I don't read many books, but I do read a variety of magazines. One great thing I've noticed lately is Etsy being mentioned in almost every magazine I read! I love that Etsy is becoming a household name!
In fact, I first learned about Etsy through a scrapbook magazine several years ago. I've seen Etsy mentioned in everything from ReadyMade to AllYou to even People Magazine!
Last summer one of my albums was mentioned on Real Simple Magazine's Daily Finds and I saw quite a spike in views that day and even made some sales! Let's hope that with every mention of a specific Etsy shop in a magazine that it brings views and sales for all of us :)
Where have you seen Etsy mentioned lately? Do you notice more people familiar with Etsy than before?
Definitely, I see it in magazines all the time. And now, they don't always explain what Etsy is, which means people must already know.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do find more know or have heard about Etsy before me, though more no than yes. I didn't know or maybe remember that you were in a magazine...! How kewl, you so deserve it Edi! x0 Did you frame the magazine and article? :D
ReplyDeleteMy local news channel mentioned Etsy the other day (showing some sports earrings that related to the Stanley Cup). Well, they tried to talk about Etsy. The announcer couldn't even pronounce it.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is one of the primary mainstream craft selling sites. I've noticed that people in daily conversation have heard of it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen Etsy in several magazines too and also on TV when the shows talk about gift giving. Your albums should be featured on the Today show! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised how often I see it on HubPages now. I know that more and more Etsy sellers get featured on TV shows and in magazines as well.
ReplyDeleteAbout a year ago I had no idea Etsy existed! My sister introduced me to it and I instantly fell in love! There are still a lot of people in my area who have never heard of the site, I think it's popularity is continually growing.
ReplyDeleteI have heard etsy mentioned in the news and am frequently surprised how strangers bring it up during conversation.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not a household word, it's sure getting there quickly! Almost every magazine I pick up has a mention of it somewhere, and the internet is loaded with mentions! I think a lot of people like the handmade movement and lord knows, we've done what we could to promote it!

It's wonderful to see the name spreading!! Where I live, it still isn't a household name but I spread the word every chance I get! :)
