Thank you Mike for all references - Amber problem is parents responsibility and do not sell teething bracelets only. It is my opinion only.

[MikeKrausArt]

@TheFrostIndia I just sent you a private message

[TrevorsDogCollarShop]

Hi, has anyone else's sales completely dropped off or is it just me? I was selling 5+ orders a day and now I'm lucky if I get one a day. Any help you give me can be helpful. Thanks.

[MikeKrausArt]

@TrevorsDogCollarShop This has been a widespread concern for shops like ours to Amazon/Walmart.  The impact of the COVID pandemic continues with labor shortages, supply chain issues, inflation, and a global recession.  It doesn't help that Etsy continues testing programs like "Star Seller" which is full of glitches and causing problems for search, shipping, and sales.  

Do you use social media?  It's a good way to take control of your own promotions and sales.

On Facebook, we're hosting a holiday kick off party starting monday at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1934458910278595/people

On Pinterest, we have a board dedicated to pet supplies at: https://pin.it/NpyyHaj

And we have lots of activities for instagram, linkedin, youtube, etc.  

And the holiday shopping season has started.  So, how can we get your collars in front of people who are looking for gifts?

[TrevorsDogCollarShop]

How do I post on the Pinterest board? Do I have to be invited or do I just log in and post there  Also the FB holiday kick off party. Again do I need to get invited etc?

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi, I just started a shop selling small-size paintings and crafts. My goal at first period is:
1/ Having enough money to sustain my passion as an artist painter ( by the way, my important works and biography can be seen here: https://www.artpal.com/loihongdiep
2/ Helping my son - who has autism syndrome find a suitable job and earn income.
Hope in future, when I gain something good enough, I'll have more goals to tend to
Thank you very much for this thread and for reading

@TrevorsDogCollarShop  Here are the links to our Pinterest boards: https://community.etsy.com/t5/art/Join-the-ART-Team-Pinterest-Boards/m-p/136901045#M4198304  They should have a "join board" option near the top.  Sometimes, they require approval to prevent spam.  So, I'll watch for your shop.
