I've ordered a few things for the giveaway already. Unfortunately, I realized that one of the sellers I bought from lives in Canada, so the giveaway *might* be delayed. Or I might just hold the items for my next giveaway. Who knows?!
Stay tuned for the next round of Anything Goes!
Archive for June 2011
If you have some free time today, I'm hosting an Anything Goes BNR. Please stop by if you can! It's connected to my 50th sale giveaway that I posted about last week.
You see, I need items to give away for my giveaway, or else it wouldn't be much of a giveaway, would it? I think it would be rather boring to give away stuff from my shop, if not time consuming since most of my items are made-to-order. So instead, I'll be using goodies that I buy from a variety of other Etsians.
So, what exactly does that mean?
Everyone whos item(s) I feature in my giveaway will be featured on this blog, my Facebook, and Twitter (free promotion!). Their items will be fully credited to them and they will get linked when possible.
How do you get the chance to become a featured seller in my giveaway, you ask? Just buy into the BNR and I'll throw your shop name into a randomized generator and pick my winners from there.
Today, it's storming really bad..lots of thunder and lightning. I hope it doesn't interfere with the BNR (power, please stay on!).
I've almost reached 50 sales in my shop. How awesome is that?
I started my Etsy shop almost a year ago, very disillusioned and without first taking the time to properly understand the mechanics of the site and finer points of marketing. Lampshades N' Lollipops has come a very long way, building from the ground up on very shaky legs. 50 sales marks a huge milestone for me, one that means that I was able to achieve success.
To celebrate the occasion, I'll be hosting a giveaway that will include items from various Etsy members. I'll be posting details soon, so I suggest liking my Facebook page or following me on Twitter to keep in the loop (or following my blog if you haven't already!).
Etsy sellers: If you want me to consider you for being a featured seller in the giveaway, make sure to check out the BNR I'll be hosting next Tuesday (6/21) morning. Post in the comments if you would like to be contacted when the BNR starts.
Cheers!
Yay! I'm so excited! I was chosen to be featured as the shop of the day for April's Army! Do you know what that means? (Aside from excessive over-use of exclamation marks?) COUPON CODE! "APRILSARMY" gets you 10% off.
Now, a little about the team.
April's Army grew from the internet sensation Regretsy. I can't remember when or where or why, but it did. Actually, I think it started when readers started creating protest treasuries in order to call out re-sellers, but that's not important.
I know that Regretsy takes a lot of flack for being horrible and hurtful and all manner of negative adverbs and adjectives, but Regretsy does do a lot of good. It's actually really great exposure for people who get featured. It's become so huge that almost 90,000 people read it daily. Even if just a small fraction of those people click to visit the shop, that's still a significant number.
On top of that, April and her army of minions do some amazing charity work for the Etsy community. Every month, they feature a seller in need sell member donated items in their charity shop. All the money raised goes to that person.
If you're looking for an extremely active team of wonderful people, look no further than April's Army. The mini-community is fantastic and everyone helps each other out.
CF4L!
I've been featured in a BNR (buy n' replace) before - hosted by a member of April's Army. This is my first BNS (buy n' stay) and I'm super excited! Come look at all these fine sellers. As an added bonus, I've got a special coupon code! "BNSSALE" will get you 10% off.
Don't forget, anyone with a shop can buy a spot for next round, just make sure you read the rules first! I have a spot in a Geeky BNS as well - I'll post more information on that as I find out!
