Hey Heather I have had my shop open for over 2 months now. I have only had 2 sales on my shop. One was a friend and the other myself. Lol. I have watched so many videos and done so much research to increase my traffic. I’ve reached out to so many TH-camrs for help. I’m not sure why my shop is not growing.
Hello Heather! I literally just watched your video, made price adjustments, activated a sale, and then made my very 1st sale in less than an hour by utilizing your advice! I'm so excited! Thank you so much for sharing such helpful tips and insights! I love your videos!
Thank you for sharing, but yes etsy has completely changed in less than 6 months time. The competition is going to kill us because we cannot compete with people selling for a few dollars. It gets to the point when you have to ask yourself am I on etsy or on a flea market site. Etsy is still my fav but I started a wedpage because we have more control over our prices
Hi Heather, I really enjoyed your video and appreciate the help. You talk about having a 15% off sale, but can you show us how to do this on Esty? It would be of benefit to newbies like me.
I ran a 50% "end of summer" sale for the whole month of August and didn't get a single sale😭, even though my products are less than 2 dollars when on sale. I guess it still depends on your marketing and how competitive the niche is...
It's actually illegal to raise your prices and then put them on sale so I wouldn't publicly announce that you're doing this. This is info from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission): "The FTC considers it deceptive to offer an item for sale at a higher price for a short period of time in order to support a claim that an item is discounted when the price is then lowered. This practice is prohibited." It's also illegal to have the same items on sale every single day.
Hi There! I love your videos and straightforward advice! I’m a digital marketer who is age 60 and looking to build my retirement gig. In the very beginning stages of planning my business now, but hope to be up and running in the first quarter of 2023.
I opened our store late January 2023 and only have 17 sales. I have tried sales a bit but have been planning a routine sales strategy so when your video from a year ago popped up in my feed today the timing was perfect! You covered the major questions I had about how to execute the sales strategy so I’m now feeling optimistic that this strategy will work. Thank you!
Heather you're the best! Just want you to know this lol. I started my etsy shop cuz of you and with your help that was much needed. I appreciate you so much for this. I'm excited about it 😋
I've been on Etsy since the summer of this year and im differently going to give this a try and fingers are crossed that this will help turn views and visits into sales.... Thank you so much for the tip.
thank you for tge tip. But customers can see your price all the time so they can tell you increased the original price then offer discount...how would they feel about that? They are not silly...
Heather why does Etsy not do a countdown on my sales? Never...and my sales dont work for me??? Please show in detail...maybe i am doing something wrong??? Thanks again. ❤
Hi ! Thank you for sharing all those informations with us, I am very grateful for this ! How many time per month can you have a sale ? I had 40% (!!) opening sale for my listings which is wall art photography prints and it hasn't been successful at all although it was for a week! Do you do shop review ? I would like to hear your opinion ! lots of love from Italy
Do y’all think advertising on social media would help, despite the cheap competition? It gets SO frustrating seeing everyone’s dirt cheap prices. How???
Thanking you for sharing your successful tips. "The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.' (Proverbs 11:25) God bless!
Hey Heater! Thank you for your insights and great tips. And what about the discount Etsy feature for abandoned carts? Do you have this feature ON in your store? BTW: go get yourself a decent comfortable chair! 😄
If we do sales all the time then how do we make profit? Are you over inflating your prices by 15% or are you happy to lose 15% all the time due to the volume you're receiving order wise. I see shops permanently on sale so just wondering how it works especially if you're not make 30 sales aday?
If you're gonna run sales as part of your sales strategy you build the cost into your product. First, however, you need to figure out where your sale sweet spot is. Then permanently adjust your prices by that amount so when you run your sale your profit margin is where you want it.
Permanent sales are illegal I do believe. I almost want to say raising your item by the percent you’re going to take off is illegal as well. But fact check me on the second part.
Hi Heather I'm new to your channel and I'm leaning lots. Can you tell me how the one day sale would work on Shopify and the other question is wont your regular customers know that you upped the price and then put on a sale.?
NEED HELP! I got my first sell a couple days ago and realised that I sold with a loss. I have the same prize as the competitors but do not realise how they can go with a profit. I sold the shirt for $ 19,50 with shipping to Sweden for $ 10. The buyer also paid taxes (about $ 7). The production cost for the product from monster digital was $ 10,30, shipping cost $ 10 and VAT about $ 5. After Etsy fees I ended up with a loss. I don’t think I can prize my shirts higher if I want them to sell and I don’t know how I should solve this. I would appreciate a lot if someone could answer and help me.
Hi! How do you bulk update prices in your store? Etsy shows a price increase in the listings, so I just want to make sure it's not obvious when increasing price just to bring it back down..
Hello, I started my shop 3 weeks ago, I activated Etsy ads this week and I have some views and visit but no sales yet, do you think I should run a 15% sale probably I can get my first buyer? 😂
Hi I want to sell beard products on Etsy and I have 5 different scents with different scent names but the same company just different names of the different scents….Should I list all 5 seperately or list 1 with a drop down menu that has the other 4 Thank you
If you have a sale (15%) only if you buy $35 or $40 worth from your store, does this encourage customers to buy more items if you set the value to just above your t-shirt price for example?
Hello Hearher! What about the views and clicks of the ad? Are these a good indicator for the ad? " of course for same scenario you are talking about" Im running an ad for 5 days. Very low budget as yours. I feel the number of views is very slow and almost no clicks. Should i also wait for 30 days?
Awesome video. What is your sweet spot for the price for a Bella 3001 or Gildan 18500 sweatshirt? How much do you sell your items for after the 15% sale. I will check out your blueprint and fb group, thanks!!
hi Heather, I was wondering do you rotate between products that are in these Flash sales, or just re-enter the full catalog into a flash sale every day? thanks!
I am wondering about that too - how to run sales often, without customers feel 'betrayed' that this sale wasn't such a special thing in reality? And how do you price - is the original price a bit higher, so you put it on sale easily? Thank you :) best wishes
So i want to open a shop and sell on etsy, but i live in Europe and really dont know how much is shipping cost to America and worldwide so if someone can help me i would be really grateful.
Increasing the price of your products by 15% to then run a 15% off "sale", to trick your customers into thinking they are saving money. You can call it a "sales tip", but I call it a scam, and it's despicable, not to mention the total lack of ethic...
Thank you for this excellent idea! When I tried to implement it recently, Etsy would not allow a sale at 15%. The lowest possible threshold was 20% (a week ago). Am I doing something wrong? Also, do you mark up your prices before discounting them? (I thought I heard you say that originally but when I listened again, I didn't seem to hear that.)
Thank you! I don't know if it's a coincidence but after I did this I have had 4 sales today! You are a rock star! 👍❤️🌞

