There comes that point after a tasty Thanksgiving meal when you consider loosening your belt, or maybe even changing into your favorite pair of drawstring pants. You’ve simply had enough. But here at Etsy, we can’t get enough of the flurry of community activity that occurred in November.
The stats:
- $37.3 million of goods were sold by our community in November, 24.8% higher than October’s $29.9 million.
- That represents 2,055,218 items sold for the month, 22.5% higher than October’s 1,677,986.
- 2,648,660 new items were listed in the month, 8.0% higher than October’s 2,452,359.
- 398,211 new members joined the Etsy community in the month, up 75,745, or 23.5%, from October.
- 971,302,238 page views were recorded on the site in November.
The $37.3 million of goods sold by the community represents a 75% increase from 2009′s total. At the same time, items sold were up 62%.
All the November stats represent new Etsy records. For the first time in Etsy history, 2 million items were sold in one month! Congratulations to all of the community members who made this happen!

Hopefully this is not a fad. This was a thread of discussion yesterday among wedding planners on weddingwire.com in the pro forums section regarding handmade indie goods. One of the Etsians asked if wedding planners refer their brides to Etsy as a source for handmade goods/vendor sources. The weddings planners were bashing Etsy saying it's just a fad with trashy crap. Of course that's not the case!!

How many sold items is that per active seller? I thought these reports used to distinguish between new members opening shops and those who started buyer-only accounts, too. I know Etsy monitors about 5 times as many pieces of info than what is shown here. It would be interesting to have data that gave us more of an insight into the actual trends for the site.

Interesting numbers. Based on the number of active shops on Etsy, that means that each active shop (shop with items in it) sold 7.5 items in November, and the average selling price of items sold on Etsy is $18.15. Is that an increase over past months or not? It would be expected that Etsy's revenue would continue to grow as would the number of shops. But how is the Etsy model working for the individual shop owners?

BlueBrit says:
This good news for Etsy... also makes me feel even more like a needle in a haystack. :-( Every Etsy shop owner should be interested not just in Etsy's growth, but how the balance between vendors and buyers is growing. Like every marketplace since the dawn of civilization, Etsy has to grow its base of paying customers at least as quickly as it adds items for sale (and vendors) in order for this community work in the long run. Etsy added 2,648,660 new items in November, and 398,211 new members. That means every new member would have to buy 6.7 items per month, and never become a seller for this to be considered balanced growth. Neither of those assumptions are realistic, so both together can't be good. While Etsy.com earns money from every item listing even if it doesn't sell, it's long term prosperity is tied to our success. Few successful shops means little revenue no matter how it is obtained. So Etsy needs us to succeed for it to succeed, and we need to attract customers faster than we produce items or attract new vendors. Attracting new customers is the glue that holds all this together, and vendor growth is only good if buyer growth matches. Yes, bigger malls attract more customers, however if customer purchases do not keep pace with shop growth, eventually shops are forced to leave and the "mall" shrinks, making it less attractive to the customers it did have. So I think Crochetgal asks a great question: how is Etsy's model working for individual shop owners? To me, these statistics say we all have to make adjustments to how we do business. We all, including Etsy's advertising department, need to reach out and draw in prospective BUYERS, not just shop owners. And when the prospective buyers get here, they have to have effective tools to, well, find needles in an ever growing haystack. :-)

I am impressed!! Stats are part of my daily life, and you have made me very happy that I have joined Etsy. I've had sales that I am happy with having just joined. I look forward to future sales and continued growth. For Etsy and my individual shop.

Wow amazing! I'm glad that many browsers are becoming buyers and that many of the sellers here support each other. I do express some of the same concerns at BlueBrit. When I saw that there were almost 400,000 new users, I was both elated and upset. I can potentially increase my sales, but I'd have more competition as well. That's not necessarily bad, but when it comes down to something as simple as having demand meet supply, we might be a bit worried about the future of our shops.

It is good news. I would like info How many sales were handmade items, how many vintage, how many supplies. I see many sales going to supplies--as top sellers. and what is this comment from likrmeto??? I don't think that post has anything to do with handmade. Nike, Ugg's What is up with that?

wow.. I'm glad everyone was as successful during November as I was... I made three times as many sales in November than any other month. I gotta say, the best thing about etsy is that the more people join, although compition increases, so many more people get to view our items and get more sales.
