Slow February?

[CatWomanCrafts]

Dearest Estians,

Is it just me or has February been a slow month for views and sales? I've listed at least seven new items, created treasuries, put links of my new items in all of my team threads, and promote my items using Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and tumblr. Check out my site, am I doing something wrong or is February usually this slow? Thanks!!

February is fine for me. Just about average or even a little above it.

I have 5 sales, but I don't have anything to compare to.. this is my first year.. would love to be busier

It has been pretty slow for me, but has been picking up in the past 3 days.

Yea Ive been open for a year now and have had over 50 sales, I'm not sure what else I can do!

Slow slow slow. Only 7 sales all month.

I did great the first of the month and now I am lucky to get 100 views. I guess Valentine's Day is over...

Mine's been excellent, though I did have 9 day spell without any sales, which is unusual. Excluding November & December, it's been my best month so far.

Mine has been so-so. I was hoping for much better, I'm wondering if maybe there is a bit of Valentine's lull for my type of work. I don't do holiday stuff or gift items and I had a big slow down around Christmas as well.

It was slow for me, but I had a good January, so ah well. Hopefully next month will be better!

The beginning of this month was wonderful--I had an order almost ever single day. Then about a week or so ago, sales began dropping off. I'm okay with it; it gives me more time to work on getting new items in my shop. :)

Part of me kind of wishes I could learn and understand why some times are busier than others.

I think I need to keep working on expanding my inventory and creating an about page!!

January was good, but this month has been really slow which is pretty normal for this time of year. :(

My February is running about average for February.

I'm always adding new items and renewing ones that are about to expire so its keeping me busy.

Right now my stock is fairly low as I really got hit in January.

Its been slow here too! We are just under a hundred sales... Hoping it will pick up around payday! :)

[hipposdream]

Very slow for me....only 7 orders and to be honest I do not know why.

[Former_Member]

Things were good a week and a half ago. But since then it has been verrrry slooooow.

[IndigoEmber]

Beginning of February was great due to Valentine's Day. After V-day, views and sales slowed down. However, despite the drop in views, I've made a few sales after Valentine's Day. Received two orders today which was exciting!

[Former_Member]

this will be my second best month ever on etsy.
orders/traffic were below average, but one sale had three zeros, which helps.

[maryfrancessmith]

I think nine orders in February, but for me that's a little more then an average month, so I am here, drawing away.

Sales have been a little lighter than average for my February. I am just getting into the swing of things recovering from spinal surgery so the slower sales have been just right for me. I have not been up to promoting much yet so the steady trickle of sales has been a nice suprise.

[ShadyLaneDesignz]

It's been pretty good for me, 11 sales. For others, 11 isn't so good but I'm not complaining.

[Former_Member]

Certainly slower then nov-dec, but not bad. Just keep working :)

[InspiredTheory]

OMG, February has been so slow for me, as well. I've listed some items that I've been so excited about, only to get no views. It makes it hard to keep up one's enthusiasm. Hoping that things pick up soon!

[Former_Member]

My February was a bit better than January, but I must say, it is slower than usual...I hope that it will pick up once people start shopping for spring!
