Each month we will be publishing on the Koalanda blog a brief report on the Etsy sales of the preceding month. Here is the report for August 2023. Sales on Etsy in comparison with previous months This month, we're kicking off the report with some fantastic news. Etsy's sales have once again outperformed the previous month. With the platform's peak months still on the horizon, we can take comfort in knowing that the slowest months of the year are behind us, and sales are poised for growth.

Each month we will be publishing on the Koalanda blog a brief report on the Etsy sales of the preceding month. Here is the report for July 2023. Sales on Etsy in comparison with previous months For the first time in months, we have some positive news to share in our sales report - Etsy sales are showing an increase compared to the previous month. After three consecutive months of slight declines, July's sales have seen a modest rise, with a platform-wide increase of about 1.7%. While it may not be a significant surge, especially considering the 3 to 5% declines in previous months, it's evident that this is more likely a seasonal trend rather than a genuine risk for…

Following the declines of approximately 4% and 3% in the previous two months, the decrease in June amounts to around 5%. So far, June is the slowest month for Etsy sellers in 2023.

However, there's no need to be overly concerned about it as the decline is not significant and is typically expected during these months. Summer months are…

Each month we will be publishing on the Koalanda blog a brief report on the Etsy sales of the preceding month. Here is the report for April 2023. Sales on Etsy in comparison with previous months In April, average daily sales on Etsy dropped almost 4% compared to March. While March saw an increase in sales for the first time since November 2022, April had fewer sales per day on average than January and February, making it the weakest month for Etsy sales in 2023 so far. But don't worry too much about this. The differences are small, and there's no cause for concern. It's normal for Etsy to have weaker sales in this period. Looking at the graph below,…

Sales on Etsy in comparison with previous months In our previous report, we showed that sales on Etsy in February remained flat compared to January. The same holds true for this month's report - sales on Etsy during March appear to be stable and at levels similar to those observed in the previous two months. The graph clearly shows peaks during weekends when Etsy buyers tend to shop more, and this applies to online shopping in general. Although there is a slightly stronger first half of the month, there isn't a significant…

Upon reviewing the data, it's evident that in February there were no significant fluctuations in sales, with no notable spikes or dips. The…

Sales on Etsy in comparison with previous months The new year has started just as expected for those of us on Koalanda’s team in charge of monitoring the volume of Etsy sales. So far this year, we see the same trends that were evident last year. Those of you who feel like sales have stopped since January and everything is going downhill can breathe a sigh of relief. There is no room for panic. The reason for the perceived January slump often has to do with the fact that people compare the…
