Ease your selling with suggestions from a successful Etsy Seller
After the initial pandemic hustle, people are getting vaccinated and coming out of the panic zones across the globe. From May 2021, buyers began preparing for the festive season with lots of excitement. We connected with one of our precious sellers “Anna Beck” through a webinar during the festive preparations. She has been using the Etsy-Shopify integration solution for a long time. In the webinar, she has shared a lot of fruitful suggestions for sellers, which may help you sell on Etsy or optimize your selling procedure during the festive season.
Here are some of the viewpoints of Anna Beck
- Firstly, you should try spending $2 a day on Etsy ads to see what happens. Secondly, it will be good for you if it works, you can later spend more.
- Similarly, you can fetch more traffic through Google Ads. So, if you have more than $10,000 in revenue, Etsy will automatically enroll you in this program.
- The most amazing part is you don’t have to manage an Etsy ads account; as Etsy does it all for you. You need to pay when you make a sale.
- Learn how to stand out from your products among competitors.

A tour to the Etsy Year in Review of CedCommerce – Etsy Integration businesses in 2021
There were wonderful things that happened this year, from beginning to sustaining the businesses on Etsy. Etsy took various measures for the benefit of sellers like you. Let us take you to a flashback of the year 2021 and Etsy.
- Etsy acquisition to the big Marketplaces: In 2021, Etsy acquired the two fastest-growing e-commerce marketplaces Depop(known for second-hand fashion) & Elo7(Known for unique and handmade items). The Etsy acquisition of these marketplaces will benefit both existing and new sellers. Since these marketplaces fall into a similar purpose and business model to Etsy, this decision will help Etsy establish a foothold in those regions where these marketplaces are already famous.
- Etsy Video Listings: Videos on Etsy listings do wonders in sales; they allow you to show your items in various ways that you cannot do through pictures alone. After watching the listing videos, around 73% of people are likely to buy a product. A well-prepared video of a product can increase buyers’ awareness and boost sales. Therefore, nearly 8 million videos are uploaded on Etsy.
- Etsy digital items: Digital products are intangible items; However, once a purchase is made, all you need to do is arrange for the digital products to be delivered electronically. There are tons of digital products to sell on Etsy. Once your buyer purchases digital products, they can decide whether they want to print them out (printables) or use the downloaded version of your digital product. This year, such items have become a trend, and sellers enjoy selling comfortably; you need to be creative.
- Festive Sales: After the health hazard in 2020, Etsy stepped into 2021, another unknown condition. However, Challenge continued in 2021. But lots of hope because of better conditions and vaccination has ignited the vibes of the festive season with excitement for big sales.
