February Merchandising Themes

Hello lovely teammates!!

In an effort to make our Treasury-Making more successful, I have gleaned the important points from Etsy's February Merchandising Themes. You can see the list below. Remember to tag your treasuries with the appropriate themes from below. This will give you an even better chance of Etsy Admin seeing your treasury!!

These should also help you restock your shop with items that are in line with February's trends. Thanks for all you do, and happy creating!!
