I know what you're thinking — gothic? In summer? Hear me out . This is one of the fastest-growing aesthetics on Etsy right now, especially in the wedding niche. Think deep florals, lace details, candlelit vibes, Victorian-inspired touches. The numbers are wild: 🔺 Vintage bar accessories: +1,550% 🔺 Stained glass wedding signs: +200% 🔺 Lace accessories: +63% Even outside weddings — moody, dramatic, romantic designs are pulling buyers in across decor, jewelry, and digital art. If you haven't considered a "dark romance" version of your best-selling product… this summer might be the time to test it.

Summer is a calendar of deadlines. Be sure to plan ahead and get your products up 60-90 days in advance to allow the algorithm time to categorize your listing and get a head start on your competition. Deadline = urgency = sales. • Graduation (now through June) — grad shirts, custom keepsakes, money holders, senior apparel • Father’s Day (April–June) — wanderlust/travel themes, outdoor adventure, personalized gifts, humor • 4th of July — patriotic POD apparel, totes, mugs • Back to school (July–August) — teacher appreciation, classroom decor printables, student planners Digital ideas: editable cards, printable planners, party printables for each occasion

I am working on a series of workshops for my community members and would love your input. What would you like to learn about selling on Etsy…. Think 30-45 minute live session

To optimize your Etsy titles for search, follow this simple formula: What is it+ who is it for + why do they need it That’s all that needs to go in the title. Everything g else goes in your tags, attributes, alt tags etc…

Most Etsy sellers build their shop backwards. They chase trends…then wonder why sales are inconsistent. Here’s the fix 👇 💡 Use the 80/20 rule: 👉 80% = Evergreen products(things people buy year-round) 👉 20% = Trends + holidays(short-term spikes) Why this works: ✔ Evergreen = consistent sales✔ Trends = extra bursts of traffic + cash 🚨 If you’re mostly doing trends right now…that’s why your sales feel all over the place. 🔥 Quick check: Look at your listings… Are you building a steady shopor just chasing spikes? 💬 Drop “EVERGREEN” or “TRENDS”based on what you’ve been focusing on 👀
