Promoting your listing

[Wagsnpawz]

I started promoting more this past 2 months and I did see a big difference. Just wondering since the holidays are over if people lower there buget for listing or keep the same.

What are some good tips for promoting.

I have such a low budget on my promoted listings, I'm just going to keep them the same. I have it set low as a "just in case" and not really depending on them as a main source of flow of traffic. (In the past for me I tried it and failed).

For me, I use Instagram and Twitter for promotion. I have good luck with those two. But you have to use them daily, and be social on them (like people's photos, comment on their photos, retweet tweets, etc).

I'm going to start trying to working on my facebook page again. Below is the thread that I started asking for Facebook advice if your interested.

Thank you, I do have my items on Pinterest. I also have a Facebook page. Social media is a great outlet, but can be tons of work to keep up with. I am always looking for advise to help my shop. I will check out thread.

I was looking for advise on promoting listings, not to promote your listing, if I miss lead you.

Wanting to learn more about what are great tools for promoting. I like here on Etsy. I promote all my items have a daily budget. Would like to get advise from other on their thoughts of what is a good or not needed.

Hello. Since I have not very many items on my Etsy shop, I put the lowest bid on Etsy promotion. As a result, it did not give me any sales at all but only give more traffic and favorites. I might need to increase my budget.

My experience with facebook promotion was it gave me very many likes and queries soon as I turned on my promotion. It surprised me and happy with that. However, I feel like I'm not ready for many many orders.

Promoting on this team is not allowed and is considered spam. The original poster asked for advice and input regarding promoting and promotion budgets. She didn't ask that others promote their own shops. All promotion posts have been reported.

I just started my etsy shop and have gotten barely any views let alone sales. I tried searching for my item on etsy but it didn't even come up. Should I be spending money on facebook and Google ads?

Kim, your shop needs alot of work SEO/tag wise. Before you spend a penny on advertising, read up on SEO. You might want to start your own thread to get the advice you need so not to take away from the question that Tara had asked.

I'm also going to add these two links to other threads started by BeaG and I for new sellers. I know there are some articles about promotions in there.

I've read just to promote one or two items at a time...many thanks

[Wagsnpawz]

That where I am kind of at. How many items would you suggest to prompt at a time. My budget is $4.00 a day, the highest I have done before. I am see more views and favorites. Sales have gone up, but not where I am making a great profit.

I have few differant items in my shop. My best seller is my coffee cozy, they are seen on the first couple of pages most times. My tote I can not find it anywhere, would like to bring it up to the front pages, just not sure how.

I know that certain items are more saturated in the market than others, so I know that might be a issue with the tote. My rag quilts I get lots of like but no sales on them.

A good question is what are some tips with promotion and what is a good balance.

[fishcouple]

I was actually thinking of the same question too. I've been pondering should I do ads? But some said no. However, I think I will do it someday.

If I do it, should I do it with my hottest items which come up in 1st or 2nd pages or do the one that is not selling well / hard to find?

[Wagsnpawz]

I have to say since I did start using ads my sales have gone up. But need to learn about more about it.
