Etsy is running two new TV commercials and published a new guide for sellers to help them during the pandemic.
The TV spots are part of Etsy’s newest ad campaign, “Always Open.” A spokesperson said it tells the story of how Etsy brings joy to the every day through the lens of its seller community.
“These spots come as a quick follow to our recently launched, Stand with Small campaign, which reminds buyers that when you shop on Etsy you’re supporting a small business at a time when they need it most,” she said.
Etsy Chief Marketing Officer Ryan Scott said the company wanted to highlight the heart and soul of our company, its sellers, “who are still making one-of-a-kind items, right from their homes – items that will bring joy to people, when it matters most.”
The ads feature 14 Etsy sellers from around the world and highlight the craftsmanship of the Etsy community and their passion for making one-of-a-kind products.
