1. Esty Pricing Strategy

One problem with Etsy is when you upload a product, there most likely will be other sellers advertising the same or similar products to you. This is why our pricing strategy is ideal to stand out from other Etsy sellers.


The biggest factor to get a potential customer to click on your product instead of another sellers listing is pricing. Customers want to get the product for the cheapest possible price. Therefore, they will click on the cheapest listing first.


Ensure you can match or beat their price before advertising the product. This is why finding the correct supplier is so important. If your supplier can sell you the product at a discounted price, you can compete with other stores.


2. Running Etsy Ads

Unlike Facebook ads, Etsy ads are much simpler to utilise and a great tool overall to boost your organic listings. For a new store it is a great boost if you run a $2-3 ad each day to boost your organic sales. This is great for showing Etsy you’re a serious seller and also allows you to build up some reviews which in turn helps you to increase sales.


Some start-up ad ideas are:

  • Start a sale on your store when you run the ads to boost sales

  • If an ad is not making sales, don’t be afraid to cut the ad and test a new product

  • Advertise your best-selling products as these will have a higher conversion rate


Methods To Boost Your Etsy Stores Ranking And Sales

  • Write a detailed product description that captures the customers attention, shows how the product resolves a problem and inspires trust

  • Send existing customers coupon codes to inspire them to return to your store

  • Take high quality thumbnails with white backgrounds. This looks professional and the customer will click on your listing much quicker if you look like a reliable business

  • Add a personal touch to your packages, even a small thank you note, or a free gift can go a long way

  • Utilise email marketing, ask customers to sign up to your emailing list. You can use this as a method of free advertisement

  • Upsell. Try to bundle your top selling products with less successful products that are related to them. You could then sell two products instead of just one

  • Offering free shipping can go a long way. Customers would rather pay more for a product if free shipping is included

  • Try to use TicTok to promote your store or products. Products have blown up overnight using TicTok

  • Ensure you have a high-quality store name relatable to the products you sell. Your store name is your brand, and a bad name will put customers off
