Etsy Success Tips: Increasing Your Item Views

How do you get your Etsy items found by many? I started a dialogue to help answer this question in the Etsy Forums. This thread took on a life of its own so I decided to post my suggestions here and add in a few of the clever responses my thread received. For example, Etsy seller, shalana suggests, “The more items in your shop, the more items that you have to be found on Etsy — that’s my little theory!”  Read on for more little theories…

 

1. Make sure you are using all of your tags. Your item’s tags are directly related to search. If you aren’t using all of them, you are missing opportunities! Soov says: “I revisited each piece I had for sale and checked the tags. Yowsa! What was I thinking? I edited the tags and within days sold 3 pieces that had been in my shop for 9 months or more.”

“Keep a notebook and for every item, start brainstorming descriptive words for your product. Once you get going, it’s quite fun. The notebook will serve as a great source of inspiration to return to.”, suggests  themefragrance.

Guidelines & Tips: Tagging on Etsy

1a. Make sure those tags relate to your item’s style, very specific colors, textures, size and themes/motifs. Archeress adds, “One of the other things I’ve started doing lately, since I sell internationally, is to list my tag colors in the languages of the countries I sell to, as well as list the type of item (necklace, earrings, etc.) in the languages of the countries I sell to.”

Tag-o-rama with Descriptive Keywords

1b. Don’t just copy and paste your tags from one listing to another. Varying your tags will get your work seen in many different searches.

1c. Make sure your tags are accurate! If you are tagging a necklace with “earrings” in the hopes of getting more views, I beg you to reconsider this tactic. Not only is it against Etsy’s DOs and DON’Ts, but shoppers looking for earrings are going to pay no mind to your listing so you’ll only be wasting a tag!

1d. Team tags don’t need to be added to every single item in your shop. Just use them on a couple of items. Same goes with your shop name. It’s smart to tag a few items in your shop with your business name just in case someone searches for your name but forgets to use the dropdown menu to select “Search Sellers.”

2. Follow the Etsy blog. There are all kinds of buyers and sellers reading the blog (check out the views each article gets — anywhere from 3,000 to 20,000). If you leave a thoughtful comment on a blog post, you’re bound to get people curious about you and that means they’ll check out your Etsy shop. Jewelsbyldesigns says, “My plan this year is to spend more time on the blogs and getting out there to meet more of the Etsy community. I think the Etsy blog sounds like a great place to start!”

3. Set your location. In your profile, make sure your location is set to City, State, Country. That way buyers who are using Shop Local are going to be able to find you. “I’ve gotten art shows and several invitations to craft fairs just by listing my location. People (myself included) love searching for local talent!” says PeppermintDaydreams.

How to Sell Local


4. Etsy Karma. Have I told you my favorite way to shop on Etsy? Browsing Favorites. “Hearting” other items and sellers can help people get to know you on Etsy, and maybe they’ll like your work and heart you back! Don’t just go heart crazy and favorite every single item or seller you see. A discerning eye will help people understand your style and design sensibilities when they are browsing your Favorites. The Etsy community is pretty savvy, so always be authentic. Lushboutique says, “I love to promote other people’s work on my blogs and Twitter as well as my own. It’s a great way to spread the love and they usually reciprocate.”

5. Be seen off Etsy. The more content you create on the web, the more people are going to bump into you. If the content is interesting (or funny, smart, weird) people will want to know more about you and will find your Etsy shop in the process. The best part? Creating this content is free!

You may be wondering what I mean by content. This can be anything from a tweet on Twitter to a photo on Flickr or even just commenting on blogs you love. Just make sure it’s not spammy. Nothing will get you ignored faster!


6. Photos. If your photos are bright, crisp and pack a punch, you’ll get more views. Your ideal customer might be needlessly glossing over your items, and it may take three of four instances of seeing your item in search results until they actually see your item. How do you know if your items are standing out from the crowd? Go to the Poster Sketch tool and plop your newest item in with items from sellers that inspire you. Does your item stand out?

Feature Friendly Photos

7. I’ve seen sellers rely on renewing items listed in their shop to get additional views. If you use my tips, I think you’ll find that you can renew less often. Linkeldesigns says, “I often rearrange my photos or take a couple of new photos before I renew, especially if it’s something that I think should have already sold. Sometimes a fresh angle makes the listing pop, especially as a thumbnail.”

