Allegedly, Etsy gives "more weight to real, organic placed Faves from a searching buyer, as opposed to click click click faves from fellow team members/sellers." This is to prevent skewing relevancy rating that could come from hundreds of favourites. Even if most of us sellers are also buyers.

So, what can we do to help each other boost sales if viewing, faving, and other games don't help anymore? JOIN THE FACEBOOK ART TEAM PUBLIC PAGE and post, sell, like, and share!!!

THANKS!!!

What is your brand? My goal is the Joy of creating authentic beauty.

My brand is that I am willing to hear the emotionell issues of the buyers (*I am only an email away*) and I will recommend them a gemstone-helper. And that I am non-judging.

That's wonderful Andrea. I'm sure you'll find a lot of success from that

FROM ETSY:

Etsy is turning 13! To celebrate, we’re inviting shoppers to Etsy from June 18-22 to discover and buy something special. During the World of Etsy Sales Event in March, shoppers placed 1 order(s) from you. Keep it up! Help new shoppers continue to discover unique art and collectible items just like yours by running a promotion during our birthday sales event.

It’s easy to participate. Create a sale by discounting your listings between 10% and 70% between June 18-22. Your discounting can also include a minimum order value or free shipping to be part of the promotion. We’ll promote the event to shoppers through marketing emails, site banners, social media, press coverage, and Etsy’s homepage.

Learn more about the birthday sales event in the Seller Handbook.

FROM ETSY:


Dear Seller Community,

We’re writing to tell you about some changes at Etsy. We’ve been helping sellers on their creative journeys for 13 years now. We’ve focused on making Etsy the best place to run your creative business, and we’ve listened to sellers like you to learn more about what you need from us.

Now, we’re planning to invest even more in bringing buyers to Etsy, building seller tools, and improving your seller experience. To help make this happen, we’re updating our fees, and we’re adding some new features.

Effective July 16, Etsy’s transaction fee will increase from 3.5% to 5% and it will also apply to the cost of shipping. All other fees, including listing fees, will remain the same.

We’re also introducing new optional feature packages designed around the needs of sellers at different stages of growth, so you can access the right tools at the right time for your business.

If you’re happy with the services you currently use on Etsy, you can still access all the tools that are currently available to you without paying a monthly subscription fee. But if you want to do more, we’ll be offering two new plans: Etsy Plus, with tools to help businesses grow and express their unique brands, will be available in July. Etsy Premium, with more advanced tools for larger-scale businesses, will launch in 2019.

Explore our video and website to learn more about what’s changing and look for more information in the weeks to come. We’re excited to see what’s next for all of us as we continue to invest more in growing your business, together.
