So, I have been on Folksy for over a month and I haven’t made a single sale. In fact, no one has even looked at my shop. I confess I haven’t been pushing it as hard as I’ve got a gallery space I have been advertising instead (and making sales from).
It looks like I will be in the gallery until Christmas at least. I am paying for Folksy Premium but I want to know if I can just go back to “free” Folksy for the time being and then launch again in the new year when I can start marketing it properly?
Sorry to hear that. I think it’s something you’d need to ask Folksy Admin about - think it’s @folksyadmin.
What I would say is that although I’ve had a shop for something like 10 years, I’ve only starting promoting (clumsily) in the last few months. Prior to this my shop was shamefully neglected - yet every year I’ve had a rush of sales in Nov / early Dec and the odd one throughout the year which have covered the fees. When I first opened my shop (in a January) it was months before I got any interest so it can take a while.
Go to your dashboard, plus account, then cancel this will revert you to the normal pay per listing. You can also put your shop on holiday mode at that point.
