Three weeks of an abnormally hot USA has attacked fire pit sales. Happened in August last year. All normal. Blue bar graph is # of orders. Red line is visits. Both slowing down. September is #1 sales month, calm before storm hopefully. When the red line starts upward, sales roll in afterward, like clock work. Indicator per excellence. Still using Marmalead for title and key words. Wife went with Marmalead 2 months ago, had record sales in July. But a bad June. Not sure why June was so bad. Her August starting out like gangbusters. Taking flack from her. Incessant bragging. Betcha I will punish her when September rolls in. What comes around... Made a standard title based on Marmalead search terms. From #1 to #7/8 Marmalead search word ratings. Never changed them, leaving them in place. Title, 8 top Marmalead search terms separated by ticks. Etsy uses a very basic internal search engine, looks at title words, keywords and listing renewal.: 'Fire Pit' 42 inch 'firepit' Medium Depth Pedestal Base 'metal fire pit' 'fire pits' 'fire pit bowl' 'fire bowl' 'custom fire pit' 'hand made fire pit' A week or two ago US temps were about 10F hotter across country. Montana at 100F ! NY NY at 96F. Washington and Oregon at 100F+ today. Wow. Got orders in from a cool Nebraska and Kansas this week. 3 weeks ago Washington and Oregon were having cool weather, got several orders from them then. Bellevue Washington, the most dysfunctional clients in the USA. Complaining bunch. Please do not order from me Bellevue. Bad water ??
