Seasonal planning for Etsy sellers
Etsy Seasonal Selling Planner
Know what to create, list and promote before the season starts. Choose your target market and product type. The planner calculates the timing and recommends which product categories fit each seasonal opportunity.
What each phase means:
🎨 Create — Design and prepare your products: create the artwork, finish files and variants, define sizes, and decide what you will sell.
🛍️ List — Prepare and publish your products: make mockups/photos, title, description, tags and price, then publish the listings so shoppers can find and buy them.
📣 Promote — Bring shoppers to your live products: use Pinterest/social media, relevant promotions, review SEO, test covers and improve listings.
🔥 Strong season — Demand should be active; ideally your collection is already live, so focus on visibility, conversion and sales.

Seasonal production planogram
See Create, List and Promote windows together on one detailed timeline. The vertical TODAY line shows exactly where you are in the plan.
Planning windows may overlap intentionally. This planogram uses the same dates as the recommendation cards; it does not recalculate or replace their logic.
Seasonal planning guide
Why should seasonal products be created before the holiday?
Learn how Create → List → Promote works, why the phases overlap, how timing changes for digital, POD and physical products, and what to do when you arrive late to a seasonal opportunity.
Read the seasonal planning guide →How the dates work: the engine stores relative planning rules internally (for example, “start 8 weeks before”). The interface always converts those rules into concrete dates so the seller never has to count backwards manually. Seasonal demand anchors and planning windows are editorial planning markers, while official holiday dates are treated separately.
