Etsy coupons allow you to set:
- Fixed discount - which allows sellers to offer
a discount of a specific amount that does not vary by cart
total.
- Set a minimum purchase amount that's applied to a
coupon code - the minimum purchase amount means you can
limit the use of a coupon until a minimum purchase is met by your
buyer.
- Attach an expiration date to a coupon code -
that means you can control when a coupon deactivates.
Creative
Ways to Use Coupon Codes
Here are some additional creative ways to use Etsy Coupon Codes
in your shop:
- Organize a group sale. Get together with your Etsy Team or Etsy
friends and set up the same coupon code! Promote each other's
discount code by linking to a common tag in your item
listings.
- Include a discount code in each of your packages to encourage
repeat business.
- Reward your fans and followers by creating special codes for
each of your social networks - your Facebook fans, Twitter
followers, blog readers, and mailing list subscribers. Encourage
your network to promote and share the code. This will help you
understand where your most engaged followers are and where you
might need to pay more attention in other networks.
- Host an event or contest - for example, sharing a favorite item
or your entire shop via Facebook, Twitter, or blog post - and let
your participants know a set of lucky winners will receive an
exclusive discount code for use in your shop.
- When publishing an online ad or partnering with a blog or media
outlet on a feature, consider extending a discount code exclusively
for their readership.
- Use a coupon code to track offline events and promotions. For
example, have a code printed on the business cards you give out at
a craft fair.
- Host a shop-wide sale by placing a public discount code in your
shop announcement, banner, profile, and other public areas of your
shop during the dates of your promotion. This is a great option for
publicly recognized shopping holidays like Black Friday, Cyber
Monday, and Boxing Day when shoppers are searching for special
promotions.
- Clear out old inventory to make room for new products by
hosting a sale.
