Twenty Ways To Get More Traffic To Your Etsy Shop

By 266 Comments

One of the cool things about Etsy is that you can sell as much as you can make! There are no limits, other than the fact that you have to sleep! And you may have kids to feed, and a house to clean, but hey, you gotta pay the bills, right? (or get money to buy more crafts!)

But you can’t sell anything at all unless you get people to your Etsy Shop! They have to know you’re there first, then they have to be interested enough to come to your shop and explore!

Here are twenty great ways to get more traffic to your Etsy Shop:

  1. List items during peak hours
  2. Make a Treasury
  3. Re-list your bestselling items frequently
  4. Start a blog and use it to promote your shop
  5. Use Etsy-Mini’s on your blog or websites
  6. Write a blog post about your Etsy products
  7. Comment on the blogs of other Etsy sellers
  8. Write guest posts on other blogs
  9. Gain exposure through blog giveaways
  10. Have freinds and family put your Etsy-Mini on their blogs
  11. Make business cards and give them out
  12. Use nice packaging to build your brand
  13. Use promotions to reward repeat business or referrals
  14. Advertise in Etsy Showcases
  15. Join Etsy teams to network
  16. Participate in Team promotions
  17. Put-up flyers at church, school, local bulletin boards
  18. Participate in Forums and Discussion Groups
  19. Advertise off-line such as newspaper or magazines
  20. Advertise on Blogs – Such as this one!

In making this list we came up with at least twenty more and many of the ideas that made the cut here are summary descriptions of ideas that can break down into many more detailed ideas! The point is that the options are endless and you can get traffic to your Etsy Shop.

What has worked for you in the past?

    Thanks for the great tips! I’m new to Etsy and am looking for ways to get more traffic to my site. Your number 1 tip is to post items at peak hours. What are Etsy peak hours? Thanks for the help. Stop by my store and blog sometime soon!

    I do all of these things – except 11, 14, 17, 19, and 20. I also have facebook and twitter. My shop is s-l-o-w-l-y getting “there” but I wish I’d have more sales. It’s been really slow lately. I blame the economy but I see others having sales so I don’t know if the economy is to blame.

    I just started a new promo for Mother’s Day. I heard about a mom who doesn’t want anything for Mother’s Day this year because of job loss. My heart sank so I started a Mother’s Day Dollar Sale section in my shop where everything is dollar in that section. I am trying to see if others would join me. If you can feature that here, that’ll be great. Please check my shop and my blog. You have a great blog here and I get e-mail notices whenever you post. I love getting instant notices. I offer the same on my blog. Look forward to reading more blog stories.

    Hi, I’d also like to know peak hours; I never know when is the best time to list my products. My prices are low, I have great reviews, but I have a hard time drawing in large crowds. Could it be I can’t take a good picture to save my life.

    HELP!

    I agree with everyone by saying your tips are great!

    I too have had a rough time making sales on both my etsy shops: willowmayaccessories.etsy.com and crimsonsoil.etsy.com

    for a while I just got caught up in the creating side of t hings but I realized that although the product is amazing, I sill need to traffic others to my shop in order to make sales!

    I procrastinated working on the business side of things but now I woken up and started promoting my work as much as possible!….things like a blog:

    http://willowmayaccerssories.blogspot.com/

    and Facebook.

    It’s very important for us artists to get more involved in our business and get our beautiful pieces of work out there…even if creating is more fun and we should all make enough to hire someone else to handle it ;-).

    Thanks for the info!

    Oh…..what are the Etsy peak hrs??

    Thanks for the tips! I joined Etsy in July of 2009 and was unaware of how much I really need to do out there. I had no sales and only 36 hearts. 🙁 About 2 months ago I started to re-list and showcase my paintings and tables and I even started a blog! mausart.blogspot.com Well, my “hearts” grew to 237 and I have had 11 sales on Etsy since then! I am 1st hand proof that marketing is so important! However, I haven’t had any sales in the lsat 2 weeks and I am getting nervous! I would also like to know what the peak hours are. I am in the Chicago area.

    Thanks!

    Good article. It’s important to promote yourself, but I’m not sure etsy is the right venue for me. I do a lot of the things listed to promote, like using a blog/website/deviantart to list items as well and direct them to my etsy shop, however, I think there are too many listings on etsy for people to be able to find you. What I don’t like about the showcases is that you have to spend more money to get into them. Also, every listing you post onto etsy costs $.20. That adds up when you have 10-20 items for sale, especially if they’re cheap items. I don’t believe that spending money to get money really works.

    This is a great post. I have some of the same thoughts as Angie though – about the relisting. I am not sure how that helps if you are in a dry spell, since you need to make money to have it to spend on listings.

    I was also wondering about being featured on the blogs of others – is it appropriate to approach the blogger by making contact through email or just try to put yourself out there and hope they notice?

    Good ideas! Be careful with re-listing though. I would only use it if that item has sold before or has a lot of views/hearts already. If you keep doing all these things, banging your head against a wall and nothing happens you may need to consider the fact that the particular item just isn’t going to sell. I’d look at quality, value, and original design before you try any of this.

    These are great suggestions, thank you! I’m fairy new to etsy and haven’t had a ton of sales, these ideas should help. Sometimes it seems that there is SO much on etsy that I get lost in the shuffle.

    The one thing that is frustrating to me is that I keep wanting to post my jewelry on the jewelry showcase and there is NEVER space. Any suggestions how to get on there?

    I find google analytics very helpful. Seeing what people have searched to find me & using these as tags. Also if you are approached by the right market for a giveaway, try it! At the very least you may gain more exposure.

