Sales slowed - time for a reality check!

Hi
Yet another jewelry shop! I've been open since Oct 2011 and sales seemed to be steadily climbing, then practically stopped!

I've been adding new items but haven't reviewed prices in a while.

Would really welcome your feedback on my pricing....

thanks

Have your tried making treasuries or tried a week of search adds to give the shop a boost? I think summer is especially slow. Your prices seem reasonable to me. I would suggest doing a bit of research on Etsy for similar shops to see what they are doing. I do this from time to time to make sure my pricing is in line with others on Etsy.

Hope this helps!

Hi
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do treasuries when I have the time - I get featured in quite a few and try and repay the favour in my next treasury. I've found search ads to be a bit of a waste actually - 3 separate attempts have yielded nothing so not that keen.
Yes - maybe more research required :)
thanks

I also think that your prices seem reasonable. You have high quality work and some amazing pictures. Prehaps you need to work on outside of Etsy promotion. I think jewelry is a hard market to break into.

If money was not tight for me right now there are several of your items I would love to buy. I will add you to my favorites, so maybe some day.

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence.

I hope to see you in my shop someday :)
