Etsykids Team started a wonderful group of curators that work hard in creating beautiful treasuries that feature our members. We are a hard working group of artists and mom's. It has been a true pleasure meeting these woman. It gives me a greater incentive to help them achieve a front page. My goal from the start was to always support mom-owned business and this group has allowed me to do that. I am very happy to have my treasury selected by the Etsy Admins to be in the front page. It showed at 4:00am, way to early for me to see it. This morning as I am making coffee and making my kiddo breakfast before we run out to her toddler classes, I was pleased to see that as I am checking my Etsy account I saw that one of my treasuries had a large amount of views (500+).What a great surprise as I scrolled down to the comments section and saw, "Congrats on FP". I was thrilled.
Those of you who are not familiar with Etsy or Treasuries here is a little info; " Treasury is an ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery of handpicked items. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme or just whatever they like. The Treasury is not intended for self-promotion, but instead to acknowledge and share the many cool things for sale on Etsy. Etsy’s staff (“Admin”) often choose whole or partial exceptional Treasury lists to promote to the featured, handpicked items on Etsy’s home page. Treasury lists are temporary and limited in number, so there is some competition involved in creating a list of your own. "
So what does this mean to me? After all these were not my products that made it?
To me it is another way to advertise my business, to use my creative skills, and help other shops. Ohh yeah..and I am addicted to making them!! There are great artists on Etsy and it is important to me to achieve a presence amongst them as a fellow artists. An amazing factor is that Etsy Admins saw my work, by receiving this exposure I hope it will open doors for me to other possibilities like the chance to be featured on their blog. I also helped my team!! The great Etsykids treasury team, that in our opening month of October we have been featured in the front page over 5 times.
That is great!
I am very happy! I wanted to give a shout out to the shops that were included in the treasury, Congrats to you all!!
