The Etsy Treasury , Tips for Making it To the Front Page...Selling, Exposure for Shops

From our very own  Leuckit, Fill me with love.....
 We've been talking a lot about the *free* Etsy Treasury tool lately.  Our team requires one per month, and I know plenty of you do them more than that. *BIG THANK YOU*  If we have 200 members, making 200 treasuries a month, featuring 16 items per month, the chances of your shop being in it is pretty great--do the math. *If you have three shops you can simply make your quota of 3 treasuries out of one store if you wish.*
Cornerstop offers these cute I love Etsy Tags!
PROOF IN THE PUDDING:
Here is proof of what a Treasury can do for a team.  This one, posted by the Vesties, hit THE FRONT PAGE of Etsy and almost all the items have sold.  That is amazing. That's what WE NEED.  The Vesties have found a way to make it to the front page several times recently.  

They are reading the Storque, and articles such as THIS ONE FROM MERCHANDISING DESK talk about what Etsy is looking for for the given month.

If you make it to the front page, your item will get lots of close-up views. This bow by JenLucasDesigns.

Once a treasury I was in hit the front page, and that day I had over 700 views to my shop and sold a crapload of items later that week. Some of those customers still shop with me now.  I find that even if people don't buy right away, they may add you as a favorite shop and come back again and again. You can find out if your item ever made it to the front page  by using this cute Craft Cult tool here. It's all about the FRONT PAGE!

To get our team to the front page here's what we need:
a) Good pictures only!
b) A Title or Target from this STORQUE ARTICLE,
c) Lack of yourself or any of your shops in the article.
d) Helpful Hints by Heather HERE
e) Use this Whale Shark Tool to put it in your website or blog.

  Even if we don't make it to the front page, a treasury is a FREE TOOL FOR:

a) Bringing exposure to the items featured.
b) Allowing you to show off your curating skills to Facebook, Twitter, and share to other places
c) Helping your Team Members get item views, hearts, and perhaps some new lookers!

Hey, stop reading and start treasury making...
Enjoy this one in the meantime by one of our lovely Team Leaders aka Forums Diva:

Etsy Recyclers Guild Facelift , Team News, & Purple Passion Treasury

Adorable Purple Barbie Dress by Gordon4aday

Hello teamies! Our blog has gotten a new facelift (hey, it's purple) and I'm happy to report a few things :

1) We will be offering both a vintage spotlight and a handmade spotlight going forward, so that we may highlight both kinds of shops!

2) Immense thank you's to Retreaux Girl who will be working hard in the team forums with Lizzie Caye that are housed on Etsy.  They are here and something you should use!  Just stop by to say hi, or ask for help, or discuss anything.  Due to recent announcements on Etsy about their main forums going "bye-byes", OUR team forum will be the main place for us to network and bond.  :) That sounds like fun doesn't it?

3) Our Contest closes Feb 14th, and is a great way for you to exposure your shop along with someone else's--and since we'll be featuring the winner on this very blog with freebies and free advertising worth $200+ how can you beat that?  All you have to do is write one silly little BLOG POST (or article on your site.)  You can't beat that.  Make sure to send this contest to all your firends and family, as they don't have to be Etsians! It's all about the networking!

4) Soon after that look for cool treasury challenges.  Why make treasuries? Because it exposes products to others, and gets your products viewed, tweeted, facebooked and talked about.  For just a few minutes of work, it sure is a lot of exposure! Speaking of treasuries...

Green Love Treasury by Into the Trees and How to Promote Your Treasury

In case you're wondering, I'm using "Whale Shark Studios Website Treasury Tool"  to make these.  First heard about this on Handmadeology.  You simply take the "treasury ID" and get a script code where you can post into the HTML of any blog, website, etc! The best part? Someone can CLICK right on the item itself, and go to the item via your shop and BUY. (We used to have to do screen shots to post the treasuries we were in, not so anymore folks! Now it's live and adaptable) What a great idea for your blog or web page to increase sales....some team members featured here, I just really love the way she did this treasury.
