TEAM SHOP MONEY

Alright Ladies! The Team Shop has about 15 + dollars in it and it's time to start thinking what we would like to do with that money. Where we would like to head?

Let's brain storm!

Keep saving for an ad somewhere?

Do we have any idea where?

Blogs? Facebook? etc...etcc....

It becomes harder to find a centralized place as we are literally an eclectic bunch! hahah!!

So true. Maybe a facebook ad? You can set parameters and a maximum spending amount. We could have a specific blog post that it goes to with sales/deals or something like that. Don't know, just throwing out a random idea

Hmmm, maybe a facebook ad for our Valentine's day trunk show? I could set it up if that's what people want.

I agree with facebook rather than blog ads. Unless it's a really really well followed blog. Another thought is Craftcult? I've no idea how much it is, but I hear of people having good luck there.

Jeni of PnkGeeni did a CraftCult ad! We should get her input!

I love the idea of getting an ad for the trunk show! When would we run it? Should it link to the team shop or the team blog or the team facebook fanpage?

When I ran a FB ad, I wish I had linked it to the Fan Page, because then they can just become a fan without having to buy something then and there and forget about it.

Here is the info for the craft cult advertising

looks like we could get 7 days on the side bar for $15.

Another place etsy people visit a lot is http://www.craftopolis.com/

Here's the ad info: http://www.craftopolis.com/index.php?com=ad

I use both of those hahaha!!!!

Craftcult a bit more.


With both of those, we are only targeting other Sellers though.

Alright, when should we run the ad and how should we run it and where? Time to start thinking of the Show on February 1st!!!

Should we link to our blog post about it?
Should we link to our team shop with info on the show in the annoucements?
Link to the Fan Page on Facebook to build forever fans and we can inform them on the shows as they get info on it!

ooooh, good question!!! I'm leaning toward the Facebook page, but what if they don't "do" facebook? Then I think the blog, then I think it should be the team shop, I don't know what would be best???

If the ad is run on FB, then it should link to the Fan Page I think.

hahaha!! See so many answers to one question

I agree if we go to a Facebook Ad, it should link to the fanpage. That's probably the best way to go about it.

Thank you for sending out our ad on Facebook Alissa, I have repaid your 10.00 to the email you sent me the reciept from!

Thanks, Michelle. Here are the stats from that ad:

We had 29,849 impressions (that's how many times it was shown)
We had 23 clicks at an average of 43 cents each.
We spent ten dollars.

Very cool!!!!
