On the front page of the Etsy website, they always feature 'handpicked items.' This is consisted of 12 items from different sellers on Etsy that one person has picked as their 'treasury'. Now when that treasury gets chosen out of many that gets submitted everyday, it gets featured on the front page of Etsy for about 10 min everyday for a week or so. (something like that...) So if you are lucky enough to have one of your product picked by an etsier for her treasury, and that etsier is lucky enough to get her treasury picked by the Etsy Admin, then that means one of your item gets its attention for a little while on the very front page! Now this is an excellent marketing opportunity that any seller would love to have.

Now see that purple clutch at the top right corner?

Yep, a Davie and Chiyo clutch!

Now when you go to the main page of my Etsy shop, you can see that that clutch as a quite a few more views than another clutch of the same sort.

You can also see that 'Airforce Polka Dots' has tons of views. Now that was from being featured in the Gift guide that I mentioned in my last blog post.

Ps. Have you noticed that I have added glasses cases to my web shop??? So far, those seem to be doing the best on Etsy so I might start concentrating on that line more than others!
