Ask yourself how are shoppers finding you?

Using the right titles and tags is an essential part to your Etsy success. The keywords you use in your tags, titles, categories, and attributes work together to match your listings with shoppers’ searches. When there’s a match to a search query, your items have the potential to appear in the search results thus shoppers clicking to your shop. Using strong keywords in your listing create an opportunity for your items to be shown in search results.

3. Utilize social media

Social media is an amazing FREE tool you can use to generate more traffic to your website. These days, shoppers go to social media before they even buy something from a shop they haven’t heard of to make sure they are the real deal. It’s also a great way to communicate with your audience through casual conversations, stories, live streams and images. Social media is also a great way for your audience to get to know you + your brand better. Once you make that connection via social media, you have a customer for life.

4. Influencer marketing

It seems like every brand you hear about these days comes from some kind of influencer. Influencer marketing is a fantastic way to promote your shop however, make sure that the influencer shares your same brand values and that their audience can be your audience too. It’s also very important to review what their engagement rate is. They may have thousands of followers but if they have low engagement, it won’t be worth the money you spend to hire them.
