Hiya, upstairs neighbors! Looks like Canada’s Etsy shoppers aren’t in the Christmas spirit yet. Nor, by the way, are Australians. Down Under, “christmas” ranks #121 in their current Top 1000. And yours ranks #462! Conversely, both the US and UK have “christmas” in their Top 20s already, which is their norm.

But it does look like some have already started their holiday shopping – and buying!

Year on Year, searches for “personalised gift” are up 77%. And when calculated for the month, its August click-through rate is 135%: sky high! So we know a whole lot of your shoppers are purchasing.

Tip! Click-through rates and purchase intent

For those of you new to selling online, this will be a highly useful tip.

On ecommerce sites, click-through rates (CTRs) reflect how many times shoppers clicked individual listings in their search results. This behavior is associated with people searching with the intention to buy, as opposed to those just browsing. Therefore, CTRs are an indicator of purchase intent.

You’ll want to keep up with Etsy Canada’s highest trending searches, certainly. Because who knows when something random like “budget spreadsheet” might shoot to the top – and turn out to be a unicorn! (More about those in a bit.)

But for insight into what’s selling best on Etsy now, look to their click-through rates. It’s why we end our trend reports with a Monthly CTR Roundup. You’ll learn which of Canada’s top Etsy keywords have had the highest CTRs most recently. Like this one.

#1 “stickers” – August CTR: 150%

“Stickers” is back in your Top 20, and then some! It has not only snatched the top spot, it’s also got a current CTR of 150%. That is as high as these go. Oh, and it also has eRank’s gold badge showing it’s among your highest trending Etsy searches this week. Go “stickers”!

Canada’s top Etsy searches climbing highest fastest

Climbers is our term for current Top 20 keywords that weren’t in your last Top 20. And any that couldn’t even crack the Top 1000 a month ago, we call screamers. (For screaming to the top, often out of seemingly nowhere.)

This month, you’ve got 13 climbers, two of them screamers. We’ve put them in order by current rank, their former rank last. This way, you see at a glance which climbed highest fastest.

Ranked 1^st: “stickers,” up from #72

3^rd: “ring,” up from #98

5^th: “earrings,” up from #32

7^th: “3d printed,” up from #99

9^th: “personalised gift,” up from #182

11^th: “lamp,” up from #103

12^th: “posters,” screamer (didn’t make July’s Top 1000 at all)

14^th: “budget spreadsheet,” up from #591

15^th: “painting,” screamer

16^th: “rugs,” up from #53

18^th: “crochet,” up from #39

19^th: “tshirt,” up from #52

20^th: “mug,” up from #284

Obviously, the two here that climbed highest fastest are the screamers “posters” and “painting.” Now, “posters” isn’t actually much of a phenom; “poster” singular ranked #31 in July. However, “painting” is another story; its plural ranked down at #298. So let’s have a look.

#15 “painting,” screamer

Wow, “painting” did take a tumble there! It got only 50 searches in June. That was abrupt; its previous lows didn’t dip below 1,000/mo. Then in July, it picked up another 500; still shockingly low though. On the other hand, “paintings” plural did the same last summer: plummeted to 50 in July and August. Something to keep in mind if you sell paintings: summers could be scary slow.

The only other Top 20 keyword that did substantial climbing is “budget spreadsheet.” But given its current CTR, let’s look at that one in the Roundup, shall we? Because it’s selling like hotcakes – and it’s a unicorn!

Roundup! Canada’s top Etsy keywords with 135%+ CTRs now

Here for ideas of what to sell on Etsy? Or to find out what’s selling best on Etsy Canada now? Then this is for you! It’s your insider access to which of this month’s 200 highest trending Etsy searches show the most purchase intent.

Analyzing monthly CTRs is how we spot opportunities for you. The items we get most excited about are in the Top 200 and have:

• 125%+ CTRs for the current month
• 100%+ Average CTRs
• 1,000+/mo searches in 5+ of the past 15 months
• Low competition (green in Keyword Tool)

We call these unicorns because everyone on Etsy claims they don’t exist. And yet in every Roundup, we do manage to find a few. Now, these calculations are drawn exclusively from your most recent full month of data. So, regardless of their 12-mo CTRs, these products are what’s selling best on Etsy Canada now.

Ranking #1-50

Note: For better readability, we will only shout out a few individual CTRs. So, as we go, just keep in mind that our 135% threshold indicates exceptional purchase intent. Which means any qualifying keywords you see here will be worth researching.

For the third month in a row, you have a bumper crop of qualifiers in your Top 20. Average used to be two or three; you have nine this month! There’s stickers with its 150% for the month, followed by 3d printed, personalised gift, keychain, posters, art, and budget spreadsheet.

