Ideas for How to Use All 14 Tags on etsy.com part 2
If you used yesterday’s tips and still came up short of 14 etsy tags, here are a few more suggestions. I hope you end up having to decide which tags to keep and which to ditch!
Technique
What method did you use to create this item? If you used more than one, add these to your list of tags. If one of your stitches or patterns was prominently featured, there’s another tag. Someone may be searching for a ‘wedding ring’ patterned quilt instead of just ‘hand made quilt’.
You can add handcrafted, hand stitched, or handmade, too. Even though this is obvious to those on the etsy site, it may help to draw traffic from google and other search engines.
Season or Holiday
Are the colors or the theme of your item compatible with any specific seasons or holidays? Even if your item wasn’t made with this in mind, it may help move some merch! It’s also a good idea to tag it as a gift if you are willing to package the item as such.
