Marketing Emails: These are promotional and aim to inform customers about new products, sales, or other marketing-related details. Etsy's guidelines state that these emails can only be sent to customers who have provided explicit consent.
Best Practices to Communicate on Etsy:
According to Etsy's Seller Handbook article titled "Dos and Don'ts of Communicating With Customers," communication is pivotal to running a successful online shop. While sellers have their unique communication style, there are some universal best practices to adhere to.
Do Communicate:
- For Address Clarifications: If there's a discrepancy between a buyer's Etsy and PayPal addresses, clarify their preferred delivery address to prevent complications.
- For Custom Items: Provide a realistic timeline for custom orders. Regularly update your buyer on progress and notify them promptly if there are unforeseen delays.
- Feedback: Encourage feedback post-purchase. After receiving feedback, express gratitude. Ensure these interactions are devoid of promotional content.
Don't Communicate:
- In Anger: Never communicate when you're upset. It's vital to maintain a calm demeanor to foster constructive conversation.
- Too Much: Over-communication can irritate your customers. Strive for a balance in your interactions.
