Offering Too Many Products Too Quickly I once thought more listings meant more sales. I started listing every idea I had, which left my shop looking messy and disjointed. Eventually, I realised that sticking to a clear theme and gradually expanding my catalog allowed me to focus on quality over quantity, improving my brand’s appeal and cohesion.

How can I make my Etsy shop more visible to customers?

Pinterest has been an invaluable tool for me to predict trends and align my Etsy shop with customer interests before they peak. By searching niche keywords related to my products on Pinterest, I’ve discovered trending themes, colors, and designs that resonate with my target audience. For example, when I noticed a rise in “botanical patterns” trending on Pinterest boards, I introduced floral-themed items into my shop, and they became bestsellers. Additionally, Pinterest Predicts (their annual report) has helped me identify upcoming trends early, allowing me to design and launch products ahead of the competition. It’s a straightforward, visual way to stay ahead of customer demands and continuously refresh my product ideas! Best regards Tom Carr
