How do I tag greeting cards on Etsy?
Lead with the occasion ("birthday card", "anniversary card") and add the recipient ("card for him") plus an angle like "funny". Buyers search the exact moment.
Should I tag card sets?
Yes. "Card set" and themed bundles have their own demand and a higher order value than single cards.
