ALCHEMY IS BACK on ETSY

Alchemy is a place for buyers to list items they want, and sellers bid on making it for them. If an offer suits the buyer's want, they accept the seller's bid and have a custom item made for them.

This gives you an opportunity to work closely with Etsy Sellers to get exactly what you want.

WE ARE NO LONGER NETWORKING ON FACEBOOK AS A GROUP

I told you that last month we started a group called Interior Design Team and we were doing all the networking trhough FaceBook. We loved it, because it was so easy to communicate. That was until I got an email from Pam Rice, telling me about their unfavorable Terms of Services.

I looked into it and was very surprised to find out what is actually said. I am not going to go into all the details here. Suffice to say that their Terms of Service are unacceptable for any Etsy seller, or any artist or craft maker.

If you would like to read more about this subject there is a great post called SOCIAL NETWORK COPYRIGHT INFORMATION on COMPLETE FRAGMENTS BLOG.

It is too bad, but since we move on and are currently networking in our private forum on NING.com.
We do not have to worry about those issues with them since their Terms of Service are far more friendly to us.

If any of you is any Etsy seller and qualifies for our group, please email me. We would love to have you.

UPCOMING EASTER BUNNY HOP SALE

I am excited to announce that we will be hosting an Easter Sale event. It will be a wonderful opportunity to get to know other stores from Interior Design Etsy Team. The event will run from Mar. 15th-Apr. 6th, so mark your calendars right now.

FACEBOOK and ONLINE MARKETING

Here is what I learned about online marketing on FACEBOOK so far...

You can:

1. Invite your customers to be your friends on FaceBook. You will get to know them better and they will be more loyal to you in return.

2.You can also create a separate page for your business. (Click on "Businesses" at the bottom of the page).

3. You can advertise on FaceBook.

4. If you have a blog, there is an application that you can use to put updates from your blog onto your profile page so all your friends can see it.

5. As an Etsy Seller you can use an application to showcase your Etsy Store on your FaceBook profile.

6. You can network with others using groups.

I will add to this list as I go along.