    One of the best tips that has worked for me is to take great pictures…it doesn’t matter where you are in the search results if people aren’t enticed by your images and want to click to see your item!

    Great post. I have been a seller since May,08
    I can tell that marketing is extremely important.
    Also it’s always evolving. You need to always be on the lookout to learn new methods.
    Peak hours on etsy vary a lot. I have found for me, NY time, it’s between 5-7pm. However it varies depending on what you sell, time of the year (summer, holidays), so you need to just try and try until you figure out what works best for you.

    Thanks for the tips. I just started my etsy shop. erinleighdesign.etsy.com I’m still working on adding designs to it but have had only one tiny sale so far 🙁 It’s a bit discouraging. I’m hoping it will pick up eventually. I just wonder that because I create things similar to other shops if that is why I haven’t gotten many sales. I also have a personal blog that I post on http://www.erinleigho.weebly.com/my-thoughts-blog.html

    Having a facebook page for my business helps alot. I also have fanned a ton of others sellers so I can post on their page as well. Convos are great for contacting pass customers with new items. And the promotions forum actually works, I get alot of traffic from other sellers who turn out to be the best buyers!

    What a saucy bit of information you have here.

    I just started putting my goods up for sale on Etsy – my jewelry is pretty unique; made from recycled printed circuit boards from electronics. Check it out!

    I reckon it’s hard to get it to appear in searches, so I’m really going to have to try networking!

    I too am learning about marketing. I have learned its all about getting your site found and traffic to it. Write articles on Ezine Articles, use Twitter, find good directories (I’m still figuring that out) and use all your tags. I did my first sale today but didn’t get any takers-trying to not be disappointed but I need more traffic!

    Etsy seems to be hit or miss. I’ve done the etsy showcase thing, & when I was able to get a high traffic day it really worked! But I did it again on the supposed next high traffic day, didn’t have 1 sale. That was a bummer! lol. I think listing 1 thing at a time on these days when so many people are on is the key to driving in lots of views & business! Thanks for the pointers!

    Hi-
    I also do not know the “peak hours” and have not heard of etsy-mini’s; I just read about treasury a few days ago.

    I’ve had a store w/no sales and am taking as many suggestions as possible to increase visibility.

    Thank you and good luck to all!

    Thanks for the tips. I will be putting an Etsy-Mini on our farm website as soon as I can.
    I also started a Facebook page. Liking other Etsy shops on FB is another way to gain exposure when/if they like you back.
    I have exchanged items with other Etsy stores. I make doll, I exchanged a doll for doll sweaters. My doll “models” sweaters in the other Etsy shop and she includes a link to my shop. My dolls model the sweaters in my shop with a link to her shop. I also have another Etsy shop making hats and booties. This will work the same way.

    Great tips – thank you! I’ve been selling on Etsy since December of 2009. It was slow-going at first, but in mid-to-late 2010, it was phenomenal, despite my returning to school & not being able to promote/list as much. I will say that prime listing hours seem to be at night…anywhere from 9-11 (I’m central time). I know Kim had a blog awhile back where Tim had done some research on peak times. Maybe she’ll give us a link to that blog. 🙂 I can say that my three biggest tips are 1) list frequently 2) have a lot of selections in your shop (it takes time to build it up, but the more you have available, the more chance someone will find what THEY want) and 3) use Twitter. I tweet every listing when it’s listed & tweet other listings daily, too. I’ve made a lot of friends who are on Etsy and we help each other out. You will see a huge increase in immediate views of your item through Twitter. I just reached my 500th sale on Saturday (and was at 504 by Sunday!), so something’s working! 😀 Best of luck to everyone – you can do this! 😀 ~Teri

    Some great advice here and also some intereting comments. As a jewellery maker I find that having one of a kind items and designs that you will not repeat is a good idea, before I joined Etsy, this worked well at the retail outlets I supplied. No woman wants to be seen in the same jewellery as someone else and buying handmade helps in some way to identify your style and show that you don’t follow the crowd.

    Facebook has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for my jewelry–I have a business page, and I always post new items on both my business and personal pages. Whenever I make a piece using supplies from a company with a FB fan page, I post my item on their page, both to get exposure and to show how that company’s products can be used–it’s a win-win for me and my fav suppliers! Some of those companies have thousands of FB fans. I am also building a rep as a teacher through sharing info in various FB groups related to my craft. Posting my craft to various Flickr groups has also been helpful, I’ve had sales straight off Flickr contacts, not to mention new friends and inspiration.

Also I created discount coupons!

    Working on photos, titles and tags certainly helps but in this economy every tool at your disposal is needed. I try to participate on Etsy forums but I really need to promote offline.

    Thanks for the advice! My family has owned a shop since April of last year, and we have only had one sale!! It’s very discouraging, so any help we can get would be great!

    We’d love to have you check out our shop, Crafty Collaborations.

    These are really great tips. I have had my shop for about 8 months now and I am still learning. I am trying to do some of the things that were mentioned to see if my sales will improve. It’s all about getting noticed and standing out from the crowd.

    Hi! Awesome tips, thank you so much! It’s so hard, trying to get views. I have had my Etsy shop for several years, and in the beginning it was SO easy! It’s just so large now.
    I am definitely checking out some of the shops here! If you like, check my little baby shop out. Thanks!

    I am new to selling on Etsy. These sound like good tips but I am curious about whether you have to have a blog in order to generate traffic. With everything on my plate, adding in a blog would be difficult.

      Hi Jenna!

      You don’t need a blog to sell, but it helps. You can always advertise on blogs or use some of the other ideas on the list. 🙂

      Have fun creating your pretty things!
