Still no sales and Low views.

So, I'm normally getting between 50-70 views a day. but since yesterday my views have dropped down under 10!! And I've not had a single sale. Is this normal? I spent SO much time to prepare my shop for this weekend. I wouldn't have been so discouraged if there was no difference but my shop is doing sooo much worse.

Re: Still no sales and Low views.

What other methods are you using to bring people to your shop? Jewelry is very competitive and oversaturated, and promoting off of Etsy is a must.

Your tags could use some work. Try using more specific tags on some of them, like "wire wrapped ring." Some of your photos still need some work or to be retaken as they're too blurry or yellow. Photography is the hardest part for me and takes a lot of time, but it's well worth investing in. But all of these steps don't guarantee sales either, but they won't hurt.

Re: Still no sales and Low views.

I was on the home page with this listing. 39 views! I feel like an idiot but I didn't see the listing. The etsy icon on the main screen is a treasury list isn't it?

Re: Still no sales and Low views.

Please don't be discouraged; you have beautiful jewelry; The only thing I would change is your items titles for more relevant ones.
I learned that the three first words are the most important, to be found, but you also have to be specific, for example if, you're looking for something on search what would you type? sometimes fancy titles don't work if, they're not relevant to what we're selling. just a though...

Good luck, I hope you sell tons of jewelry this Holiday Season!!!

Re: Still no sales and Low views.

I suggest taking CyberMonday Sale out of your titles, or at least not in the first three words. That might be hurting your SEO. I changed nothing in my titles this weekend. I added a Black Friday Etsy tag to just a handful of items. Today I've had the highest views since I re-opened in mid-October and I've sold six items.

That all depends on how you are marketing your shop.

The phrases being used for Etsy promotions were 'Black Friday Etsy' and 'Cyber Monday Etsy' and I notice that you are using the phrase 'cybermonday sale' in your titles so that may affect your traffic.

Are you marketing your shop outside of Etsy on a regular basis? If not, how do you expect buyers to find you?

Etsy is a huge shopping mall with over 800,000 shops so you need to be doing everything possible to be found.

Re: Still no sales and Low views.

I suggest following the usual suggestions to improve your listings: focus on titles, tags, and photos. When Etsy suggested using Black Friday Etsy and Cyber Monday Etsy tags, it also recommended not using them in titles.
Next, tighten up your descriptions. This listing, for example, is very difficult to follow. http://www.etsy.com/listing/114501777/cybermonday-sale-beaded-bracelet

Correct the grammar and spelling errors. Use links to other items you have for sale rather than just mentioning them. I'm confused by your shipping policy - you say, "Free shipping when purchased with another product," but your shipping prices are telling me something else entirely.

What sizes are your items? Include metric and imperial measurements. Use all five of your photos, including some of your pieces being worn, if possible.

Re: Still no sales and Low views.

You know, I'm a relatively new Etsy seller, and excited to be building a viewership. I've played with everything from titles to tags to bartering with a local photographer to get most of my new items pictured at their best, and paid search. One of the things I've found that help with my views significantly in combination with these other things is renewing a handful of items from time to time. The 20 cent relisting fee actually seems to pay off a lot better than paying for search ads. As far as views go, at least.

My views are up but still no sale. I have not had a sale so far this weekend. It looks like I tagged for nothing.
