You’ve worked hard to create and curate amazing products. They sit patiently in your shop waiting for the right person to swing by and swoop them up. As creative independent business owners know firsthand, the work hardly stops after you’ve listed an item. But what can you do to get your items out there, to share them with the world?  We’re dedicating the month of March to helping you “Get Found!” Each week we’ll have articles, videos, and Online Labs to help you connect with your audience. And we’re ending that month with a bang.

In last year’s Etsy Success survey, over 80% of you told us that you wanted more resources to help you get found. Well, we hear you! This year’s Etsy Success Symposium will focus exclusively on teaching you the skills to get your products out there and to help you get found. Through search strategies and relevancy on Etsy, media and PR outreach, merchandising, craft and wholesale shows — you get the picture. We’re bringing in the best guests to guide you to the next level of Etsy success.

Event Details
The in-person event will include a host of focused workshops dedicated to teaching you how to get found. We’ll have workshops, giveaways, on-site small business consulting, one-on-one Admin shop critiques and much, much more. View full workshop schedule and speaker info here. You’ll also have access to speak one-on-one with experts Mary van de Wiel, Kate McLean and Tara Gentile!
