How is your Xmas sales?
 

I made 2 sales so far ,both under $35.
Hardly any view?
How about you?

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

You selling handmade stuff on etsy?

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

No,Etsy is pretty strict about handmade stuff,it has to be handmade by you or someone who works for you.

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

Dismal. Past few days 0 sales. Haven't seen it this bad. I suggest cutting any unnecessary costs, because it isn't looking good.

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

Why is that? Did you forget to click a submit button or some other issue you identified?

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

In the past,they do both,in fact they buy more online than in store,but this year it changed,they are looking for deep discount in store and they are buying more practical non discretionary items.
I hardly see any Blue Care express vans in my neighborhood?

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

Is Blue Care express popular as a shipper in the US? Haven't seen those up here

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

AMZN started Blue Care for its employees to start his own deiivery business ,it will deliver AMZN as well as other packages,using the BlUE Care van.
These days we hardly see any -Blue Care,Fed Exp or UPS.

How many items have you got listed?

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

I have over 200 items listed,been with them for years.
Just recently sign up for their ETSY ads.

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

people are doing a lot of in store shopping. seems like the lines are all so packed and traffic is bad too

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

well,Xmas is over for my online shop,I received 9 orders on ETSY .

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

did you check to see if any competition perhaps cornering your market? better prices, etc?

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

I did check - they all have higher prices ,and my listings are nowhere to be found .
So I signed up for Etsy Ads,and finally received one order under $50.
So I spent $125 advertising and get one $35 order !
Many of my competitors are brick and mortar stores ,they cannot discount their online prices for the same merchandise they have in their physcial stores,

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

So your listings are not showing up - that is a big issue for you to handle with Etsy, get on it pronto

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

thanks,I will

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

did you pay for the $125 for advertising via credit card?`might be able to claim for services not rendered

Re: How is your Xmas sales?
 

it totally depends on the season, what items did you listed, what about the keyword, pricing and ads it totally depends how did you list your item and you have to rank it on etsy to get sales.
