Weekends

[JoArtyJo]

I am a little curious about this- are weekends on here generally slow (and Fridays?)

I am not complaining or anything, as I got a custom order- my first real sale last week (by real sale I mean outside of a BNR/BNS which have given me 3 sales prior to this) so I am not too *worried* about the lack of views this weekend but I do find it a bit weird!

I have found yesterday and today really low on views- I have had about 50 each day when I normally get around 150 ish although this does vary quite a lot.

I have been a little absent on here as well as I am super busy creating my christmas stuff (and my custom order yay!) so haven't listed anything in a few days and haven't been doing much promoting.

Just curious if weekends are super slow or it's just me!

They're slower for me too.

Weekends are the best buying days for us, for some reason, probably cuz people are home and not working. Out of 6 sales last weekend, 4 were on Ebay and 2 on Etsy. During the week, 6 sales on Ebay and none on Etsy. Three more sales this weekend on Ebay and none on Etsy. So, weekends seem to be busier.

Weekends are slower for me too, though I do better when I remember to do SNS!

What's SNS?

Saturday Night Special - You choose a discount or "Special" to offer in your shop, post it in the SNS Thread and then chat with the teammmates. It lasts from 5pm EST to 6am EST Sunday morning. I usually forget, or I'm late, but I try to do it as often as possible - many members, myself included, make SNS themed treasuries and promote each other, so it's great exposure. I've only gotten one sale from SNS, but lots of views.

Weekends are usually not so great for me, but this weekend so far has been a little better. I'm hoping with the cooler weather, people will want to buy bunches of scarves!
