Slow Friday? End of Month?

Hello all,

Today is really slow so far, is that because it's end of the month? Will July be a better month? Anyone knows?

Amy, you did very well, you had a lot of sales in short period of time. How do you promote your shop? Have a nice Friday!

Re: Slow Friday? End of Month?

I've seen many a post in the forum from sellers experiencing a steep drop in views and sales. Experienced sellers chime in to say that they've seen over the years that summer IS quite a slow-down.

I'm trying to list new items pretty often, since many of mine [chocolate truffles!!] can't be shipped in the summer. Plus my website and blog launched yesterday, so that's keeping me busy!

Re: Slow Friday? End of Month?

I guess...:) Its been a good month. But a slow friday! They only thing I do is post occasionally on wanelo. But I doubt I have gotton any sale from there. I think I am lucky because my main sellers, gowns and pilot caps are not a HUGE catagory on etsy. Something like (general) hats, headband, or jewerly seems harder.

Starfish baby-
Just took a peek at your shop and noticed your titels need some work. They first 3 words are most important to being found in search results. The online labs have so much useful info on this.

You have a great friday too!

Extrenely, worst day of the month so far, Fridays were always great in past 6 weeks or so but this one is miserable. Hope Sat and Sun will be OK.

Try selling art on Etsy. If you think 4 sales a day is a slow day, that is...
