It's really not. They spent over $7 million to play off the stereotypes of French people instead of supporting artists and weeding out plagiarism on their platform.
@@APTKSU the money they take from us, the sellers. I believe they can spend them more wisely, that's all. Like, hiring and training some support staff.
Maybe those millions would be better spent towards competent and reliable real human sellers support, fixing your out of control AI bots and actually taking care of sellers - the ones that bring in the revenue!
I sent to someone twice over covid, of course the mail was really slow...and they reported me to Etsy. The seller has no way to fight back so then they had their money back plus 2 of the things I sold them.
The gift mode thing is garbage. I've tested it numerous times and it NEVER pulls up anything close to what I tell it. Doesnt work and they wasted 8+ millions on this???? That $$ could have gone to removing drop-shippers, scammers, etc.
I agree, it also doesn't really show a lot of shops/options. Kinda limited and not too sure how it promotes shops either. I just love the lack of transparency Etsy provides. 🙃
Yeah, the results aren't more specific the more interests you choose, as it instructs. Pretty sure it's just the first one they populate search results from. I've tested several times & it's just awful! If we can't use it as sellers, how do new buyers stand a chance?? And like you said, how about investing in getting the current site & functionality up to par, rather than promoting a sub-par distraction that'll just irritate people? Not surprised though, tbh. Just Etsy Etsying, as usual
Wow, y'all can't afford to pay moderators to keep stolen art and bulk resellers off Etsy, but you CAN afford to spend our fees on a big-budget commercial during the Super Bowl. I'm so glad I've already started migrating my shop to my own site.
Seriously, you couldn’t mention the variety of items, artists or maybe even personalized/customized gifts. Way to go! Well, if anyone wants a cheeseboard, then at least they will know where to find one. Thanks Etsy!
This ad confused everyone in the room with me. 😅 "Why is there a superbowl ad for cheese gift platters? Are those popular these days?" Was my older relatives response. They had 0 clue what Etsy was after watching this, and seem to think it's a company for sending food oriented gift baskets. It totally missed the mark on advertising what Etsy is. To the point that when I tried to explain... they lost interest and focused on other ads instead.
Work on seller support, clowns. Ive been waiting for 4 weeks for an issue that they say can be resolved to actually be resolved. A change in business type. Im losing sales with my shop being closed. Infuriating.
Just wait until the French find out we Americans are hoarding over 1.5 Billion pounds of cheese in underground wear houses And no ... I'm not joking ... I'm dead ********* serious
no way people in France will be happy to get American cheese, no way. With all respect, any American cheese is garbage when compared to European cheeses. Maybe send to France some BBQ like brisket, pulled pork, dino ribs... that's amazing ;)
Tell me you've never had Midwestern artisan cheese without actually telling me. France does soft cheese the best, no doubt. Italy wins with mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano. The Midwest US has some of the best cheese makers in the world, especially Wisconsin, but honestly, they're all over the Midwest. I've traveled all over Europe, and I know what I'm talking about. Every Christmas my family has a cheese board comprised of 30+ cheeses from around the world. The Midwestern US knows what the heck they're doing. To say otherwise is to be completely ignorant.
When I look for a physical item, the first several pages are all custom. There really needs to be a separate category for custom items because not everyone looking for a physical item is looking for a custom item. It is very frustrating for me the consumer looking for designed items to see nothing but an ocean of custom, custom, custom listings which all look the same, before I can get to what I may be searching for.
I tried to contact you to resolve a problem with the suspension of my store which I put in vacation mode for family reasons, I only received a robot response with an Indian name, please answer me I need a human to check my store not a robot
guys, you're missing the obvious. the SHIPS - they are showing support to their drop shipping babies. /sarcasm so sick of etsy not moderating listings - remember when everything was actually hand made on there? not cheaply made, mass manufactured rubbish from china and the likes..? us as real creators have no way of getting through the sea of rubbish to get our stuff seen...
Etsy only cares about the buyers and never the sellers who bring the first people to their site. I left Etsy this month. Etsy in 2013 and now are two very different things.
If they REALLY wanted this ad to be funny they would have presented a platter of American Cheese, which everyone in the culinary world & the rest of the world knows is NOT real cheese. Hahaha!!!🤣
I like the style and concept. I wish the story line was more geared towards the types of handmade items more popular on Etsy versus cheese… not the greatest gift idea imo.
Ok, that was actually funny. Not cheesy in the least. I've had an etsy shop since 2012 and remember when nobody knew what Etsy was ( "Itsy? Betsy? Eetsy?" they'd all ask) I used to wish they'd make a commercial so I didn't have to spell and explain what it was. And here we are. You've come a long way, Etsy!
Well that was weird. Completely underwhelmed. You paid someone for this? I've got to get off etsy. I can't believe you spend money on this but you can't fix the problems you had meanwhile letting people go. Bad job, etsy.
Drew Barrymore is the "Chief Gifting Officer?" The same Drew Barrymore who tried to force her staff back to work during the writers' strike? Sounds like you guys support those who hate the working class.
terrible advertising, as uninformative as possible, what is the commercial about? putting out a cover that says "Etsy" would be much more effective, people would at least Google what it is. (joke)
Total waste of money!!! Etsy are dead and you are throwing money to this add about nothing !!! looks like its your last year on market as a platform!!!!
Hmm, looks like my comment from earlier was deleted. I complemented the ad but I guess I shouldn’t have pointed out that gift mode has actual categories dedicated to fan art.

