EPISODE SUMMARY:  

In this episode of "How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy," we dive into one of my favorite topics: TRENDS! As someone who has been on the Etsy platform since 2016, I understand how intimidating it can be to navigate the ever-changing landscape of online selling. But fear not! I'm here to be your big sister in this journey, sharing insights and strategies that can help you connect with your calling and grow your Etsy shop.

We kick off the episode by discussing the importance of understanding trends and how they can lead to faster and bigger results for sellers. I share my personal experience of feeling overwhelmed when I first started, and how I only began to grasp the significance of trends last year. I emphasize that everything is learnable, and I'm here to guide you through it.

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Etsy ads. I address a common question I receive about whether they are worth the investment. Drawing from my own experience, I explain how I scaled my shop's revenue from $6,000 to over $12,000 a month by utilizing Etsy ads strategically. I also introduce a fantastic resource, Profit Tree, a tool designed to help sellers track their profits and understand their numbers better, which is crucial for running a successful business.

As we transition into the main topic of trends, I highlight the need for visual understanding. I encourage listeners to join my Trendspotting membership, where they can access valuable resources, including a font pairing guide and design coaching. I outline the exciting bonuses available for members, such as double opportunities for listings and back-to-school trend spotting.

Next, I delve into the current and upcoming trends, emphasizing the importance of planning ahead. I discuss the concept of "Summerween," a fun blend of summer and Halloween elements, and the need to start designing for back-to-school and fall. I explore the vintage patterns that are making a comeback, particularly in the context of fall decor, and how colors like olive green and mustard yellow are trending.

Throughout the episode, I touch on various summer trends, including the fisherman aesthetic, fruit motifs, Italian vibes, and the resurgence of 90s retro elements. I also discuss evergreen trends that can be combined with seasonal themes for maximum impact, such as the coquette trend and the continued popularity of vintage styles.

As we wrap up, I share insights on Christmas trends, highlighting the influence of European styles and the colors that are expected to dominate this holiday season. I also reference Etsy's seller handbook, which outlines key trends like the literary girl and messy coquette, providing listeners with actionable insights to apply to their shops.

Join me in this episode as we explore the vibrant world of Etsy trends, and let's work together to harness these insights to elevate your shop and connect with your audience in meaningful ways!
