Survey Says: Take Etsy’s Survey for a Chance to Win an iPad and Handmade Case

Update: The lucky winners are Tracy, a.k.a. myharmonicagoldfish, Stannet, a.k.a. monyas, Karla a.k.a. karlawheelerdesign, Christine a.k.a. Lavengro and Sara from Canton, Ohio.

We are very excited to launch our Etsy Survey today. We encourage everyone to take the survey, whether you’re a buyer, seller, or visitor who has yet to buy or sell. Our goal is to get a better understanding of our visitors and what is important to our buyers, sellers, and our community in general. Your feedback is important to us, so please take the time to take the survey. If you’re up for it, encourage your buyers, friends and other community members to take the survey as well. Help us spread the word so that we can get the largest sampling of Etsy survey-takers ever!

Click here to take the survey!

We are eager to analyze the results — what we learn will inform key decisions across Etsy. We also plan to announce the relevant results to the community as we have done in the past. Survey-takers can rest assured that their personal information and responses won’t be made public. Results will only be shared in aggregate.

For an added incentive, we will be awarding
an iPad and a handmade iPad case
— made by an Etsy seller, of course! —
to five lucky people who fill out the survey.

Due to some very frustrating laws, we cannot extend the iPad and case sweepstakes to all of our community members, but we have expanded the eligibility to these countries: Canada (excluding Quebec), United Kingdom and Germany. We’re sincerely sorry that some members of our international community are not eligible for the sweepstakes. We hope this won’t deter you from taking the survey and giving us your valuable insights.

We want to serve you as best we can — and we want your voice to be heard. The survey will only be open for one week, so don’t delay!

Take the survey now!

The fine print: NO PURCHASE OR COMPLETION OF SURVEY NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR COMPLETION OF SURVEY WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.  Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, Canada (excluding residents of Quebec), Germany and The United Kingdom, age 18 or older. Void where prohibited. The official rules for the sweepstakes are downloadable via this pdf.

    I did and I hope that it has helped us all. I would like for Etsians to know that I write articles for the Examiner.com. I write about Etsy shop owners by way of electronic media interviews. I would like to invite any and all shop owners to participate by letting me know if you would like to be interviewed and have items from your shop featured in the slide show that I include with every article. You can see a sample of my interviews at http://www.examiner.com/x-47621-Richmond-Artisans-Examiner. Now while I have started out just interviewing my Virginia team and had to use a classification in the local VA. area I am soon expanding to the 'National' pages because I am opening up the interviews to the entire crafting community. To grab the interview questions go to my blog http://studio13bybg.blogspot.com/p/home-page.html follow the instructions and get them back to me so I can put you on the waiting list. Hope to hear from you soon & please pass the word! Bettie (: ~"Pay IT Forward"~

    Yeah, I'm having trouble with absolut as well -- it seems the site can't handle the data load. It's incredibly s-l-o-w, and I've had to backtrack several times. I tried visiting the site itself, and the only items that loaded were a couple of Comic Sans text lines. It might be because Etsyers are coming forth with such an overwhelming response. I reeeeally want to take this survey because I heart Etsy really hard!

    The survey popped up automatically when I pulled up Etsy.com before I signed in. So - that's nice since more visitors should notice that there is a survey. However, it was VERY slow. Took almost 30 minutes. I stuck with it since I'm a seller, but I sincerely doubt that a casual visitor will spend that kind of time. And I think we need to hear from everyone to be a good survey.

    A couple problems with the survey to note for fixing the next time you do a survey: 1. Inappropriately short character limits for some of the questions (favorite blogs, TV shows). 2. Checkbox lists that don't offer you a "None of the Above" option. You'll never get useful data from a question like that, because it forces people to choose an option that isn't true (events planned for the coming year). 3. The option to not answer questions about household income. I know you want complete data, but a lot of people will see that question and just stop. If you give them the option of saying, "I choose not to answer this question," you'll get a lot more people finishing the survey.

So... my regular buyers cannot tell the truth on the survey either (should they take it), because if they buy the most from me, and my category doesn't exist in the survey, they'll have to make something up or leave it all blank. Otherwise, it was a fun quiz and I hope you get great response from it! ♥

Sometimes between 2 preschoolers, orders to get made and out on time, and the constant pile of dishes and laundry to do I forget to go in and make sure my line up isn't full of listings that have sold and will not show up in the showcase.

    did the survey, Hope I win (I think I haven't won something like this since I was a kid)... Thanks for the comments section. However, there are flaws in the way the survey is designed (some flaws caught by others, ie: leaving out supply sellers and vintage) also the "none of the above" option should be "Other" with a chance to fill in a blank to give more information. Care needs to be made, when forming surveys, not to encourage answers in one direction or another... as you want your data to be USEFUL, not "just give you the answer you want." This can be a difficult thing to do.