They also like wine. Imagine getting all excited over a cheese board. Hysterical ad 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am French. This is funny. (Stop the drama folks!😉)
It's really not. They spent over $7 million to play off the stereotypes of French people instead of supporting artists and weeding out plagiarism on their platform.
I loved the Mime's reaction. Funny commercial.
Freaking brilliant, best Super Bowl commercial , hands down
Ok this was laugh out loud funny 😂
The concept of the statue of Liberty arriving on a small boat was funny!
And not even on the center of the boat! 😂😂😂
I thought this commercial was hilarious and very clever.
I wish they had spent this money on improving their customer service!
So this is where $7M (yes, millions) of our fees will go.
That's insane
To insult French ppl? What a bargain
"Our" fees??
@@APTKSU the money they take from us, the sellers. I believe they can spend them more wisely, that's all. Like, hiring and training some support staff.
i mean its so it brings people to the site and buy our stuff? i don't see what the problem is
Maybe those millions would be better spent towards competent and reliable real human sellers support, fixing your out of control AI bots and actually taking care of sellers - the ones that bring in the revenue!
There is now more competition on Etsy than ever for sellers. Increasing the traffic Etsy gets will directly support us so we can make more sales.
I sent to someone twice over covid, of course the mail was really slow...and they reported me to Etsy. The seller has no way to fight back so then they had their money back plus 2 of the things I sold them.

What hosting platform do you use please? And how would you rate it? Shopify is the only one I've heard consistently positive things about
I love this ad

Entire point of this commercial is hello world! We think like you! Different than Amazon! Mission accomplished.
I love this ad! The best ad released during the Super Bowl.
This is disappointing. This money for this ad could have been used elsewhere.
Like improve Customer Service!
How much did y'all waste on that POS commercial?
Bad cgi check. Diversity checkboxes despite being a time where they make no sense check.
Etsy, Brazil needs you guys here!!! Hello?!
I ,love how the mime pops up!
That was freaking hilarious!!
I have a totally irrational love and obsession for this spot
Very creative!
This is the only Super Bowl commercial that made me laugh out loud.
Made me chuckle 😊 Most people should be able to relate to it too.
This makes no sense for Etsy... W TF....
The baguettes flying 😂😂
Well if only Etsy stop holding payment funds and have accessible customer service would’ve been nice
Just wait until the French find out we Americans are hoarding over 1.5 Billion pounds of cheese in underground wear houses
And no ... I'm not joking ... I'm dead ********* serious
*You're a fool if you think France (and other countries) doesn't hoard like the US government does.*
my fav🤣💕
Wildly imaginative❗️A mime is a terrible thing to waste. 😅
ahhahaaa

When will Kenya be eligible for your platform? Lots of people wanna sell.
So this iswher$7M(yes,millions)of our fees will go
You spent money on this?
Right?! They laid off 11% of the staff, and THEN spent money on this.
Ooh! That's it!
I don't care about the other comments, give me cheese
Ouu lala
Oui
Can I add my virtual assistant to my Etsy account to save my account from suspension?😢

Til you need insurance then dad you were right
Best commercial ever.
Live customer service support for Etsy sellers would have been a better use of the ad money.
Can I add my virtual assistant to my Etsy account to save my account from suspension? I am waiting for your kind response
Hello there
What is the name of your store am an etsy consultant which have helped many store owners
Can we have a bettwr discussion on it

STOP SPAMMING YALLS ANNOYING ADS
why etsy love to suspended shop, they seem don't like money
isn't worth the (ton of) money.. this ad is bad (sorry to be that direct)
Etsy sellers here complaining about the cost of the commercial and eBay sellers on another forum complaining they had no commercial. 🤔😆😆
I've been watching your 'You tube channel and I'm impressed. I'd love to share some growth ideas with you.
😍
Hi I was wondering if I could recieve ESTY email showing me all the White male shops that I can support thank you
❤
Whoever came up with this and approved it... are you delusional??
So lame. You need a new ad agency or VP of marketing. Boring and lame
Underwhelmed. Gift Mode? More like Wish Mode. If you can't beat em, join em, right Etsy?
Are those toilet plungers on the right side of the cheese board? 😂
No, it's just round holders for the american flag and French flag.
Etsy only cares about the buyers and never the sellers who bring the first people to their site. I left Etsy this month. Etsy in 2013 and now are two very different things.
This is so cute! Love it.. :D

We’d like to gift you a big thank you for this. And then we’d probably have to send some kettlebells if shipping isn’t too much.
Does someone sells cheese on Etsy?.....
I am very afraid! I fear Etsy will become a laughing stock.
It passed laughing stock few years back.
Etsy is a laughing stock.

Love it! Love the concept and the script is to the point:) I also like the how it was lit and filmed:) Kudos to the DP and all!

Marketing team needs a raise this is brilliant
Well, they say that the important thing is that they talk. It doesn't matter if they speak badly, right? 🤭🤭🤭
when I saw the freeze-frame intro, I though, "WHAT??". But once I watched it, I laughed and laughed. Fabulous!

I love the idea of the new gift section. I sell Bridal bouquets and not sure of the impact this will have on my shop.
Really? what a JOKE! ETSY needs a new marketing director. Gosh who comes up with this idiocy
