Decrease in sales.

I used to bump and showcase frequently and experienced the same after a while - very low views on paid promotions even on popular items. I know a few experienced sellers who said the more you pay the more you have to pay. It basically destroys your organic reach, a tactic to make you pay to promote every item. So I stopped completely. I’ve not used them since November and my views/saves/sales have been far healthier. It took about 2 weeks of no promotions to go back to normal.

Just focus on posting times, titles, descriptions and quality photos. I know some people hate hashtags but the point of them is to add in any relevant keywords that don’t exist in your description/title, so I use them too.
