etsy savoir faire :: craft cult
hello! well, i just want to say- thank you to everyone for all of your support! i’m so excited- this has all been totally a dream come true!
for now, i’m taking a (small) break from etsy- to do what? talk about etsy! today we’re going to discuss craft cult- have you been there? other than being totally addictive- it’s an *incredible tool for both shop owners and buyers. the heartomatic tool is great for shop owners and the vault is a great tool for buyers- however, both can be invaluable to everyone!
the heartomatic feature allows anyone to put in their own (or anyone else’s) shop name and see all relevant info at a glance. shop hearts, item hearts, time of day, sales, items, feedback- you name it, it’s there! for shop owners, this is a great tool to see who’s hearting what and when. then all you have to figure out is why!
did you find a peculiar spike in views on a particular item? all you have to do is head over to the ‘featured’ tab to see if you or any of your items were featured that day- on the homepage, in the gift guides, or in etsy’s blog the storque. so simple!
ok- moving on to the vault! what an awesome feature- it’s s an archive of all the home page featured lists. talk about eye candy! not to mention food for the obsession- as well as endless inspiration!
finally, you can even draw up some graphs called heart charts to see all the activity going on in your shop- with a click of a button you can see who’s hearting- whether they’re buyers or sellers, female or male, and a whole slew of other useful information.
so shop owners: get to craft-culting and find out some great info that will help you know your buyers. and, buyers: go check it out and get to window shopping!

I’ve used Craft Cult a few times & it has so much great info!
Can’t believe I don’t know about this! Thanks so much for sharing. I think I’ll be having some fun with this this afternoon!
Ditto what Melanie said- shocked I don’t already know about this site! It’s amazing. Thanks so much for posting this!
I’m so glad I found your blog! I just started on Etsy a few months ago and I’m trying to find all sorts of ins and outs and you seem to have them all here! Thanks for sharing this info.
Ohhh what an amzing site. I have been away from etsy for a while but planning a come back for this winter. I am going to be using craft cult this time around. :)
I check craftcult several times a day, haha, but wow! Look at all those hearts! I guess being the featured seller helps a bit huh. :P
I use Craft cult almost daily – it’s a big part of taking my shop’s temperature and seeing where and what parts of my business need my attention each day!
I had no idea this existed – yay, thanks for the tip!!
it’s me again…just checked it out…so super easy to use, awesome tool!
