Relevancy and Tags

Last week I talked about Etsy's changes to their search function and Relevancy being the new default search option. I got lots of good feedback from that post, so I thought I'd do another on tagging your items to become "relevant".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Etsy recently changed their policy on tagging to allow multi-word tags! This is great for sellers as it allows us to tag our items more accurately and to be more relevant!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People commented last week that they enjoyed seeing examples, so I'll give you some examples for tagging this week as well :)
for this listing, I used 4 multi-word tags that I think buyers will enter into search together.
*Photo Album
*Laser Engraved
*Baby Boy
*Baby Girl
These are all "Etsy-legal" because they are still only describing one thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is another example:
Here are the multi-word tags I used for this listing:
*Road Trip
*Photo Album
*Laser Cut
*Hunter Green
*Word Album
I would like to point out that colors can be tricky. Each color needs to have a separate tag, but colors like hunter green, navy blue or crimson red are all okay. The tag: red blue green would not be okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I said last week, think like a buyer. What terms to you think your shoppers would use together in search? Can they be used together as a multi-word tag? If they are still describing a single aspect of your item while being used together...Go For It!
