Christmas in July preparation

I know that a lot of people aren't in the mood to think about Christmas.  If you sell on Etsy, you should be thinking about Christmas in July!  It's a great promotional opportunity.  I have a number of Christmas designs left over from last year and will be marking down a number of red and green items.  I'm also releasing a few new items and re-stocking popular items...which means that I need to get them done.  Before July...how is that less than a couple weeks away?







Who else is getting ready for Christmas in July on Etsy?  What new projects and promotions do you have in the works for it?

  1. You might want to have your clickable links open in a new window/tab - that way folks don't have to use the back arrow to come back and read the rest of your post. You can find the code HERE. (This won't open in a new window because that bit of code doesn't work in a comments box....)

  6. Great idea, Rose, to do a Christmas in July promotion! It's helpful when you have some items in inventory to get the ball rolling.

  7. if I had a lot of green and red items, I would plan for a Christmas in July sale. But I don't have too much, to start with. Great idea - hope it goes well! {:-D

  9. Looks like you have the right colors for the season. I don't have anything in stock yet for Christmas so I will probably pass it by but it is a reminder to get ready for the fall!

  10. Looks like a fun Christmas creation! What I sell pretty much goes all year around, so all I do is stay on top of listing during the Fall. No plans for a sale in July for me...
