It's that time again, and those of us behind the scenes at Etsy would like to share our merchandising plans for September. As we continue to plan Etsy’s calendar for the year ahead with thematic merchandising, we will be incorporating many of the concepts you shared in response to August's report and continue to welcome your input. It is our goal to create a healthy balance between promotions for traditional holidays, seasonal changes, and lifestyle trends.  

A special note to sellers about Halloween:
Here at Etsy, Halloween is much more than a party; it’s a cultural mindset and a source of design inspiration for many of our sellers. The history, myths, and magic of Halloween spark our imagination and inspire the creative world. We want to encourage our sellers to start thinking now about Halloween, which we envision as our major kick-off to the holiday season. In fact, this August we are launching a preview for Halloween, which will be a prelude to a major promotional launch beginning in September and taking us through the end of October. Start now to do your research. We encourage as many sellers as possible to design and produce an item that can be promoted during our Halloween 2009 campaign. Be inventive through color, pattern, and forms. Consider decorating and merchandising your shop with images to capture the flavor and spirit of the holiday.

Rounding out August
As we toast the change of season from summer to fall, we'd like to find ourselves in the midst of a beautiful vineyard. Our muses are family celebrations around the table, entertaining, rich foods, working the land, and the perfect hostess gift, all of which leads us into the harvest. We bask in the last rays of summer, taking time out for vacationing, the beach, global travel, outdoor adventures and athletics, summer barbecues, and toasting to a warm evening on the back terrace as we begin to wonder: just where did those summer months go?
  • Back to school continues as a featured theme and will transition from a college dorm focus into a younger focus as the traditional school year nears. On the broader side of "back to school," we are taking the opportunity to expand this theme into the idea of a fresh start, new beginning, and what it means for you. All of these ideas encompass apartment and studio design, storage solutions, office and gadget gear, and hunkering back down to business.
  • As we head into cooler months, we will be highlighting the seasonal transition from summer fashion and accessories into autumn fashion and accessories. We'll be placing emphasis on "build and layer" styling options, mixing new items with current staples already in your wardrobe.
  • The Handmade Weddings series continues as we share DIY solutions for pulling off an unforgettable affair. As with the summer fashion transition, we will begin to shift from featuring summer weddings to ones with hints of autumn and the harvest.
  • Halloween Preview: Etsy lends a special welcome to Halloween with the debut of our Halloween Preview Guide. Now is the time shoppers plan ahead to make custom orders for costumes and creative solutions for this favorite DIY holiday. Keep your eyes peeled for hints of everything from the harvest to the darker arts as we prepare for our full promotional buzz around Halloween.
  • Vintage treasures continue to steal our hearts with nostalgic grace and clever repurposing options for the home. Look for continued emphasis on ways to incorporate vintage finds into your everyday life throughout the month.
  • Look for an emphasis on home decor, storage solutions and all that defines home comfort as we prepare for the upcoming holiday season.
  • Peridot takes center stage as August's birthstone, and August's astrological signs are Leo and Virgo (July 23 - August 23: Leo, August 24 - September 23: Virgo). Check out our specialized Peridot Gift Guide for some new ideas.
  • Keep in mind that August is a key time during which Etsy sellers should begin preparing for the busy holiday season ahead.  Keep your eyes on the blog as we prepare early with a series guiding sellers through the steps to prepare themselves and their business for the upcoming holiday rush.
  • Promotional Opportunities for Sellers: We've planned four promotion-based Etsy Finds posts that will be sent out to our Etsy Finds mailing list in August. These Finds will center around targeted promotions. We've also launched a new Members' Choice Gift Guide in which you can nominate and vote on items for inclusion.

Stay Engaged in September
September marks the Autumnal Equinox and calls us into the full harvest when we begin to plan for family celebrations and the holidays ahead. We toast the coming autumn with wine, think about updating our homes with seasonal accents, and take ourselves a little less seriously with Halloween around the corner.   As we place an emphasis on traditional seasonal themes throughout September and the coming months, we will also intertwine appropriate seasonal themes for those around the globe approaching warmer months.
  • The first weekend in September marks Labor Day, a day when many take off to relax and celebrate this symbolic end of summer in the form of a barbecue, picnic, or family gathering. It's a time for fireworks, extended weekend art shows, and relishing the final days of summer at the pool or beach. For the football fans out there, it's your time to shine as this holiday weekend usually means the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons.
  • After Labor Day, look for our Back to School promotions to wind down and our full Halloween promotional plans to roll out. We'll be highlighting all aspects of the holiday including costumes for adults, kids, babies and pets, decor for the home indoors and outdoors, party solutions, trick or treating accessories, food and candy alternatives, the DIY side of Halloween, the best in Halloween trends, and more. No genre of Halloween will be left in dark as we bring everything from the cute to the scary facets of this favorite holiday to the forefront.
  • Coinciding with our Halloween promotions, you'll notice an alternative spin on our Handmade Weddings series highlight unconventional approaches to pulling off a creative event.
  • September is key in showing off the height of fall fashion trends; we'll be looking to feature an autumnal spin on clothing, accessories, and jewelry. Etsy is unique in that our artists and designers are the industry trendsetters in each of their fields; we can't wait to see what's hot this season, bring emerging trends to the forefront, all the while featuring the handmade aspect of classic fall fashion staples.
  • Can you smell the hints of the harvest in the air? This time of year we celebrate the familiar rich earthy tones and textures in our homes and the outdoors. Classically a time for focusing on the indoors, woodland themes, primitive and folk arts, along with rustic furniture and vintage highlights
     encompass many of our ideas for home decor.
  • The classic sapphire makes its debut as September's birthstone, and September's astrological signs are Virgo and Libra (August 24 - September 23: Virgo, September 24 - October 23: Libra).
  • Promotional Opportunities for Sellers:
    • In preparation for our Sapphire Gift Guide, we will be looking for community suggestions and nominations for what items you'd like to see in the guide. Suggest your favorite sapphire-related items in this nomination thread.
If you'd like to stay engaged and involved with the approaching merchandising themes, interpret them in your own artistic voice. This can be translated within your listings, photos, shop announcement, descriptions, tags, titles, sales promotions and more. We're excited to see your creative interpretations!

