What do you think of the Etsy+Facebook Ads combo to test a product?

[adnans]

Before you going through the work of building a store around an item, what do you think of opening a shop on Etsy with the item, run facebook ads of it and evaluate the analytics? Could a fairly accurate indication about the value of the item be obtained in this way?

Dear adnans,

Why would you like to test an item with etsy, run the ads directly to your sales page and see what happens.

etsy has some visibility since you will drive traffic from fb ads drive to something that you own and control, without paying commission to someone else.
