I've got only 3 sales in April.
As usual, my silver jewelry shop is very quiet in the first quarter. Spring is not my season.

How about you?

Re: how's your business in April so far?

We are close to our first year here on Etsy and we are still trying to figure out things! We gave our shop a makeover and next month we are going to start working on our listings. -descriptions, photos, tags-. The happy surprise for us is that we started getting found on search, the home page, browsing sections and from Google! That uplifts us! 😊 😊 😊

Re: how's your business in April so far?

I opened my shop on Etsy Jan 26th and since then I've been having a sale per month which is...err..so far off from my target. But steady, so I suppose I can say April has been business as usual?? :))

I'm promoting everywhere but somehow it seems the more I promote, the less sellers I attract. Tips anyone?

Business is terrible. I had 6 sales last month, but this month..... not a bite! I have been promo-ing my butt off and have added new items. Nothing is working. Lots of views and favorites, but no sales

Very sad this month.

Well, I have just started a shop on 11th April, so there is no movement yet... I heard it is usual in the beginning, but there is always hope :)

Abysmal. WAY worse than I did last year. Which I'm actually really worried about, since this is my sole source of income right now. Hopefully it'll pick up soon. : /

Re: how's your business in April so far?

Hello, I'm very new, 3 weeks new and trying to figure Etsy out. I searched "how to change views to sales" and this team came up. Is this a place that I can get critiques for my shop, products, and pricing? I would love to hear from someone. I am trying to add pieces daily, I read that I should stay active. I have played with SEO's and I find me but I know what I'm looking for:) As I'm typing I got another "favorite" but do they really do anything? Do views and favorites do anything for your page placements or have any other purpose other than to make us feel good? I appreciate any advice. Thanks

Actually doing ok. Better than last year! in the beginning of April it slowed down a little. Not surprised since our items are more for winter season.

Re: how's your business in April so far?

Sales, views, and favoriting all seem suppressed this month. But recent 5-star feedback from happy customers keeps me wanting to keep at it. I'll also be adding some new artworks soon, so I've that to look forward to.

Re: how's your business in April so far?

We have more than doubled last Aprils revenue, so no complaints. April - July is typically very slow for our shop. It is a good time to build inventory for the upcoming fall / Holiday season.

Re: how's your business in April so far?

My month is still doing well! Just got another sale last night. So up to my third official one for this month! Got two other orders off of Etsy to finish as well. I'm liking this month. :)

Re: how's your business in April so far?

April has been my worst month since opening in Jan 2014, only 4 orders istead of my my usual 12-16 orders. Could it be the new categories ?

Only opened my shop in March so no sales as yet but reading other comments seems quite a few of you have been quiet.

Three sales total since I reopened my shop in March and only 1 in April. Views and sales are low despite adding more listings.

Re: how's your business in April so far?

I'm not sure why it is so slow, it's like someone turned off a switch three weeks ago. Could it be due to the category changes in ETSY or is it just my shop? What are other peoples experience?

Re: how's your business in April so far?

It has been very slow for me, but I have recently opened the shop and still learning on how it works. So I don't know whether my opinion counts :)
