Tags for Black Friday

I noticed that there were a lot of shops including their tags on the item title, even though Etsy recommended you not do that. Some had also put it on the item description, which is what etsy recommended.

Will the fact that they included it in both places be good or bad? Is is better to do it that way, or is it better to stick to what Etsy recommended?

Re: Tags for Black Friday

Etsy stated that you should add the tags "black friday etsy" AND "cyber monday etsy" to your tags, AND to state it clearly in your listings. As far as I can see, they've not said anything about putting them in the title. I've not done it because I don't want to compromise wider searches for a few days of sales, but I followed their advice otherwise.

Obviously, if you include black friday or cyber monday in the title, you'll appear higher in any results, but at the same time, it's going to be a massive search, and including it in your title won't do much for you but ose a few views from people seraching for specific items rather than sales.

All in all, given how many people are participating, I'd say do exactly as Etsy says: include the tags in your tags, and in your product description, but don't touch your titles.
