Does anybody know what happened to the small businesses that used to use Etsy? Did another service open up for them? I suppose they may have gone to Shopify, but that fragmentation of storefronts reduces discoverability. The ability to search a vast set of niche widgets was probably Etsy's best selling point.
Every small business having its own storefront, and may or may not be doing SEO properly, is likely to mean less aggregate sales for all those businesses.
- mreome 7y agoSounds like an opportunity for some of the larger sellers to band together to create larger combined storefronts. Or for someone to open something like a selective/curated version of Etsy for larger sellers and small business.
