As soon as I start thinking this way....items that have been invisible get favorited. Your video makes sense to a certain extent if you want a better conversion rate, but most ETSY gurus will tell you that you need to have as many listings as possible. I'm hovering at a 1.7% conversion rate for the year. The issue is that my site doesn't get enough traffic for more sales. I think revisiting listings and trying to figure out how to get more traffic to those listing would be better than de-activating listings. Most of the Etsy guru's I've watched talk about logging in everyday and being active in your store. Etsy 'used' to like that. I guess my point is that you'll never know when a customer is looking for your item - if you deactivate it, you'll never make that sell.
My conversion rate last month was 17.6%. I list new stuff regularly, get rid of the dead listing's, have switched on ads and yet still my sales have stopped almost entirely.
I'm scrolling on youtube to find someone to watch with valuable things to say and it was worth the time to watch this. I love to watch deeper level knowledge about etsy and I think you are smart on this game. Thank you
Thank you, I needed to hear this. I’ve got over 70 products in my Etsy shop - the majority of them are one-off non- repeatable clothing items. I intend this year to update the listings each in turn, and hope to see an increase in sales!
I'm kinda new to etsy (not amazon) but as I have a lot of micro niche products I set them to not auto renew after 4 months. Each one takes 20 minutes ..ir less to produce. Has a small but very targeted search term relevancy .Basically be ause of the nature of what I'm producing via POD it's putting them out - letting the ones that don't sell after 4 months not renew, Improving product designing according to what is starting to sell and then occasionally going through expired ones and seeing if some deserve a 2nd chance. May not be the most profitable of all approaches but its starting to work and actually seems in line with what you're saying Or have I missed ao etching? - list - adjust improve - older lustings removed - adding new continuously (well.. with peaks and troughs )
My best-selling candle at the same time last year was the first in the candles, but it got copied by every other candle maker... and as a Canadian shop, I can't totally compete with the United States even when offering a personalized message under the candle lid.
In your opinion, do inactive and sold listings affect the conversion rate, since they no longer have views or sales? Should we delete them from our history?
Bro I thought this was just me OMG wow I was about to say I guess I'm just have to shut down because apparently nobody likes my top selling products anymore LOL
I usually will determine an item is DCW'ing after 9 re-ups. Or if it has never sold (dups). It sounds like re-upping just creates items that are DCW. Do you have any suggestions for this? It's a Vintage Advertising store with over 400-500 listings (and up to 700 at some points)
After 3 renewals, its safe to safe the listing is dead. I'd relist with altered title and tags. Maybe try a different thumbnail as well. Great question!
I have been looking for useful information on this topic for months. This was so helpful! I have deactivated my dead listings and will put my faith in my popular listings plus add some new ones. Thank you so much for the insight!
Wow, I can relate to this so much! I am facing a competitor on Etsy and was curious about what people were saying regarding a sales downturn on Etsy. That's how I found your channel. It's only been a few days since my sales have dropped, and before that, I was doing quite well. When you mentioned the issue of many competitors, it really resonated with me. There are so many stores similar to mine, offering the same products. Thank you for the motivation and insight!
Thank you Dave, so if we have over 50 completely dead listings, is it okay to just delete them in one day? Or would that be worse? (I currently have 400 listings total in shop)
No do it slowly. Like 5 a day. You actually ideally want to replace them too. Unless the products totally suck, its likely just the listings title, tags, and thumbnail causing poor performance.
Literally the best explanation and advice I’ve come across by far. Wow no wonder my shop died. I have a QUESTION 🎉!!! If I deactivate and deactivate the listing, does it renew it as new? Also if I renew the listing does that also give it a boost and starts it fresh?
@@AddToCartEtsySuccess I bet! I’m here right now deleting the dead weight. Fingers crossed for me! So would you say, deleting the listing and trying to relist as new is best? I know they would sell but I’ve listed them when I was brand new so they never really got a chance..
@@Straingelove Yes relist as new with better titles and tags! But you cant just remove all the dead weight at once. Depending on the amount of listings you have, that can hurt you. If you can, id reccommend joining the Six Figure Seller course. Its in the description.
@@AddToCartEtsySuccessoh ok that makes sense. But oh no removing dead weight at once can hurt? It’s so hard to figure Etsy out, that alone is a job in and of itself 😞. Financially I’m unable to join anything at this time. That’s why I’m trying to learn as much I can to help my shop 😢
Thank you for your valuable video and advices:) I'm just wondering what to do when I launched a new store in February, and various people's opinions are that it's very good, I see that many stores sell similar wall art successfully. I started in February, I have 124 products and 11 sales. Virtually each of my products has 0 views, although I also created SEO and descriptions based on trends. I don't know what to do now, should I delete the products that have 0 views, what should I do? I'm sure they're of good quality and on par with the competition, but still 0-1 views. I will be very grateful for your advice
All sellers know about it bla bla bla......... You just like to increase number of watchers, but NOTHING NEW!!!!All seller are guilty, but not ETSY!!!? How much they pay you!!??

Thats insanely high. Is it a new store, or a rare niche? You should email me
@AddToCartEtsySuccess My shop is 11 months old, so relatively new and I sell greetings cards so it's a very common niche.
@@RexterDoesEverything-2014 youre killing it then at that conv rate. Id love to have a chat if you wanna email me addtocartetsysuccess@gmail.com
@@AddToCartEtsySuccess Thank you, I have sent you an email.

Don't change existing listings title and tags
@@AddToCartEtsySuccess no - i would only ever review tags if the 4 months expired and it deactivated - and then review them IF decoding to re-list
My shop went down 57% this year compared to last year!!! 😢
My best-selling candle at the same time last year was the first in the candles, but it got copied by every other candle maker... and as a Canadian shop, I can't totally compete with the United States even when offering a personalized message under the candle lid.
Wow! That is almost exactly what has happened to me. I have added listings and have made sure to list items that have been good sellers.
Wow. Mine are down 40 percent over last year. Something is going on. 😢
@Lissbirds It's difficult, especially that this is my full-time job, and in my City, there aren't many Markets.
In your opinion, do inactive and sold listings affect the conversion rate, since they no longer have views or sales? Should we delete them from our history?
Do inactive listings affect conversion rate? No. They shouldnt. If theyre inactive youre good.
I think I needed to hear this. Thank you. I feel motivated. Wish me luck!
You're welcome!
Hi! Thank you for this. I'm wondering about an old listing that has had 5 renewals and 1 sale. Is it worth keeping it up? What do you think?
@@pillady 5 renewals is beating a dead horse.
Bro I thought this was just me OMG wow I was about to say I guess I'm just have to shut down because apparently nobody likes my top selling products anymore LOL
Haha yes its extremely common! You can shoot me an email if you want
What do you sell? What's your store name? We can follow each other depending on your niche.
Im motivated to learn more, im new and was busy for 2 months now crickets chirping 😢

Youre welcome! Theres a bit more to it, so if you want to learn feel free to book a consult call with me ( in description)
Please let me know if it worked.
Can you copy the listing to publish then delete the original listing?
Do you need to delete complete the listing that doesn’t sell or can you just desactivate it?
Just deactivate is fine!

@@Andiamo89 I would keep going until you hit 200 listings, but it largely depends on what your store looks like. So its hard to say
Very informative video man! Do you recommend deleting our old listings that never sell or is simply deactivating those listings good enough?
Thanks! Just deactivating is fine. Theyre both the same in the eyes of the AI overlords. 😁
You are awesome! I know what you are saying is true! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Thanks Suzanne! I appreciate that. 🙏
