When will the shoppers return?

[Former_Member]

I feel like we are all experencing the sudden drop in views/shoppers, but when will they return?

That's being said, what can you do to help "get ready?"

Any ideas?

[Former_Member]

I'm always ready ;-)

I was really surprised on Christmas Eve to have a couple of sales, then some more on Christmas Day. I've had sales every day since, although not as many as prior to Christmas, but the people are still out there shopping.

The sales I'm running in my shop aren't what are drawing people in, because no one is buying those items at all, and looking at my stats, they're hardly looking at them.

It's really hard to figure...I'm not complaining, mind you! So if you're not getting much traffic, spend some time to do what it takes to get your shop seen right now. Work on tags, titles, whatever you need to do to get up there in relevancy and search engines.

Good luck! (And with all that said, I probably won't have another sale for a week!)

Have a nice week all...

I sure hope they return soon!

I had 5 sales on boxing day and I wasn't running a sale. The people whom had bought from me said that they saw my ornaments at their friends' homes over Christmas and they were given my business card and so they wanted to buy ornaments too : ) I was ecstatic!

I got my first two after Christmas sales today, so they are coming back slowly.

[EllieMarieDesigns]

I sold two items today!

I'm hoping for a load of Valentine's Day orders, starting after the New Year. :]

I'm also hoping for V-day orders soon.

I actually had hardly any sales during Late November & early December. Then I got a couple right before Christmas, and one right on Christmas Eve. Weird.. But aside from my gift tags I don't really sell anything to Christmas-y so I guess that's why..
I'm also hoping for a pick up because of all of the engagements that happen in December. My new brides planning their wedding and all ^_^

I got my first post-Christmas sale today. I'm not too unhappy about that, my inventory of some types of items is down and I haven't replenished my shop yet (though I have drilled glass spread all over my desk in varying stages of becoming jewelry ;) )

[taffertydesigns]

I think they have returned! Yay! :-)

[ForgedMettleJewelry]

I was born ready...

I had a sale yesterday, though not a piece of jewelry, just one of my surplus supplies, but I'm not complaining. My last sale was 2 weeks before Christmas.

[Former_Member]

Wish they would return! December was a total disappointment for sales, so hoping the new year will bring new opportunities!

[Former_Member]

I jinxed myself! No sales for two days...

[MellowMoonSupply]

If you list they will come......?

[Former_Member]

I'm on target for 2012 3 items in 3 days. Hopefully the trend will continue.

I had four sales yesterday and one today so far. I'm pretty pleased with January so far.

[buffalogirls]

So far so good.
