Etsy Holiday Selling

We are well into the Holiday selling season. This year Etsy changed a great deal of things and I feel the changes improved our sales. They added go on sales, percents off and so on. They also did a social media sharing change for both the phones and online. The sales reflects next to our items when we have them on sale now. I have seen a pretty big difference in the amount of sales I have had compared to last year. I am glad I stuck it out with Etsy and have decided to add clothing and scarves and purses to the shops. It has been a success on the selling of these items. Will I continue to sell them in the future, maybe. I do think the clothing is a good thing to sell.  So some items I have listed that are new can be found in my 2 Etsy shops. Have a look StreetCrossingDesign.etsy.com Vic kiesVintageroom.etsy.com

Not happy with Etsy

I have been contemplating leaving Etsy even though I have been selling there for over 4 years. This year they have made huge changes and made it much more impersonal. They changed the whole look of Etsy, they took away the Treasuries, and other things that used to make it special. I used to get frustrated with the amount of emails for treasuries. Then I realized I had a whole lot more people following and favoring my items. I have used the teams to some extent, but do not find them as productive to help with the selling. I think before long they will take away the teams as well. If they do that, I am sure thousands will leave Etsy. If you are going to want impersonal, then use eBay or worse Amazon.  I noticed too that some of the trusted and loving shops that used to sell and sold a long while has quit selling. They are still on Etsy, but not selling items anymore. Here I reopened a Vintage store a few months back, and changed my name on the design with jewelry shop and frame...