Just joined the group! You are now the 2nd person I’ve heard say this sale tip and as a new seller I had no idea so thank you definitely doing it!

Webpage? What’s a wedpage
Thanks for the great videos Heather! Thank you also for doing less cuts during the video. It's making it much easier to watch them for me.

Heather i thank you for this. You are the first person to provide this great tip. I’m doing this today! I am now a subscriber✌🏻
You're adorable! The end had me dying. Thank you for the tips, trying it out!
I've been on Etsy since the summer of this year and im differently going to give this a try and fingers are crossed that this will help turn views and visits into sales.... Thank you so much for the tip.
Thank you Heather! I’m just about to start my store, so any help is awesome.
I learn something new from every video of yours. Great content.
Great advice! I've been trying to figure out the sweet spot on sales, thank you for the input ❤️
Thank you so much for this amazing tip. I’m loving your videos and look forward to more tips and tricks!
This strategy may not be legal in some states so use caution and research your local consumer laws.
Totally agree “Always on sale” is fictitious pricing and an FTC violation.
Thank you for the practical tip on sales. I didn't know Etsy did a countdown banner.
Hey Heather! Thanks for your great content! Have learned a lot from your channel.
This video was so helpful and straight to the point.
thank you for tge tip. But customers can see your price all the time so they can tell you increased the original price then offer discount...how would they feel about that? They are not silly...
Keep posting this channel will take off
When you create 24 hour sales doesnt Etsy ping your clients every time? Just wondering if it constantly keeps notifying them....
Looking to start an Etsy store happy I run into your videos.
I'm going to try this out, sounds like a good strategy, thanks Heather ☺️
Thanks for the info. The one thing is to run sales.
Hi Heather, thanks for sharing all of your tips and tricks to boost sales. Your videos are detailed and well explained.

Did you change your pricing structure at all after Etsy introduces the Off Site Ads, 12%-15%? Love your videos.
This is super helpful!!!
Great strategy! Do you apply the flash on all your products every 1-2 days?
I already Caught % this How ever I Took Some ideas By Your Video. Thanks for That. :)
This is crazy helpful Thank you (subscribed).
I thought it was illegal to raise your prices and then offer the discount...it's also illegal to run sales everday?
great information Thank you!
Great video and tips!❤
What portion of your listings are you putting on sale daily?

That's my question too. If the costumers see sales all the time, they will not rush to buy...

@@andresanders9130 You are correct but it's not one of those things that really gets prosecuted so folk do it all the time.

Thanks for sharing!!
Lmao your blooper reels make my day
Just curious are you also offering free shipping? I feel like I’m not going to make a big profit after free shipping and a sale.
there is no sign in
Thanks! Good info
Thanks for the tips. :)
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this
Mid-day with what GMT? :)
Are you discounting all of your products or certain collections?
Thanks for fantastic content!
Thanks for sharing.
Hello, I started my shop 3 weeks ago, I activated Etsy ads this week and I have some views and visit but no sales yet, do you think I should run a 15% sale probably I can get my first buyer? 😂
Thank you for the video! How do you update all your listing prices at the same time? Because then you have to go back and reduce them after the sale.

Hi
I want to sell beard products on Etsy and I have 5 different scents with different scent names but the same company just different names of the different scents….Should I list all 5 seperately or list 1 with a drop down menu that has the other 4

I do not rotate, I put the sale on all of my items.This is a great question and thanks for asking!
Would you create a sale on a newly opened store?
..or wait for a certain length of time?
Would this be a good way to encourage sales on a shop with few sales, just starting out?
So i want to open a shop and sell on etsy, but i live in Europe and really dont know how much is shipping cost to America and worldwide so if someone can help me i would be really grateful.
Hi Heather. Do you do mugs at all?
THANKYOU!
Hi Heather love your video, I'm new on Etsy just 3 days in can you give me 3 main points to get sales
So you raise the price to justify and cover the 15% discount correct?
Increasing the price of your products by 15% to then run a 15% off "sale", to trick your customers into thinking they are saving money. You can call it a "sales tip", but I call it a scam, and it's despicable, not to mention the total lack of ethic...

I thought I heard her say she marks him up first too
Sales can increase but does revenue increase??
Do you also do free shipping??
