Seller How-To: Get Involved With Black Friday and Cyber Monday Promotions

Black Friday through Cyber Monday is a recognized shopping weekend that has quickly gained a reputation as the best time of year to find promotional sales on gifts for the holidays. For businesses, it is recognized as one of the most profitable weekends of the year that officially kicks off the busy holiday rush. We want to get the word out about shopping on Etsy for unique handmade and vintage gifts — instead of waiting in lines at the mall! The buzz about special Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales is ramping up on Etsy, and we hope to connect sellers with otherwise stressed out holiday deal-hunters in a fun and "Etsy" way.

We've seen interest from many sellers looking to promote sales on Etsy throughout this holiday weekend. Etsy will be providing promotional opportunities for sellers who are already planning or wish to host promotions and sales Friday, November 27, 2009 through Monday, November 30, 2009. The opportunities outlined below are open to all sellers wishing to participate and are completely optional. Find out how to get involved!

Site-Wide Tags
Etsy will be hosting and promoting two site-wide tags that link to search results for holiday promotions. To make sure your items show up in these searches, please tag each of your designated items with one or both of the following tags, if they meet the criteria for your promotion. There is no limit for the number of items you may tag.

  • Free Shipping: Sellers offering any type of free shipping promotion should tag the items offered with the term "EtsyFreeShipping." Remember to set the shipping to zero on the tagged items during this date or spell out in your description how the free shipping may be obtained. (The shipping amount does not need to be changed until the dates mentioned above.) Be sure to begin tagging your items and including promotional details in your item listings now, as Etsy staff will be gathering items to feature far in advance. Etsy will not be actively promoting the shopping promotion until the aforementioned dates.
  • Etsy Holiday Sale: Sellers offering ANY type of promotion throughout these dates should tag relevant items with the term "EtsyHolidaySale." Make sure to spell out the details of your promotion clearly in your tagged listings' descriptions, your shop announcement, and titles (if you have room). 


Social Networking

  • Do you have a Twitter account? Promote your sales on Twitter with the #EtsyFreeShipping and #EtsyHolidaySale hash tags. We'll be following these tags closely throughout the entire weekend, linking to the Etsy search terms, and we will encourage our Twitter followers to search Tweets containing these two hash tags.
  • Keep in mind that your banner is a great promotional tool for calling attention to your sale. Need a sale banner in a jiffy? Grab one from our Resource page or use Etsy's bannerator.
  • We'll be feeding items with the promotional tags into Kaboodle throughout the weekend. Submit your favorite items throughout the weekend to gain exposure for your shop.

Emails, Gift Guides, and Home Page Collections
Throughout the weekend we'll be highlighting items with promotional offers in Etsy Finds emails, Gift Guides, and home page collections. We'll be selecting items from nominations in this Forum thread as well as items tagged with "EtsyFreeShipping" and "EtsyHolidaySale." Be sure to start tagging your items and listing your details in the item listings now as Etsy staff will be gathering items to feature in advance. The emails, Gift Guides, and home page collections will include information instructing shoppers how to use the site-wide search tags.

Home Page Banners
Throughout the weekend Etsy will rotate banners with promotional messaging in order to direct shoppers specifically looking for sales this weekend to those areas of the site. The wording on these banners will be clear that this weekend's promotions are from a selection of sellers, not the entire selling membership on Etsy.


Thanks in advance for your participation!

Nov. 20, 2009 at 7:02 p.m. sonyarasi

Yeah! Thanks!

Nov. 20, 2009 at 7:02 p.m. XOHandworks

How about promoting the value of handmade and making a living wage, instead of featuring sellers willing to lower their profit margin? I have honest and fair prices on my items every day, and I'm not going to raise my prices so that I can afford to do a sale. My handcrafted business is my fulltime job and I don't believe I should have to lower my 'wage' in order to be featured.

Nov. 20, 2009 at 7:08 p.m. sonyarasi

Yeah! Thanks!

Nov. 20, 2009 at 7:11 p.m. zerva

i have already start to change my tags, %20 off discount i offer in my shop

Nov. 20, 2009 at 7:27 p.m. themefragrance

Don't forget to utilize Etsy Hacks! You can copy and edit your listings easily and rapidly for this event. It may be easier for many to do. Just an idea.

Nov. 20, 2009 at 7:28 p.m. MarjoriesNook

Nov. 20, 2009 at 9:39 p.m. yenjewelry

can anyone suggest how i can start tagging for shipping now, in order to get a chance to get in a feature mentioned in the article above, BUT not have the shipping offer work until black Friday? that is the part that is throwing me for a loop. thanks!

Nov. 20, 2009 at 9:40 p.m. BeckyKayDesigns

Will get to work on this right away! Thanks!

I am tagged and ready -- offering free shipping through the holidays. I also gift wrap all purchases so they are ready for holiday giving. Thanks!!

Nov. 20, 2009 at 10:18 p.m. pixiebell

uummm ya ..I can't see how it is a good idea to include "sale" or "free shipping" in our tags now if we aren't running a sale or having free shipping until then. Do you know how many people search with those tags and how many items are going to come up this week but not actually be on sale or have free shipping?

Nov. 20, 2009 at 10:22 p.m. MidwestAlchemy

Ready to go with tags changed! Looking forward to a wonderful holiday season!

