We are launching our annual
Etsy Survey today.
Take it! Click here.
We are very excited! Our goal is to get a better understanding of our community and what is important to buyers and sellers. We have developed this survey over the last few months and have also incorporated community suggestions from the
forum thread asking for your ideas. As we mentioned in the
article asking for input, we could not incorporate all the suggestions, but loved the ones you took the time to share and were able to use many of them. Your feedback is important to us, so please take the time to take the survey and encourage your buyers, friends and other community members to take the survey as well.
We are anxious to analyze the results. What we learn will inform key decisions across Etsy, including site development, where we advertise, and content creation. We also plan to announce the relevant results to the community — something many sellers have been asking for. 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 a $100 shopping spree on Etsy to five lucky people who fill out the survey. What a great way to start the year: a few great Etsy items on us! Due to some very frustrating laws, we cannot extend the sweepstakes to our community members outside the US, but please don’t let this deter you. We want to serve you as best we can — and we want your voice to be heard.
Sellers, we need your help!We want to get the word out about the survey and make sure as many buyers take the survey as possible. It is particularly important to reach out to buyers, as they are less likely to discuss their opinions in the forums and we generally know less about them. We will be sharing our findings with the community — so the more people filling out the survey, the better for everyone.
We are reaching out to all our sellers to help promote the survey. Some ways you can do this is in your communities and also directly to your buyers:
- Emails to buyers – why not add a link to the survey (as suggested by a number of community members)
- Put a link to the survey on your team or group page
- Blog about the survey or better yet add one of these badges below to your blog

We are doing lots on our end to promote the survey — but every bit of help counts. Our results will be more accurate and more informative with more participation.
