Where did everyone go???

[PendulumsbyMarlaina]

Since this monday, my shop has just died, no sales, very few views/hearts etc a bit strange for me, was wondering if anyone else was dead to?

[TheFamilyJewelsWI]

About average for me but school starts next week. That usually slows things down. Plus people are getting ready for the last summer holiday.

[PendulumsbyMarlaina]

Oh yeah, I forgot that this weekend was a holiday, it all makes since now. :)

[Former_Member]

Yes, all this month, actually. A disheartening amount of change in views, favs and orders.

[Mollymoojewels]

I feel like my shop has fallen off the planet!

[Former_Member]

There are a lot of ups and downs on etsy. You just have to remember more are already coming!

[Kokabella]

With school having just started back, everyone's likely struggling with new schedules and routines, etc. I feel it too both as a parent and a seller!

[LeNidDeFleurs]

Yeah this month has been really slow for me... I hope it picks up!

[ShapelyWood]

Slow here also but a couple of sails

[Former_Member]

It is almost 8 am here in Minnesota and I have ZERO views! This has never happened to me. By this time I at least have a handful views, depressing way to start the day...

[ScarlettsCozyCottage]

Things were pretty steady for me, but I can pinpoint last Friday everything nearly stopped, views, traffic, favorites and sales. I revved it up yesterday with a lot of team sharing though.

I am relieved that its not just my shop. Hopefully once Labor day is over, it will pick up again!

Going into a holiday weekend, I suspect people are busy with end of summer activities. I find holiday weekends almost always to be slow.

[OwlandWillows]

I have been away for about a year ... barely hanging on while I focused on my job and sick family members.... I am now trying to get back full time and so much has changed. I can't seem to get any views ...

[Former_Member]

I have, unfortunately had the same experience. Very few views and no sales for over a month actually. I have begun to wonder what I may be doing wrong.

[TheFamilyJewelsWI]

Hey everyone. This is the lull before the storm!! Use this time to get ready for the holidays. I am going over my supplies and ordering for the holidays. Plus trying to add more items. It is always so hard when you work full time or have children. My kids are grown but I remember how busy I was! Keep the faith. It will pick up.

[JustForGiggles]

They've gone to the lake. It's a beautiful day and a holiday weekend. Can't say I blame them, either ;~)

[inalittlebit]

Maybe after the holiday it will pick up. I am crossing fingers and really hoping it will. :)

[Former_Member]

I've had minimal views all month - only a handful of sales as well. But I haven't done anything for my shop either so I can't complain!

[PrairiePrimitives]

August has been slow for me too, especially considering that I'm rapidly approaching 100 listings and a good number of them are seasonal (Halloween). I did get 13 favorites yesterday and that, combined with end of the month pay days, is going to kick my shop into overdrive any moment now!

[ShadyLaneDesignz]

I have had 23 orders this month. To some that is good, to others it is bad. For me, it is pretty good...a bit higher than average. Since I work full time outside the home and many of my orders are made to order, it has kept me fairly busy. I need to prepare better for the upcoming holidays, but time to paint is rare these days since school started. I just have to get started on Christmas items!

[MoomettesCrochet]

Pretty decent month for me, but I've only been open since February 2013. Looking forward to holiday season !
