont know how to do this for your computer but if you know a techy person they might help you . because this

https://www.etsy.com/listing/158146946/white-leather-bracelet-with-gold-studs?ref=teams_post

looks blue at first glance,

but when i looked more closely, i think you might be using more than one kind of light. like daylight and incandescent light at the same time. this will really mess up your light.

use only one kind of light. if you are using daylight, turn off all the lights in the area. if you are using incandescent light, do the shots at night or block of the daylight.

finally, it looks like there is a problem with your screen or your camera or both, it doesnt matter if its white in person if it looks blue to the buyer.

one thing i think you need is a white balance card: they run $3-$15

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/788272-REG/Vello_WB_CS_White_Balance_Card_Set.html

this premium one has a white, black and grey card together. the way this works is that most cameras except for cell phone cams and the least expensive ones (-$100) allow you to take a picture of something white or gray and set that as the default white, this will help your camera understand this is white so when you take a picture white looks white and not blue or yellow or anything else.

you dont NEED a white card, but if you dont have one you must take care to use only one type of light. and block out all other kinds.

I have already calibrated my computer a few times so I'm sure its not my computer, and its the same in my phone, for the dark blue one at least. I know the white one looks blue and I just tweaked it a bit on photoshop so I think it looks a bit better now. The problem is that if i make it whiter, and less blue, it becomes too white and blends in with the background.

Are you using more than one kind of light? Are you using a white card?

Personally I believe that other than cropping or straightening photoshop should not be used to correct a picture. It's easier to do it correct the first time than to fix it in post.

Lastly you don't have to use a white background particularly not for a white item. Get a white card, stick to one kind of light, and retake that picture with a solid color background. I promise your results will improve more than with Photoshop.

Anyway, I can't really offer more help then that.
