how's your business in March so far?

[KristianJessie]

I have got 4 sales in March so far.

Having 5 years experience in etsy marketplace, March is not my month and it's as quiet as usual so I am not too disappointed.

How about your shop?

[WhatCandySays]

To me, my March is so so...

But it is ok to me, since my items are very seasonal (for valentines day)

I'm still waiting for my first sale... I hope it will be this month :)

Mine is on the track but this week has been slow ...

[Former_Member]

I hit 150 sales this month- so happy. I remember waiting for my first sale- I wasn't sure if people would like my cross stitch patterns. It was really nerve wrecking. Slowly but surely heading in the direction I want to be in :)

So far, March is coming along quite well.. all things considered. I'm still undergoing followup treatment for my transplant last July so I'm at the hospital about 50% of the time still.

The shop is a nice 'distraction' when I'm home.

[MariasWorkshop]

I recently re-opened two of my shops (this one included), and things are very slow, but I am hopeful.

Crochetgal, I hope that each day that goes by you feel better and better.

Hi Kristian,
My views have been up, my searches from Google are now higher than from Etsy on some days, but sales are way down...only 3 so far for March :-(
I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that Etsy shows other shops items inside of my shop at the bottom of the page, which tempts shoppers to leave and go elsewhere. That infuriates me.
I added over 60 items to my shop at the beginning of March, but it mainly increased the views, but all 3 sales did come from the newly listed items.
Something has been very different this year, and if things don't turn around soon, I'll be closing shop and spending all the hours I've invested in my Etsy shop doing something else - like reading, relaxing, exersizing, shopping...anything that doesn't frustrate and stress me out.
At this point, the only thing Etsy has going for it is the people - Shop owners and Team members.
Love you all -
<3 Jewel

Hi folks

I was in the midst of despair in feb with my lowest ever sales so far, march has not been that bad so far.

I expect that the fixed glitch has something to do with this. I do hope it continues I am still working on my SEO and my listings see if i can place higher in searches

Hello Everyone!

March is barely my 3rd month on ETSY, but I'm quite excited to be part of this great community of creators.

Sales wise it's been very slow, with no sales this month actually.

But I'm using my time by working on my store and making it better :)

Best of Luck!

[SashaMCrafts]

I have got 3 sales better than feb. I normally get good easter sales but this year has been slow.

[PeepHandmadeGifts]

Jan and Feb were record months for my shop - each exceeding previous YEAR's sales. Only 4 sales in March so far. It seems so random. I wish I could figure out what I did right in Jan and Feb that I'm not doing now. :(

[NUNOStitches]

I'm new on Etsy and got only 1 sales in March :( Not complaining but abit discourage after reading on sales & views. Hope all Etsy sellers will do well soon :)

[Rokatree]

Not so hot...I'm also trying to update some things, SEO's, better photos. So far, no luck on getting better traffic.

[Former_Member]

I opened February 27th. Four sales so far.

[Former_Member]

March has always been a slow month for me. Usually my slowest of the year. But I use that time to catch up on sleep, clean my house as well as everything in my office and complete a very long to-do list for my shop to prepare for future orders and holidays.

[Former_Member]

It has beeb better than last year, but also quiet.

[AnnKirillartPlace]

March is very quiet, especcially after good sales in January and middle sales in February.

[KristianJessie]

I've got 8 sales so far. Not bad for me because March is always a quiet month.

[mirrymirry]

Just 2 sales. But then i was closed for almost three weeks ;)

[MarmiesMarket]

March very slow. Would appreciate any constructive assist from the team.

[TravieDesigns]

Same as February....ZERO sales.

[MeriMakes]

I opened my shop in February and had one sale and March I've had 3 sales so its been great for me. Hopefully April will have even better things in store for me :)

[ArujaDesigns]

Just came back from long vacation and getting back to routine! Had few sales as soon as I opened my shop after vacation, but nothing in last 8 days! May be things will pick up in April for Mother's Day :)

[Former_Member]

March has been slower than Jan or Feb but still very well and I am very grateful! I think it's been slower because of people going away for March Break and then Easter. I am also excited about the new upcoming changes within Etsy and I think will help to increase sales.