If you make items that would fit well with the themes outlined, try stocking up and listing them in advance to take advantage of potential shipping deadlines. Do you already have items in your shop that meld well? That's great! Now it's time to revisit those items to make sure your tags, titles, and descriptions reflect keywords shoppers might be looking for this time of year. This is also a great opportunity to revamp your item photography with a new look, if you think they need some work. Check out some great how-tos for item photography to get started.

If your items fall under the main thematic categories we'll be highlighting this month, it might be a great time to consider purchasing a Category Showcase. For those of you who enjoy making Treasuries, we'll be looking to highlight lists that interpret August and September's themes in a creative and cohesive way, as well as the many creative and beautiful collections that we normally feature.

Upcoming Dates to Remember:

  • September 6 Father's Day in Australia
  • September 7 Labor day
  • September 10 Sewing Machine Day
  • September 13 Grandparents' Day
  • September 15 Make a Hat Day

Wow! You work very hard to help us succeed. Fabulous article. Many sincere thanks for pointing out some great opportunities.

Aug. 5, 2009 at 4:39 p.m. lazydayz

Just a thought, why not also include birth flower or other items designated by month. By limiting it to birth stones, it somewhat limits it to jewelry, which I don't mind, but other sellers may feel left out of the "monthly" gift showcase ???

Aug. 5, 2009 at 4:41 p.m. workingforpeanuts

All of these ideas are so inspiring! And I love all these picks. It feels nice to anticipate fall when it's TOO hot outside.

Just a thought... How would it be to feature woodland/ nature themed dolls/figurines with vintage and rustic (nature's harvest) items for homedecor: centerpieces, candles... ?

(Also did I miss a dolls/miniatures promotion that was planned for July?)

Aug. 5, 2009 at 4:48 p.m. cottonbirddesigns

I appreciate that you've ended this detailed article with a couple of lines about international holidays, but considering almost half of your sellers are non-US, I'm surprised this calendar of events is so US-centric.

It's going to be SPRING here in Australia in 3 weeks time. Father's Day is on September 6th. Where is the merchandising schedule for the rest of the world?

Aug. 6, 2009 at 3:35 a.m. staceyrebecca

With a shop less than a month old and still finding my way, I really appreciate the nudge into thinking about Halloween and the holidays. Next time, I'll have to remember to bring my idea book with me to the computer, the article has given me a couple of ideas I don't want to forget.

Aug. 6, 2009 at 8:21 a.m. PawPawsWorkshop

Great article

Aug. 6, 2009 at 8:27 a.m. breadandroses2

Timely, useful info to help stayed focused on short & long range seasonal plans. Thanks, Etsy!

Magicjelly makes an important point: what about the non-US customer & seller base? A significant number of my very valued customers are from the Southern Hemisphere (thank you AU & NZ!!). I'd like to continue creating fresh designs in tune with their seasons/calendar but feel like those items get lost in the zillons of listings.

The listing form 'tags' feature doesn't have enough space to include 'southern hemisphere' and it's clunky adding it to the title. I'm open to ideas and workaround solutions.

Aug. 6, 2009 at 8:59 a.m. designlab443

working on halloween now, love the idea of a seasonal banner!

Aug. 6, 2009 at 9:40 a.m. thestapeliacompany

As always, thank you for these tips that help sellers focus their efforts in specific areas more in-tune with Etsy's overall direction as well. Thank you! :)

Aug. 6, 2009 at 10:27 a.m. marymary

Magicjelly and breadandroses2,

Thank you for your insight. As mentioned in the article, we are very interested in opening up our merchandising calendar to a broader international audience. Thank you for your mentions of Father's Day in Australia, should you have more international holiday suggestions for September, we would very much be interested in including them here.

Feeling all witch-y for Halloween now!

Aug. 6, 2009 at 11:32 a.m. WATTOonline

Thanks for the article. Question: You mention decorating your shop with images of Halloween. Beyond the banner, how would one do that? Is there a way to add extra imagery to the shop?

thanks

hey.. Eid is in there somewhere around 18th/19th too - not too sure when but i think its in September.
..and yes as as 'Studio One Design' has mentioned, before Dusshera, we have the 9 day festival in India known as Navratre.. a colourful festival full of light and great celebrations.

Aug. 21, 2009 at 4:40 a.m. bootika

O' and i forgot to say that Navratre and Dusshera are both Hindu festivals.

I love the Holiday list. Talk like a Pirate Day is a staple at my house too.

You left out September 17th which is not only (US) Constitution Day (http://usgovinfo.about.com/blconstday...)
but this year will be my 50th Birthday!!

I second the idea I read above about adding the September flower the Aster as well as our birthstone.

I cannot believe Sept 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day! It is the day of my daughter's 6th birthday party and it is Pirate themed. How cool is that!
