Ideas for How to Use All 14 Tags on Etsy.com part 1

Published by neonola under Listing Tips Edit This

The tags you use with your etsy listing help to draw traffic (customers!) to your items. Using all of these tags makes it more likely that your item will be found, but sometimes it seems difficult to think of 14 tags for your item. Here’s a little help.

What is it?

Go beyond the obvious first impression of the item. What category does it fall into? What specific type of doohickey is it? For example, you may list a cuff style bracelet, which is jewelry. That’s 3 tags already!

Texture and Color

Is the item soft, fuzzy, or smooth? Tag it. Instead of just saying a piece is green, also specify what shade of green.
