Growing your Etsy email list is one of the most effective marketing techniques. It can be quite difficult trying to figure how to collect emails on Etsy because as a seller you’re not supposed to solicit someones email.
Others give up the idea of even attempting to collect emails because they assumed it can only be done if they have a blog.
However, their are ways around the obvious of asking for an email directly. I will be going over a strategy that many of the top prominent Etsy Shops are currently doing but know one really talks about.
Also, keep in mind that you don’t need a blog to get started!
I have found that offering an incentive is a great way to grow my mailing list. I offer a 10% off their purchase for an exchange of their email. This has been an effective method if increasing my subscribes list rapidly.
I have added an extra image to all my listings with a call to action asking the customer to sign up for my email to receive 10% off on their purchase.
The image directs the customer to click on the listing description to sign up for my newsletter. I place the link to sign up for my newsletter in the listing description and make sure it stands out by adding get your 10% of discount here! The customer signs-up and a new window pops open to claim their discount within seconds.

Hello,
That’s a great question. They would be able to use it over and over. My suggestion would be to change the code 1-2 per month.
Hi Nancy,
This was amazing thank you. I was using another email system but it was very complicated so I never added it to my listings. My question: Is this a one time use discount code or will customers be able to use it over and over again on Etsy?

I tried to claim the Call to Action image through signing to your e-mail list, however, It doesn’t seem to give me the option to claim/get/download it.

Has Etsy chenged their policy on links? I added the link to my e-mail sign up and its not live meaning the person would have to copy and paste the link in their browser. Super lame.
Hi Jennifer.
That’s a great question! Etsy has always had it that you can’t add hyper links. They only allow links to your listings but nothing else. They want to keep the traffic on Etsy.
Hi, really good article and appreciating work. Thanks For Sharing. Keep up the Good Work and keep writing the wonderful article like this.
