Monthly Sales Report

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 December 2023. Sales on Etsy in comparison with previous months After the traditionally robust month for Etsy sellers in November, it's noteworthy to observe a dip in sales for December on a monthly basis. However, this decline is a mere 10% compared to November. Thus, following the substantial surge of over 50% in November, post this dip, we observe that sales in the last month of the year still surpass values seen in July, August, September, and October. Moreover, December stands as the second-strongest month for sales on Etsy, right after November. As anticipated…

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…

Sales on Etsy in comparison with previous months In June, we observed a considerable decline in the average daily sales on Etsy. This trend persists for the third month in a row, with June experiencing a more significant drop. 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. Should we be concerned about these numbers and interpret them as a sign of Etsy losing its appeal among buyers?…

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…
