Eyes On Your Shop?

Everyone has their own idea of what helps to get a shop seen all year 'round, and this helpful Pimp Your Shop Storque article wraps up some of the best approaches out there - both on and off Etsy.

What are you doing to pimp your shop now, and for the year ahead? Do you set a promotion budget (money AND time)? What strategies have proven most effective? And really, does spamming the chat rooms with promos ever actually work?

And the next Etsy Chat Team promotion is....

Halloween/Fall Challenge!!!

As you can see by the vote, it was a close poll....the results are as follows:

The original idea of the Halloween/Fall Challenge goes like this....."Team member shops come up with a really great item to list in their shop that is Halloween/Fall themed....let's say by October 1st. From there we post a list of the items, with a description, photo and link to the item/shop, and have a vote on our blog where readers can choose their favorite. Good way to motivate shops to be creative, and gets some exposure for the Team and each shop."

As an addition to this, we could also run a Team Wide Halloween Sale once we get the items from the challenge posted in our shops and on the team blog.

So...now that we have our promotion chosen, lets discuss it! I've created a new Forum Topic at our Ning page to discuss this and/or you can post here!

Happy Chatting,

Misty

Chat-a-thon / Sell-a-thon

Etsy Chatters Team member 2kute's idea for a Team sidewalk sale has inspired the notion of a weekend-long Sell-a-thon, and Chat-a-thon to go with it. Please plan to attend the Chatters Team meeting Friday June 5 at 8 pm Eastern time to learn more, or contact Jupita.
