How do you usually find products on Etsy?
Option B won this Ranked poll with a final tally of 92 votes after 1 round of vote counting.
In a Ranked poll, respondents rank every option in order of preference. For example, when you test 6 options, each respondent orders their choices from first to sixth place.
PickFu requires a majority to win a Ranked poll. A majority winner differs from a plurality winner. A majority winner earns over 50% of the votes, whereas a plurality winner earns the most votes, regardless of winning percentage.
If an option does not earn a majority of votes, PickFu eliminates the option with the lowest number of votes. The votes from the eliminated option are reassigned based on each respondent’s next choice. This process continues in rounds until a majority winner emerges.
Scores reflect the percentage of total votes an option receives during the vote counting and indicate the relative preference of the respondents. If there is no majority winner, look to the scores to see how the options fared relative to one another.

8 Responses to Option A
I ranked how I usually find a product on Etsy. I typically just brose the site followed searching for the specific product. Option C is other and I can't think of anything.
I generally look around until I see something I like.
I tend to browse most often and look at things that catch my eye, other times I have a particular thing in mind and browse until i find what i am looking for that i like the best.
I usually just browse to see what pops up that is interesting
I chose my answers in their order of importance. For Option C, sometimes I know of a product by word of mouth.
i want to read more about this, i ranked like about more information
Option A is the best description because it simple and easy to understand and share with others.
For me, I just tend to be more of a browser as I love scrolling and then discovering. It is easier for me that way and I find that it helps inspire me more especially on a site like Etsy where there are so many different and unique items.

i usually search etsy like in option B, looking for a specific item for myself or others
I usually just do a search, so option B comes in first. I do browse once in a while, so option A comes next. I can't think of any other way for option C, sorry.
It's a mix of choices 1 and 2 but mostly 2. Usually, there are so many variations that people make for certain products, I like seeing all the available items.
I usually go to etsy looking for a certain item or a certain category of item, like "earrings" or "phone case". Often times after I have searched, I will then later browse similar items that pop up that catch my eye, even if they were not in the original category I was lookin for
I usually go into it with an idea of what I want, then buy that product.
Between the three different options, I decided to go with option b first. Whenever I shop on websites in general, I typically have a particular product in mind that I am very interested in purchasing. Because of that, I searched with a specific product in mind most of the time. Second, I decided to go with option a as my next choice. There are times when I just enjoy the idea of browsing on a website and while I might type something in, I also anticipate where it will take me and I always keep my eyes open for deals or new products that I may be interested in. My final choice was option c. After I have exhausted both of the previous choices, I may go with the recommendation of a friend or a family member and this might be my goal when shopping. I typically will be honest and do not take advice from other people in regards to things that I would like in my home as sometimes people are very wrong, but I always like to listen and at least like to check out new products.
My first option is B because I search with a specific product or category in mind most of the time.Second is other in option C because I may want to compare pricesOption A is Third whereas browsing for something to catch my eye is very seldom because I usually have something in mind when I go to Etsy.
I only use Etsy when I am searching for a particular item or item type, Option B.

I put what I am looking for into the search engine, and I then go through all of the things that come up until I find what I'm looking for at the right price.
I am not a shopper so I don't go just to see something I like. If I did that, I would be buying all kinds of stuff since I like almost anything someone makes. Also, I'm not sure how there is a third option.
I would go with option B because I usually browse with a product in mind. Option A and C do not really resonate as much with me.

When I go to one of these marketplace sites like Etsy or Ebay, I almost always go with a set mission in mind.

So, Choice B is how I operate.

I go when I have a specific gift in mind. I narrow down the search engine and go from there.
Etsy has so many different products that its easy to end up forgetting what you originally are shopping for unless you stay focused and on task. Searching without a product in mind tends to cause overspending and spontaneous buying.
I really usually just go there with an idea in mind. However, I have a lot of people in my favorites, and I quite often find and buy things there. Also, the recommendations at the bottom of the page when you are looking at an item. I love Etsy. I plan to reopen my store there.
