Not so far, at least as my Etsy shop is concerned. So often I heard about the holiday rush for Etsy shops. Sellers who have had their shops for a year, talked about how much business picks up when holiday shopping begins. I read lot's of tips about how to prepare for this busy time. Those of us who weren't around to witness it, were eagerly waiting the much talked about sales. Well I gotta say, it's been quite the opposite for me, so far. It is only November 9th, so I'm still hoping. But, so far, the past month or so have been the worst ever, since opening my shop. There have been a huge increase in new shops opening up, which explains the slow sales. When so many new shops are opening, while not so many new shoppers are visiting, it sure does change things in Etsy land. I hope that despite the growth in sellers, as Christmas gets nearer, that sales pick up a bit.
