Etsy Showcase

The idea behind the Etsy Showcase is a wonderful one.  I really like it, I do.

Having said that, I don't know if it works!  Karla has purchased three Showcase slots and has generated exactly zero sales from it.  It's frustrating, knowing that you're spending money on advertising that's not working.  It could be because she hasn't gotten a slot on the Main Showcase.  We decided to try that one, next, but it's hard to get a slot.  They get snapped up so very fast!

Has any of our readers had any success on any Showcases that weren't the main one?  We'd really like to hear about your experience and how you maximized your Showcase slot.

Higher Traffic

So, I have a counter on this page to tell me how many hits we get every day. We also earn advertising points through it. Anyway...

So, I was shocked today when I got my emailed statistics. We usually have anywhere from 0 to 15 hits a day. I about fell out of my chair when I opened the email. One Hundred and One hits today! That is absolutely amazing! I had no idea what I could have done to cause that jump in traffic. No advertising or promoting I had done previously had ever caused such a traffic load. I was exstatic! Still am, as a matter of fact. It wasn't until I looked at some other mail in my mailbox, that was an updated list of Jewelry Weblogs from About Jewelry Making author Tammy Powley. She had listed us there! I think that's the first real public exposure we've ever had. Thank you so much Tammy. Thank all of the great people on the Jewelry Making Forum and the great community you are! If you are NOT familiar with this (and there still might be a few visitors trickling in from other places) I urge you to check it out.

Here is a link to the list of Jewelry Weblogs that she posted. Please, go forth, check the other ones out. And, once again, leave us a note to let us know you came!

God bless.
