Tips for search ads?

[Former_Member]

I tried out search adds once and did them for all shop items and didn't change the tags or get rid of any. I have no sales from it and maybe 10 views.

I thought I would try again by using only one section from my shop and only using tags that are useful and I am having the same issue with no sales and very few views.

Anyone have tips on the best way to us the search ads?

Best tip ~ Save your money and focus attracting customers from other sources off Etsy.

Don't do it! Save your money and spend time promoting

I am doing search ads with a very small number of key words. This gets me at the top of the page on my specific market. I tell etsy my budget, but I have not hit my budget number yet. When I stopped the ads for a day, I saw a drop in views, so for me it is worth it. If you target a very specific group of buyers, it might be useful.

I started search ads on Saturday promoting one section with about 14 tags.

My stats so far are:
1207 impressions
7 views
0 favorites
0 orders

It's a waste of the 90 cents I've spent so far. I'm going to cancel it today.

It depends on what you are promoting. You don't have too much variety in your shop so I think it would be a waste of money for you. You would be better off promoting on wanelo or trying to get into cuteable.com.

Wow!

I just had a sale from my search ads!! Couldn't believe it! I am targeting a very small audience with specific key words, so my costs are not that high, but I am happy!

I don't think search ads are always so bad. It does increase my views sometimes. And I do get sales sometimes.