Nov. 20, 2009 at 10:29 p.m. DawnCorrespondence

This is much better than going shopping in the mall by far!! I've been saying that on my Facebook pages for weeks now!

Nov. 21, 2009 at 12:06 a.m. AMothersArt

We (who has FB) should designate our status line to promote Etsy.com as well as the sales Nov. 27 - Nov. 30. I think that would definitely generate buyers! I'll be doing it. Anything to help out a great community like Etsy!

Nov. 21, 2009 at 12:06 a.m. theqstore

Art isn't something that goes on sale IMO, and I certainly can't afford to ship for free. I guess I'll have to sit this one out along with many of my fellow artists here.

Nov. 24, 2009 at 7:28 a.m. happylake

I'm in..thanks!!!

Nov. 24, 2009 at 8:11 a.m. Timeless

All of this would be great if 'simply changing your tags' wasn't anything less than simple here on Etsy, especially if you have over a page worth of items.

Also: why encourage your sellers to sell under their normal price, or to include free shipping which will end up costing them money?

Promote handmade, Etsy, not 'Etsy, the online fleemarket...'

Nov. 24, 2009 at 8:21 a.m. SaintReagansHollow

Very excited! It's our first sale participation here on Etsy. I've been knitting my little fingers off to get things ready for this weekend!

Nov. 24, 2009 at 9:24 a.m. quiltingcafe

So glad you put this in early so I could tag all my etsy items before I start cooking!

Nov. 24, 2009 at 9:39 a.m. AllThingsTinsel

Sounds great! Super excited.

Nov. 24, 2009 at 9:47 a.m. frogprincessdesigns

Count me in! I will start changing tagging and get a new banner up there too :)
Thanks for the great tips!

Nov. 24, 2009 at 11:49 a.m. Timeless

Also: the last I heard Etsy does not refund their fees if you decide to refund your buyers a bit off the price as part of your holiday or weekend sale. So if you want to do a sale, adjust your prices, because else Etsy will get fees on the full amount.

Nov. 24, 2009 at 12:12 p.m. IcingOnTheCupcake

We will be offering FREE SHIPPING!

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...

oh..I have got to go tag everything real quick!

Nov. 24, 2009 at 4:57 p.m. beadwizzard

possible problem. I try very hard to use all of the tags allowed for my products, so if I add the sale tags will they stick? Do they overwrite something I already have? or do I have to go through over 100 products and remove a tag to get the new ones? Yikes!

Nov. 24, 2009 at 5:03 p.m. FlightsofFancyDesign

Nov. 25, 2009 at 12:26 a.m. HomeMadeOriginals

I've just finished tagging all the appropriate items in my shop and I noticed something I found disturbing when I did a search for "etsyholidaysale". I found shops where a small number of items are actually on sale (e.g. buy one get one free for one type of small item) but Everything in their shop is tagged with "etsyholidaysale".

Nov. 25, 2009 at 12:47 a.m. MichelleWey

Thanks for the opportunity.

This is cool, but when every Etsy member tags all of their items then it is no different than having no promotion at all.

Thanks...it's too much effort to tag over 120 items without a "batch tag" type of tool...so I'm participating but without the tagging!

I'm doing it this time. . .

Nov. 27, 2009 at 10:27 a.m. OriginalsByLynnette

I wish there was a way to do a batch tag update... with many, many items in my shop, it's hard to update each listing for a sale.

Nov. 27, 2009 at 10:56 a.m. frolicnfibers

15% or free shipping off of two or more items!!! Hey, who's that llama in a Santa Hat???!

Nov. 27, 2009 at 11:27 a.m. sncartandmore

Help! Maybe I can figure out all of this by this time next. I've went to the forum and asked how to create a sale on my existing 8X10's and the answer was create a new catagory with the word SALE. For me this was unobtainable. I have dial up and that would have taken hours in the midst of the holiday rush. By this time next year I'll switch to free shipping but again with dial up changing 45+ items was simply unobtainable. A link on bulk editing would be helpful.

Nov. 27, 2009 at 12:04 p.m. HandPaintedPetals

Ain't Life grand?! Got my tags changed okay (I'm a newbie so not 100's yet!). Offering free US shipping on same-day orders over $50...

Will post more goodies today! THANK YOU ETSY!

Wow. Here's an easier way to rip yourself off that won't take nearly as much time: Use dollar bills as padding when shipping your items. Even kids can do it!

But it's nice to know that so many sellers jack up their normal prices so that when it comes time to ridiculously discount them they can still make a profit. Because surely you aren't selling yourselves short and giving away the farm, are you? You are? Oh. You might rethink that.

Fair prices and good products, no ripping anyone off, including myself, that's what MY motives are going to be this month.

My prices reflect the value for each item taking into account unique design, sourcing varied components, hand construction, time and effort. I produce one of a kind hand made items which cannot be compared to mass production items. Therefore I am unable to offer mass production reductions on my items. My prices offer value and are the same year round. That was why I joined Etsy, to join a group of artisans not a group of mass producers.

Nov. 29, 2009 at 2:09 p.m. powerandlight

I'm doing a buy one, get one free promotion for all letterpress cards! I'll have it posted in my tags and in my shop announcement.
