Are you an Etsy (Etsy Canada) seller?  Whether you are an experienced seller or a newbie seller – Etsy is a place where you can take your creative business online.  In this article Craftadian shares 8 simple tips to help you improve your Etsy Shop.

8 Tips to improve your Etsy Shop.

1. Promote your Shop

There is no quick button for your Etsy (CA) shop; You can’t just throw up .20 listing and expect buyers to come to you.  Tell your story and bring people into your shop.  Social media is a powerful tool to promote your shop.  You can use an Etsy Badge (like below) and add it to your website.

2. Photos

This shouldn’t be a surprise, but your photos sell your product.  A buyer can’t reply on touching, smelling or tasting your product.  Ensure that you have great photos, and use all 5 photos.

3. Price

Know your price, value your work.   Ensure that your prices are aligned with your product stream.

3. Keywords

describe your product with key words, and use all 13 tags to describe it.  If you aren’t sure what keywords to use try our Product Critique or our SEO guide for help.

4. Know your Target Market

Understand your Target Market, know who the product is for, how they will use it.  Write your listing description to that audience.

5. Basic SEO Understanding

Understanding SEO can be overwhelming, but it’s essential to the success of your creative business.   With proper SEO you can get your products found in google and Etsy (CA) searches.  If you are overwhelmed with SEO, we recommend our SEO guide for your Etsy (CA) shop, a step-by-step guide that teaches you how to improve your SEO within your shop.

6. Participate in Teams

Participate in Etsy (CA) teams, like our Etsy Team, and engage with other sellers.  You can promote your shop in teams, answer questions and meet other like minded sellers.

7. Etsy Shop Local Tool

Etsy Shop Local is a tool where you can add your craft shows to your shop (in two spots).  This way local buyers can visit you in real life.

8. Have Fun

Don’t loose your creative spunk.  We wish you success with your etsy shop.
