Treasury Theme Keywords: October

Hey team!  It's time to round up the keywords from October's "From Etsy's Merchandising Desk" article in the Storque.  These keywords can be incorporated in the designs in your shop, your tagging, and your marketing.  As treasury makers, these keywords are important to pay attention to because these are the themes Etsy will be putting on the FP.   I'm going to pull keywords from these articles every month and list them here on the blog.  If you make a treasury with one or more of these keywords, be sure to tag your treasuries with the words!

Straight from the Storque:  "Tagging Tip: The seasonal terminology "fall" is primarily American English. Make sure to include the more internationally recognized term "autumn" in your seasonally appropriate item descriptions and tags."

Treasury Theme Keywords: September

Every month, Etsy posts a "From Etsy's Merchandising Desk" article in the Storque.  Etsy sellers who are on top of their game read these posts and pull keywords to benefit their own shop.  These keywords can be incorporated in the designs in your shop, your tagging, and your marketing.  As treasury makers, these keywords are important to pay attention to because these are the themes Etsy will be putting on the FP.   I'm going to pull keywords from these articles every month and list them here on the blog.  If I miss any, feel free to add them in the comments of these posts.  Jen (Polestar) addressed doing this in her brilliant forum post, "How to get into Thousands of Treasuries".