#14 “budget spreadsheet” – August CTR: 150%

A picture-perfect unicorn! It exceeds the thresholds of every metric. Congrats!

And now, on with the Roundup. You have two more qualifiers in the Top 20: painting and mug. Then at #22 is 3d, followed by a pair: #33-34 sterling silver ring and rug. Skip two and there’s another pair: phone case and sewing patterns.

And the Top 50 goes out with a bang: from #40-49, all are high flyers! The first five: scott pilgrim, spiderman, stained glass, template, and uno card box. The rest: wedding welcome sign, kingdom hearts, lamps, airless basketball, and ai. Oh, and “lamps” is a unicorn; at least, sort of. Here is “lamps.”

#47 “lamps” – August CTR: 148%

“Lamps” has an exceptional current CTR. However, two of its other metrics don’t quite meet unicorn standards. But wait: what about “lamp” singular? That one made this month’s Top 20.

#11 “lamp” – August CTR: 104%

And there, now, see? Everything that “lamps” was lacking – but not its 148% monthly CTR. So: unicorn or no? We data geeks are leaning toward yes, since “lamp” and “lamps” are the same item, right? And we do see opportunity here. Because if you’re here to find out what’s selling best on Etsy Canada, clearly, lamps are. And between the singular and plural, they richly exceed every unicorn criterion.

Ranked from #51-100

Straight out of the gate, a trio of CTR high flyers: #51-53 christmas ornaments, dice, and dnd dice. Another at #57: punk stickers, followed by #61 shoes, and #70 notion templates. Unicorn alert!

#70 “notion templates” – August CTR: 147%

A newly-minted unicorn for your flock: August makes its fifth month with 1,000+ searches/mo. That’s an exceptional average CTR too; 128% is well above average. And a paltry 720 Canadian Etsy listings use this keyword. Competition doesn’t get much lower than this.

Next up on the Roundup is #74 best sellers 3d printing. Seems odd for a shopper search, right? More like a search an Etsy seller doing market research would use. But it’s got a sky-high CTR: 147%. So, whoever they are, they are buying.

After that one though, we need to jump down 20 for the next, but it’s a quintet. From #94-98: travel map, square, wall art framed, mens bracelet, and paintings. Note that “paintings” has garnered a 149% CTR for the month.

Next, ranked #101-150

Another strong start here: fourteen qualifiers straight! The first seven, from #104: pegabo, pen, pokemoncard [yep, one word] rug tufted, pokemon chalk bag, modern hanbok, metis, and minecraft cape. The rest: rakhi, postcard, repetto, mushroom, 50 count bead tray, akira, and blu ray case. Skip just one and there are a dozen more! From #119-130: anarkali, bally, 3d print, bts jersey, boob cactus, chacok, cacharel, deo, como, chiikawa, engraved, and flute.

And jeepers, skip just one again and this time it’s a baker’s dozen, all with 146%+ CTRs. The first seven: universal sim racing drive, labubu, glass wall art, girbaud, interior design, jdm car artwork, and jdm car art prints digital. Then from #139 on: jaggear, chaos dwarf, charcuterie board walnut, aloe dichotoma seeds, watch, and transformers. Speaking of “watch,” it was one of your screamers in July; it ranked 20th. Have a look at it now.

#143 “watch” – August CTR: 147%

Did you spot it? “Watch” is a unicorn! We didn’t call it last month because its monthly CTR was 118%. Well above average, but not unicorn-worthy. Then all those searches (4,550) in July led to lots of purchases this month! Which is exactly as it is supposed to go; we love to see it.

Resuming our Roundup, just two more qualifiers left for this set. The first is #147 ita bag (we featured that one in your June trend report. It is one of your unicorns.) And at #149 there’s chlorite quartz.

Finally, from #151-200

Here we begin with #152 crystals, followed by #154 3d printed art. Next up, a trio: #162-164 pokemon card tufted rug, funnel tray, and fountainpen [one word], followed by #167 sea glass. Skip two and there’s cacao seeds. Then skip two again for another trio: #173-175 matcha made in heaven digital, matcha made in heaven, and macbook keyboard stickers.

Next, there’s a pair at #179-180: lagotto romagnolo and korilakkuma twitch. Skip one and there’s polo shirts pack of 5; skip one again for a pair: paris and naruto phone case. At #189 is pandora charms, then #191 catan board. Skip one and there’s a pair: calabrian chili pepper seeds and arquivo 3mf 3d disney. The last is fitness planner.

#200 “fitness planner” – August CTR: 146%

“Fitness planner” might be worth watching. Year on Year, it’s up a whopping 2,500% now. And if it soars in December and January as it did last year, you’ll have a new unicorn!

And with that, it’s a wrap for this month, friends. We really hope some of these leads will prove to be profitable for you.
