Get Personalized Recommendations with Suggested Shops

Sean_thumbNow when you sign in to Etsy and check out your Favorites, you'll see a new tab called Suggested Shops. These suggestions are personalized recommendations based on your Favorites and the Favorites of Etsy members with similar taste. Suggestions are updated daily - you'll see them change as you add more items and shops to your Favorites. Shops that have been added to your Favorites will not be suggested again.

The suggestions are generated with the help of an algorithm developed by Stefan Karpinski (stefankarpinski). Stefan, along with Jason Davis (jasondavis), Greg Fodor (gfodor), Matt Walker (mattwalker) and Isaac Oates (ioates), joined us in December when their company Adtuitive became a part of Etsy.

Home Page Renovation

As you might have noticed, we updated the look of our home page late last week.  As mentioned in the March/April roadmap, this is part of an ongoing project to widen the site.

The new home page comes on the heels of the release of Treasury East, a new tool for curating. Treasury East remains in beta, but it will soon replace the existing Treasury and Treasury West.

Under the hood, we've made changes to the site architecture to prepare for international versions down the road. Eventually, the site will be available in multiple currencies and in other languages. We'll have more to say on that front later this year.