If you are intend on renewing, set up a spreadsheet and keep a tally of how many times you’ve renewed each item in your shop. Don’t just renew on a whim: have a plan in place and give yourself a budget.    DesignedByLucinda says, “I add a small amount into the overhead of each listing for renewal costs — so I know it is covered. Adding new items always gets my shop more views than renewals, so my tip is add more product.” I agree: listing new items on a regular basis is a much more effective approach.

8. This tip comes courtesy of Etsy admin HeyMichelle: “Don’t forget Google! Describe your item very well (pretend that you are describing it to someone who can’t see it) and include a descriptive title (keep it artistic and in line with the feel you are going for in your shop, but work in some good search terms) to help bring in traffic.” Uknowuneedanother says, “Use the Google preview tool! It’s located in blue underneath the actual item description box. This lets you concentrate your efforts on title and description character counts as will be picked up by Google.”

9. Help your items rise to the top of searches with savvy titling and tagging. Please read this article about increasing your items’ ranking in Etsy search.

This article started as a Forum thread. I encourage you to read through the thoughtful responses shared by other sellers here. Thanks to all who contributed their insightful tips.

    Reminders like these are always appreciated! While it may not increase views, don't forget to take advantage of the custom arranging of shop listings. Once found, it's good to keep rearranging items to maintain a fresh storefront. That's doubly important when new items can't be added regularly.

    hey! i am also new on etsy and still learning i guess. quite often i find myself brain-squeezing for additional tags however i also believe that the unnecessary tag clouds rock what you would like to create for your brand identity / product / etsy shop a bit too hard for it to show through. so i believe there is a fine line there.

    SkyBox says:

    I really love these articles and most of these tips are really useful. But it's easy to recommend adding new products often but for some artisans crafting an item takes a long time - knitting, crochet, wood work, sculpture, pottery. Each item takes days or weeks, not minutes or hours. Is renewing items frequently a viable option or are new additions shown in more places?

    I totally agree with DesignedByLucinda I don't spend my time renewing, what I do is that I constantly rearrange my shop! meaning like creating a color scheme every week as I add more items. This way people see the items that are in the last pages. This happens a lot if you have like 10 pages of inventory like me. I tend to add one of everything in the first page to give the customers an idea of what I sell :D

    quite often i find myself brain-squeezing for additional tags however i also believe that the unnecessary tag clouds rock what you would like to create for your brand identity / product / etsy shop a bit too hard for it to show through. so i believe there is a fine line there. I agree with this comment from Goldhalo Too many imaginative tags confuse the searches. A search today for "wood bowl" using "most relevant" shows for the first item a plastic bowl (from an old LP)containing a set of coasters. This is unhelpful and unfair to both buyers and sellers.

    Epiphany6andCo says:

    All of these ideas are wonderful! My dayjob is in internet marketing and I have to agree with using the tags creatively, Google Preview tool, Google adwords, and taking many great photos! I am guiltly of not participating enough in blogs, though... Also it's a good idea to think outside the marketing box a little more since everyone has the "secrets" now.:) What are others not doing that may work? "Hearting". The idea above is very good. When I go on STATSY, I always check who hearted me and if I like their stuff I heart them back. Those hearts become sales eventually! @ SKYBOX...renewing seems like a great idea if you showcase a new photo of that item that is not selling especially since your craft takes longer to make. It will make it seem as if you are listing a new item because you switched up the photo. Lastly, another tip I have is to look through fashion magazines if you get writer's block on describing your item. I also now read the dictionary all the time for the perfect words! Etsy is making me smarter! lol Thanks for the great article & the platform!

    This article is so wonderful & one of the most helpful for sellers! My dayjob is in internet marketing, and I definitely agree with using creative tags, Google Preview Tool, Google Adwords, and taking many amazing photos! I do need to participate in blogs more, though... "Hearting" is ingenious. It's a remarkable way to connect to other Etsians(esp. if you are shy) and it says "Hi there. I really like your product!". When I go to STATSY, I always check out who has hearted my shop. I will heart them in return if I love their wares. Also, hearts eventually turn into a sale! Another tip is to scan the pages of fashion magazines. They really help me in my descriptions! I also now read the dictionary all the time in search of decriptive words relating to my jewelry. Etsy is actually making me...um...smarter! lol Thanks again for a superb article!

