01 — The challenge
The client had a brand-new Etsy account, no design background, and a crowded niche. Generic planners were dead on arrival — the shop needed sub-niches with proven demand and weak competition.
02 — Our strategy
Our Scout agent mapped 200+ planner sub-niches by search volume and listing quality. We picked three wedges: ADHD daily planners, teacher lesson planners, and budget-by-paycheck workbooks — high search, poorly served by existing sellers.
03 — Execution
- Built 40 hyper-targeted digital products in 90 days (10+ per sub-niche)
- Full SEO rewrite: titles, 13 tags and descriptions engineered per listing
- Listing image stacks redesigned — mockups that show the product in use
- Etsy Ads only on proven converters after organic data came in
