We have had that happen several times. Usually within a few days the item starts to get views. We don't do much promoting either!

Re: Zero Views on New Listing --- Any suggestions?

Same has been happening to me lately. All summer I listed new designs and always had more views on those days I listed, (and this was true of the past couple of years as well) but this month every time I listed something new, 0 views from Etsy. I did get views on them from facebook, pinterest etc. They are just now starting to get a few views here and there on Etsy, and I'm bummed because I thought one design would be a big hit and barely anyone has seen it... I guess new listings just don't get you the views they used to since perhaps they aren't "relevant" enough yet? I notice most things up front have a lot of views and hearts on them, so how can new things ever get up there if they have no views and are brand new?

Re: Zero Views on New Listing --- Any suggestions?

I'd rearrange your titles, so the first 3 words are most important, this for eg

http://www.etsy.com/listing/108259966/java-jacket-reusable-beverage-sleeve

The first words that spring to mind is a coffee cozy, this need to be at the top of the title, then follow by other keywords and phrases. To get an idea what is most searched for, head to the front page and start seeing what folks are shopping for. So maybe opt for 'Coffee cozy, cup sleeve, blue green beverage accessory' I'm guessing 'shirred' won't be high in search, from a buyers eye, they probably won't know what it means.

Hope that helps!

Re: Zero Views on New Listing --- Any suggestions?

Sorry to but in on this... but I am intrigued...
How do you find what shoppers are searching for??
The post above mentions going to the front page to see what folks are shopping for...
Is there a function that i am oblivious to? (which is quite possible... )

Thanks for any help
