Tweeted :)

I was visiting our shop today and saw the new grab bags! they look great! The mystery grab bag had 8 views. I hardly ever use twitter but decided to tweet about it. It shot up to 26 views in only 5 minutes. Sadly, no one purchased, but I thought perhaps if everyone who uses Twitter would remember to tweet about the shop every once in awhile it would help.

November Grab Bag Sign Ups

indigoorchid — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:28:07 GMT

This thread will be reserved for sign ups for Grab Bag donations. With Christmas shopping season upon us, it would be a great opportunity to market these grab bags as "stocking stuffers" etc. The more variety, the better! If you would like to donate, here are the basics: NO BUSINESS CARDS OR COUPONS ONLY. You can DEFINITELY add those items to your donated item, but we would prefer tangible goods. If you choose to donate the RETAIL value of the item must range from $3.00 ...

Slooooow Sales???

MichellesCharmWorld — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:53:10 GMT

It's been 2 days since my last sale. I am so confused about this stretch that I have been going on. I will do pretty okay one day and then go 2 or 3 days. I am beginning to wonder what is going on? I'm wondering if my shop needs to be revamped again? New backrounds? List new items? Is anyone else used to regular sales slowing down too? Is this the calm before the storm of Holiday Season Shopping? OOORRRR is this telling me that this could be my WORST Holiday Season ever?! I ...

TEAM SHOP TASKS

MichellesCharmWorld — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:45:16 GMT

I know we have people doing certain things on the shop, I just wanted to be sure that I knew who was doing them, so I could give them a big thank you haha!! Who is changing up the Featured Items? Also if we could have a couple people that would routinely log into the shop to check if we have any conversations? That would be great!! I try to do it every day, but sometimes I forget! So I figure if I have a couple other people on here doing it with me, between the 3 of us, it will ...

Twitter....

MichellesCharmWorld — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:24:27 GMT

Sooo...how many tweets do you send out a day? I try to stick with 3-5. I find when people are tweeting 3 or 4 times in an hour it gets annoying (personal opinion). To me they are using it like an instant messanger type of thing and I usually un-friend them. I try to stay at 2 item links per day (Usually one in the am and one in the pm) and the rest are just musings or babble!

How do you use social networking to your advantage?

indigoorchid — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 03:40:14 GMT

I though I would post a place for everyone to post tips and ideas on how to promote specifically via the Social Networking sites. Some of us are new to Etsy and the idea of promoting online so I thought this might be of some use!

This is a great place to share what worked for you, what didn't work for you, or any ideas that you have! Please share! The more we know, the more successful we will be as individuals and as a team!

Team Shop Grab Bags Questions

MichellesCharmWorld — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:08:47 GMT

Alright! We have discussed the idea of Team Shop Grab Bags. Basically this is a way to test the waters of selling in a team environment with something smaller. NO BUSINESS CARDS OR COUPONS ONLY. You can DEFINATELY add those items to your donated item, but we would prefer tangible goods. If you choose to donate the value of the item must range from 3.00 to 5.00. If you are choosing to donate, we will need at least 5 items. These items will all be shipped to the person coordinating the ...
