There are opportunities for FREE advertising and promotion all around us. Just keep up with a few forums and you will always see calls for product and seller features. Keep your eyes open!
One such project that GalleriaLinda has participated in for three years is the Diary Project, organized and implemented by Fantazya, a long-time Etsy seller of handmade. The Diary 2010 Project is gaining steam, as we get to the final deadline for artwork.
The diary is a calendar book, spiral bound, that has all dated pages created and designed by handmade artists! The artists work their shop information into the designs and get year-round exposure for FREE. What a great concept this is!
And, it has been successful for years. Once all of the artwork is sent in, Fantazya coordinates the printing and cover options. Pictured above is my 2009 diary with GalleriaLinda pages. I ordered a plain cover so I could embellish it myself. These make GREAT gifts too.

wow that's neat my etsy shop's not nearly ready for anything like that, but I'll get it ready for next year. I'd really like to focus my shop so it has a specialty, but right now I'm experimenting with various items and media just to try to find a nitch. ;) thanks for the helpful information.
ReplyDeleteRachel - your designed page can be simple! I encourage you to do one with your shop URL. If not, next year's will be perfect for you.
