Views and sales suddendly dropped!

Hi there!
My shop was going well but 1 month ago something happened. I don't get more than 50-70 views per day and no single sale since then. It has never been so low. Does anyone have the same problem? thanks

Hi Vanya, I have read on the Etsy forums that it is due to the summer time, that views and sales are slow. More people were experiencing this.
Wish you the best,

Yes! I have the exact same issue.
It feels as if I've suddenly disappeared....

Last year was the same. My views dropped with almost 40%. I had to work hard to bring them back and now despite of adding new items and double my items in the shop and adding new designs and better pictures and keywords and titles, descriptions, etc, the views are sometimes lower than the last year, which as I told already told you were really bad.

There are simple ways you can quickly recover from a sudden drop in views if you keep track of where at least some of the listings are for each keyword or keyphrase that you use. I have worked on recoveries like this and the cause is usually something that can be fixed.

Keep a record of the rankings of your listings for each keyword in case in happens again.

Thank you all! I thought it is because of the summer holidays, but i see some other similar shops are doing well. Maybe i have done something wrong, because i started changing my photos, titles, tags, trying to move my shop forward...but but...

Thank you and wish you a lot of sales!

Everyone's shop is different when it comes to busy times and slow times because it depends on what you sell. Once you have been open for a year or so, you will probably get an idea of when your slow times are.

Since the summer is usually slow for me, I like to take this time to create new products, work on my SEO, shop appearance, etc.

Because I'm constantly listing new items and promoting during the summer, I actually do get some sales coming in. So it doesn't hurt to take this slow period and get productive. You never know, it might help give your shop a little boost.