    Thanks, Danielle, lots of great information! I agree with themefragrance too. Keeping a notebook really comes in handy for brainstorming your ideas.

I'm improving my photos with more natural sunlight, offering free shipping on several items and using more color. Deciding which photos will do the trick is the real challenge for me because I tend to take a lot of them and study them closely. I look for qualities in my photos like light, color, contrast, detail, texture, 4 corner method, ballance. Thanks again Danielle, for your hard work puting all this great info together for us!

    This poem catches the mood of the theme farm We’re done cutting and drying the rushes on the hills Tomorrow we’ll cut the paddy rice Autumn’s done there on the paddy berms That one’s got her man five lamps burn Already the sun’s going down Head for home with your load of fodder! Roofs thatched with rush rush are the walls Just as in the old days crossed boards deck ridge-pole ends Who will see me they wondered as they bloomed In valley after valley azaleas grow from boulders The teeming rains the teeming mists Morning grass this morning I dare not cut Little bamboo grass in your mountain keep bound up in wisteria vines I’ll stay here and sleep A farm workers songs passed down from Takachiho region.

    I have a question, if anyone can help me out. Ive only been selling for a couple of months and I was wondering what happens when you add a new pic or change the price on an item that has already been listed, does it relist with the new listings? Im assuming not, but does it show up anywhere like a new listing so people can see it again? thanks for any help!

    Great ideas - especially like the tip about listing/renewing before the treasuries open up. Never thought of that before! I am trying to list new items regularly instead of renewing items, and have tried changing the photos around when relisting a sold item. I already spend a lot of time in the forums but will be browsing more around here as well!

    Great Ideas, I have saved this post. One of my ways of being seen, is that whenever I click on another shops item, I always heart that shop, and I also check out their favorites, and click on those that stand out. I figure that if I have visited a shop, I am remiss, if I don't heart that shop and bring awareness of my own shop to them, Dave

  • alfrescouniquegroup

    alfrescouniquegroup says:

    I totally agree with you, it's much better to add new items to store than just renew items. It also saves you some money... Let's say you renew 5 items each day which costs $ 1 per day and $ 30 per month. On the other hand, if you add 5 items each day and pay the same cost $ 1 per day and $ 30 per month, your sales potential will be greater because you add 150 items to your etsy store every month instead of staying with the same items and just renew them...

    I am new to Etsy and decided to research how to perfect my shop instead of listing during such high-volume listing times.

    Thanks for sharing these helpful tips. All of us new shop owners are asking ourselves; "What is the secret to succeeding on Etsy? How do I get the exposure for my products? What are other sucessful shops doing?". There is a huge mountain of experience and advise available to new Etsians. It may take an investment of time to educate yourself, but how awesome we can draw on the lessons learned by experienced and sucessful shop owners.

    Great tips, thank you. One thing I find a bit frustrating is that Etsy allows shop names up to 20 letters in length but tags are only allowed to be 14 letters long, so for those of us with longer shop names we cannot use our shop name as a tag.

    Love the articles! Great tips and I will try to blog alittle more often. But right now I am concentrating on my new items in making them and getting up more faster on Esty. Selling at special events keeps me pretty busy, but now I am going to try harder to say my new items for Etsy. Not too long ago I posted a bandana and it got 154 views a few days and it brought more views to all my produsts. I hope my new items start getting views now.

    Great article! Thanks so much for the advice. I have to admit that I've mindlessly re-listed out of frustration/desperation. I'll be sure to add new (quality) products on a daily basis instead of re-listing - when possible. It's always easier to keep a fully stocked Etsy store when you list almost anything. I believe that shoppers can pick out right away who has put thought and effort into their listings and those who are selling just to sell. Thanks again!!

