Hi Kym,

Love your bracelets they are very pretty. It takes awhile to get sales started. Have you tried running a sale? I had to network a lot (mostly on facebook) and lowering my prices helped to get things started. Then I slowly raised my prices. Listing more helps as well. I try to keep my shop stocked at 65-75 items with a good variety. Making sure to have a wide variety of tags as well to help get views. It's hard though to stock your shop until you get sales because of the cost involved. Hang in there! I will put a post on my facebook page linking to your shop.

Re: Need Help

Hi Kym,

I know how you feel. I have the same problem. I think you have a lovely shop, but like Jennifer mentioned you may need to add more items.

You also have to remember to some people are saving up their money for the holidays, and that there is a lot of competition.

I also think that during this slow time maybe look over your titles, tags, and descriptions to your items. I also think that some of your background is too colorful, and it distracts the items that you are trying to sell.

I hope that you will have a sale soon!
Best Wishes!

Thanks Sonia. I will be adding more items soon as suggested. Also I will be adding more tags with them. Thanks fir the tip on background being to colorful which could be a distraction. I will tone it down so the focus can be on my items. Have a great day!

Re: Need Help

I am a newer seller too. I have been selling for about 8 months and have only made one sale. I am in the same boat.
I looked at your policies page and noticed that you only take paypal. You could be missing out on sales there. Not every buyer has a paypal account. Etsy has a program that allows sellers to accept credit cards and it is called direct check out. The buyer puts in their credit card info, etsy processes the credit card, and you get the money. No buyer credit info comes your way. The buyer does pay 3% credit fee, but they pay a 2.9% fee with paypal anyway. Direct checkout opens you up to etsy gift cards. With the holiday season coming people will be buying millions of dollars in those. Direct Checkout is definitely something to look into. I faved all your items
