This May 1 to 14 you can take part in Canada’s first ever free shipping sales event and boost your visibility! During the event, Etsy will highlight a selection of products that ship for free to Canadian buyers on the Etsy.com homepage, in curated Editor’s Picks pages, and emails to shoppers. Bonus: Listings with free domestic shipping will also receive a boost in Etsy search, making it even easier for shoppers in Canada to find your items during the event. Head here to learn more about the sale, how to be a part of it, and ask questions to our a panel of seller experts! This is a unique opportunity to help shoppers in Canada discover your items. Create your sale by April 20 and your shop may also be featured on Editor’s Picks pages and in Etsy marketing emails sent to shoppers in Canada.

Schedule your sale

In an August 2017 survey, more than half of Etsy shoppers told us free shipping is a top factor in their decision to make a purchase. Now’s the time to try a free shipping sale to see how it works for you. This promotion is designed to be flexible to suit a wide variety of sellers from all over Canada. Customize your sale with Etsy’s tools: Offer free domestic shipping to build your local fan base—during the sales event we’ll be highlighting items that ship for free to Canadian shoppers. Set an order minimum to encourage shoppers to spend more—for example, free shipping when you buy more than two items. Limit your free shipping sale to specific listings. Try a promotion on lightweight items or a certain product category to bring buyers into your shop.
