From my research, it seems like if you are in Vacation Mode for longer than 30 days, once you do return it will be like starting over. Remember those first few months where you were checking your email every second to see if you had a new order? I want to be completely transparent and show you some stats so you can see for yourself. As you can see, below is a screenshot of my stats from April — May , about five months after opening my shop up again. That is a HUGE decrease.
I was getting 6, visits during that same time period in the previous year. My traffic has also drastically changed. Below is a screenshot looking at my year totals of traffic. Not just the numbers, although going from 46, to 8, is a big change, but the sources of traffic also changed.
This year, my biggest traffic source is from social media. My first suggestion would be to determine if you truly need to go into Vacation Mode.
If you will be away too long and not in a position to package or ship your products, can you hire a temporary assistant to cover these duties? My good friend Lexy of Lexy Olivia , who has a huge following with her bookmarks, has been upfront with her customers and followers on social media in the past of when she will be away and has hired a temporary assistant to fill her orders.

However, I strongly urge you to think of your Etsy shop like a real in-person boutique shop. You would likely outsource help for the time that you had to be away. That can be both a blessing and a curse, though. You have the power, with owning an Etsy shop, to shut down for however long you want. However, you and your shop are also the only person that will take a hit from doing this. You may not have the financial means to hire a temporary assistant if and when you find yourself in a position to take a short leave of absence from the shop, but I hope this post will help you to see the possible outcome of doing so.
However, maybe your experience will be different. I hope that this post shows you a possible alternative of going into Vacation Mode so you can make an informed decision when this question arises in your business.
