What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I'm new to Etsy, so hi! :)

I'm just wondering how you plan to market your shop for "Cyber Monday?"

I offered a coupon code for Black Friday and had no real bites. I'm already offering free shipping on everything (domestic), so I'm not sure what more I should do.

How are you marketing "Cyber Monday?"

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

Since this is my busiest time of year, I don't do any sales for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday or Cyber Monday.

However, I'm still doing my regular shop marketing and its been fairly busy all weekend.

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I'm running a discount code that started this past Wednesday and goes thru Monday. I've only had one sale and views are actually lower than normal. I figure most people are probably in the malls or shopping online at the big box stores for early bird specials. I expect views to pick up on Monday when people go back to work and start browsing Etsy again.

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

My views have been much lower than they were on the first few days I opened, but I assume that's normal. I'm excited to see what next week is like!

I'm hosting a 35% off discount. I started running the coupon today and already got a sale. I still need 5 more sales this month to make my goal. It's not midnight yet. I'm using coupon code Cybercyber to get the discount.

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I'm running a 25% off discount code throughout the weekend, however I will be increasing it to 30% for Monday.

I've made a flashy store banner with the sale details for the duration of the promotion.

Light social media marketing -- just standard Facebook wall stuff, a couple of Tumblr posts and I'll be throwing it out on Twitter this afternoon.

ISales are definitely up although strangely enough only about 50% of sales have used the discount code. I'm considering extending the promotion through Thursday to try and maximise the pre-Christmas sales.

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I've got a flash sale I'm running this weekend--a major markdown for all my headbands. I'm running it tomorrow too, so it's not just for cyber Monday for me...

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I'm not offering any specials this weekend. Like with Seller Ads, I've tried sales but they've not done much for me. Friday and Saturday were pretty close to AWESOME for me! Today (Sunday) will be spent restocking and trying to get back to 100 listings!!!

As for Cyber Monday, I'm hoping to do at least as well as I did on Black Friday!

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I have had some good sales lately, but want to restock/rebrand my shop with new items next year so I am currently offering all my customers a 30% discount.

Hope everyone has great sales over the weekend and into Cyber Monday :)

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I decided to knock $5 to $10 off a few of my big ticket items and slap a Cyber Monday Etsy tag on them, but I doubt they will do anything. Views and sales are finally picking up, but I've only got 1 week left before I'm on vacation for the rest of the year.

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I decided not to offer any discounts and have had quite a few sales. I'm really happy :)

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I'm offering 10% off using a coupon code listed in my banner and I have been posting once or twice a day on FB and twitter. In the week before the holiday, I posted on my blog, sent out a newsletter and listed some new items. I've also been renewing a few things every day.

For my efforts, I've made four sales so far... to friends. :) Hey, whatever works!

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I changed my titles to show that item is on sale with a percentage off, and include a blurb in the description as well as shop announcement. The original price is shown in the item description blurb. Then I renew a few items a day.

It's working decently for me considering my shop was empty when I was participating in local markets from mid-October to mid-November.

(edited to add) I'm doing a general sale rather than a Cyber Monday specific sale.

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I am also trying a coupon code again. I tried using one for Black Friday also no one used it and I got no sales but it did send my shop more traffic. So I think it's worth using even if you get no sales.

Re: What is your Cyber Monday plan?

I'm not doing any marketing. I did, however, just relist some items I've been sold out of for a while. It seemed to work!
