I recently hit 30 sales 🎉 but I’m wondering if I made my Etsy thumbnails too aesthetic?

I recently hit 30 sales in my Etsy shop, which honestly made me really happy — especially since I’m still learning and figuring out what works.

But now I think I may have made a mistake with some of my listing images.

I sell mostly Notion templates, and lately I’ve been redesigning some of my first listing images to look cleaner, more minimal and more “premium/editorial.”

The older thumbnails were much more product-focused: bigger headlines, more visible features, icons, stronger contrast, and a clearer view of what the template actually does.

The newer ones look prettier to me, but I’ve started wondering if they’re too aesthetic and not clear enough when seen as a small Etsy search thumbnail.

What’s interesting is that some of my listings that still use the older, more commercial/feature-focused style continue to get occasional sales.

So I’d really love some outside opinions:

If you were shopping for a Notion template, which style would you be more likely to click on — the cleaner/minimal style or the more detailed/product-focused style?

And when you look at my shop as a whole, are there any first images that immediately feel unclear, too empty, too busy, or simply not clickable?

Shop link for context:

I’m genuinely happy with reaching 30 sales, so this isn’t a “why am I getting no sales?” post. 😄 I’m mainly trying to understand what I should improve before I redesign the rest of my shop.

Please don’t worry about being nice — constructive criticism is exactly what I’m looking for, especially about the thumbnails/first listing images.

How can I make more sales on Etsy

Hi everyone!

I’ve had an Etsy shop for two months now. I sell digital products—specifically, Notion templates. I’ve made 10 sales in total, but traffic is quite low; I’m actually surprised at how the people who bought from me managed to find my shop in the first place. What do you think I should do to increase sales and traffic? What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to change?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Etsy'de fiziksel ürün satmak

Bu dönemde Etsyde dijital ürün satan var mı? Türkiye'den gönderim süreçlerini biliyor musunuz? Çok mu pahalı? Gönderim süresi ne kadar?
