hmmm - well I'm sure that being in and commenting on other treasuries did help to make me more visable and I have had a number of sales on Etsy - I don't recall any of them being directly because of being in a treasury.

I do think it helps! :)

unless someone marked me to buy from at a later date, and have no way of knowing that.

BUT....I definitely think keeping your store fresh and participating in the treasuries, either through commenting or creating your own, is worthwhile. Especially if Etsy is your main sales venue!

I have bought several items from treasuries.

I find that you do have to "work" Etsy to get sales. Reposting items and being in a treasury have both sold items at my shop.

no sales at all due to treasury (:-))

I was very active a few weeks, then on trip these last weeks, but I was wondering, doubting, so your question here and now, Kris, is very very interesting !!! I ll continue, but,...

strange. I think a daily care of the shop (reposting, renewing etc.) brings much more visits and potential sales

BUT treasury = possibly (?) relationship, care

treasury for sales-increasing, now, after a while, I think no... at least no more than a good shop-maintenance,
because the number of views is not so dramatical compared to the views coming if re-posting etc.

-----------

maybe that is true - but it is easier to get a treasury than it is to load 50 new itmes in your store a week...lol

-----------

exposure = ?
...unless our line, in the treasury, would come to the "hot"-colours (but now it means hundreds of clicks, as far as I could see huge groups acting there)
... that would mean that we would be a huge group, clicking regularly on them - which we do-, but we are just a few fellows there (:-))

---------

hmm it might come in handy if we started posting when we are featured on our blogs/websites much like stacie rose did. with a link provided - that would bring our own personal outside traffic in and some new possible patrons to etsy. (?)

----------

if this is worth the time and effort, dunno, before all, right, they are time-spending, difficult to catch

I ll try to continue to do some more anyway, but probably not so intensively

my best hope was : treasury and possible exposure on homepage
but
I never saw how they pick one treasury to put it on the homepage,
that WOULD bring something.
but how do they decide ?

so what do you think we should do, Kris ?

I love to look at them though...I've also found some wonderful things that way....there are so many sellers on Etsy that it gets overwhelming sometimes so looking at treasuries helps to find cool stuff...

I've done a few featured things, where pay to have a link to your store very visible at certain times and days...and I don't think I've had any response from those at all..so I stopped doing it...
