Treasury features for help on tags!

[Former_Member]

Oi everyone,

I'm a foreign Etsy seller from Europe and English is not my first language, so I guess I'm missing a lot of opportunities by tagging my items wrongly..

Please offer tags for first page items: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KataKiosK?ref=pr_shop_more and if you do that, I promise to feature YOUR item into one of my treasury lists!

Treausuries for tags!

I'm also a pinner and tweeter in case those tags will be really good!

thanks in advance,
Kata from Kata Kiosk

I don't think that you have bad tags as far as the words that you are using -- they all fit well. That said, you need to work on the kinds of tags you are using and not having multiple tags for the same words -- that's a waste of a tag.

For example:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/115206456/pink-pony-cards-set-of-10?ref=related-4

You have the tag "pink pony cards set"
--this tag makes you relevant for searches of "pink", "pony", "cards", "set", "pink pony", "pony cards", "cards set", "pink pony cards", "pony cards set" AND "pink pony cards set". Yet you also have "pink", "pink pony", and "cards set" as separate tags. That means you are wasting those 3 tags because you are already showing up in Etsy searches for those keywords.
--you do this again with the tag "new baby girl card" because you also have tags 'baby girl' and 'baby girl card'.

I looked at several of your listings and most have at least 1 (if not 2) tags that can be removed (since they're part of another tag). Go through and remove these so that you can add new tags to make you relevant for new search terms!

Also, Nikki put together this great general shop tips/advice post:
www.etsy.com/teams/5002/etsy-success/discuss/16149239/page/2?ref=te...

I'd look through those blogs/articles and edit anything in your shop according to that advice. Especially read anything about how to use tags and titles well (you want to repeat phrases from your tags in your item titles).

Thank you so much Bee! I'm starting to favourite things from your store (I do make treasuries from my favorites list).

I never thought of that item name actually is tag itself!

Thanks again!

For the card below (the birthday bicycle card) you have the tags "any occasion" and "no occasion". I've never heard those terms used. The common term is "all occasion". If you begin to type that in the search bar you'll see it in the drop down menu that appears. That drop down menu shows the most commonly used search terms, and is a good tool for checking your tags. When I typed in "no occasion" and "any occasion" nothing appears in the drop down menu. For your baby card you might use baby shower card (BTW a baby shower is the term used for parties where gifts are given for a new baby to the new mother).
Also, I noticed your titles are very short. Titles figure i n the searches and you should use as many as possible of the terms you use in your tags in your titles as well.

I have also read it is important to use your title in your tags. I also agree with what Bea said in using multiple word tags (ice cream card set, blank ice cream cards) instead of single words (card, ice cream). For the baby card, stroller or pram are the common ways to refer to the trolley.

Hope this helps, your cards are very cute!
