When do graduation cards sell?+
A concentrated season in late spring and early summer, with a smaller winter peak for mid-year graduations. Listing in early spring gives Etsy time to start showing it.
Should I put the year on a graduation card?+
Only as a separate version. A year-dated card is unsellable the following season, so keep an undated design as your main listing and treat the dated one as a seasonal extra.
Do buyers want a money or gift-card holder?+
It is the strongest add-on in this category, because graduation gifts are frequently cash. A card with a pocket sells better than a card alone.
What wording works across situations?+
Congratulations and well done travel everywhere; references to a specific degree, school system or ceremony do not. Keep the cover broad and let the buyer write the specifics.
Can I sell a graduation card made with AI on Etsy?+
Yes, with disclosure. Etsy allows AI-assisted designs under its Creativity Standards as long as you are clear about how it was made.