    I recently took another look at my tags and was amazed that I had failed to use all 14 tags on my older listings! It took some time but I analyzed each of my listings, re-tagged and in some cases re-titled them. The next thing I did was sign up for Google Analytics! When I first opened my shop I have to admit I was not willing to put in the time...but after implementing some of the advice from other sellers and blogs, I realize that my job is to constantly experiment and refine my shop!

    I think the "thoughtful comment" thing is ridiculously strange. When I'm browsing the comments, I don't think, "Oh wow, this person is being so nice, let me check out their shop!" I really don't care if a person is thoughtful or nice or whatever, and pushing people to be nice regardless of content is lame.

    Very good article. I am new here along with everyone else being added daily. From all the reading I've done here at Etsy I'd say there's a common theme. If you want your items to sell here you have to stay active and stay involved. Don't list then walk away and check your emails every day. Make yourself known. Spend time looking over other seller's goods, be honest and heart or favor what you like. You can't favor too many!

Right now, I'm learning more about how keywords work and how to drive more traffic to my store. I did find out that I was getting more traffic when I posted the date in my shop announcements and kept shifting around my featured items. Actually, it worked more so in my destash store than in my jewelry store...Go figure! Maybe supplies are selling better than jewelry right now? (DeStashParty.etsy.com)

I will be starting a blog, this I haven't done before but I feel I need to give it a try. I have done some of the tips and feel that I need to do them all to have better chances of selling. I thought it was interesting to put other languages in the tags.

    Sooo appreciated....I have been scrambling to figure out how some people get hundreds of views in just a few minutes after posting an item and I think I have a few ideas as to why now and don't need to be so depressed when I see a small number of views on my items....though I do need to kick to up a notch and get out there. This advice was really helpful. Thanks

    I spend a lot of time working on tags. Trying to find the best solution. It's hard when you have a lot of pieces in your shop, which is my case. I also think that adding new pieces to your shop it's much better than renewing, it shows your customers that you're working. sometimes i see shops with 5 or 10 items & i'm not sure if that shop is still open, if that crafter/artist has given up & forgot the pieces on the shop...

    GemdropsoftheFalls says:

    Holy moly was this a helpful article! Such great tips! I never thought of tagging in another language. We have had international orders and it's foolish to only think buyers speak English. I agree with so many tips listed here. Using specific keywords is not only helpful in tagging but with Google and Yahoo searches. You never know how someone will find your shop. Describing your item as if no one can see it is brilliant! We try to take close ups of our jewelry but sometimes a flat photo doesn't show the beautiful range of colors or how our jewelry sparkles or shimmers in the light. We will definitely use that tip from now on. Thank you so much!! Wonderful advice.

    Thanks for the great tips...I have had my shop open for over a year but it wasn't until I started utilizing all 14 tags (per your advice) that I started getting some action in my shop. Don't forget to use the good ol' thesaurus when you are stuck for one more descriptive word. I recently started paying more attention to the favs of the people in my circle and have made some wonderful contacts (and bought some terrific stuff too!). I love this community of talented, amazing artisans and my goal this year is to become a more active part of it, so I don't feel as if I am just 'looking in' on it. Thanks again!

    The tips of adding new rather than old is good. New shots of the old are great tips too. Changing title is one I respect. Even changing the avatar. Keeping a list of where your money is going is best rather than a whim. I am gulity of that and surprised when I look at my bill.

    Thank you so much for the helpful insight. I've been a member since August of 2010. I've only sold 17 items. :( Most of those sales were right before the holidays. In addition, my prices were so low, I didn't make a profit. When I decided to raise my prices to what I considered appropriate, sales and views dropped. I have tried different things - tweaking here and there, advertising on my fb profile, seeking outside advice - but nothing proved really helpful. So... here I am seeking the best advice - the advice I should have been seeking all along - from people who do what I do and have learned the ropes. Thank you, Etsy! And thank you, Etsy frinds!

    These are some really good tips, especially with regard to relisting.

I plan on trying to impletement some of these tips ASAP.

    Thanks, Danielle, these are great tips! I've got to add my shop name to a couple of tags, what an oversight. I also like the idea of a notebook to jot down keyword ideas and for tracking re-lists. With a full-time job in addition, it can be easy to just renew on a whim, but I agree that more thought needs to go into it. As always, thank you for your help and support!
