Can you feel the love?

It's been an incredible week for us here at British Crafters!  We have had an amazing number of sales generated, some people picking up (large) wholesale orders and lots of banter (and cake!)

On Friday we passed an amazing milestone of 7000 likers on our fb page!  We are 2 weeks away from our First birthday and it's hard to imagine that this time last year everything that has become so successful was just a notebook of "good ideas"!

Our reach on fb is greater than ever - up to 23,804 and amazingly up 14.4% on the previous week! Twitter remains a great source of promotion and our Featured Shops Pinterest Board has itself started to generate sales - woohoo!

We are almost fully booked on some days next week, so if you are thinking of giving your Valentine's Day or Mother's Day promotion a boost with us don't wait too long or you may miss out!

For people that haven't booked with us before, here is a guide.



1.  Have a look at the upcoming themes to see which of your items fit into which themed category.


2.  Decide on whether you want to book a single day or book for 5 days which saves  you 20%.


3.  Purchase your chosen day or block of days from the drop down menu. The price is £2 for a day or £8 for 5 days.


4.  Email info@britishcrafters.co.uk with your item link for promotion. If you have booked for 5 days then you need to send 5 links.


5.  Links must be received by 9pm please on the day before you wish to be shared.


6.  Shop links work better than FB links as you can't Pin to Pinterest from FB.  If however you only sell from a Facebook page then we will work extra hard to promote your facebook page on both Facebook and Twitter.

7.  As soon as your shop link is received you will be pinned to the Featured Shops Pin board and your promotion starts.


8.  Sit back and let us do the hard work for you!

Below are the links to book slots.  

To keep the wonderful dynamic of the page we will continue to do free shares with fb only links and will also limit the number  of paid slots available each day.  Once that number is achieved it will be marked on the drop down menu as "sold out"

Looking forward to another fantastic week!

Happy New Year!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to 2014!  We at British Crafters are excited about the next year and all that it will bring with it! We were thrilled with the promotion in November and December and how many sales were directly generated from it!  One Folksy seller went from 0 to 100 with almost closing her shop in October, signing up for our promotion in November/December and then making it to No1 in the Folksy Best Seller list!  How awesome is that! I'm just going to run through the booking process again in case anyone is unsure. 1.  Have a look at the upcoming themes to see which of your items fit into which themed category. 2.  Decide on whether you want to book a single day or book for 5 days which saves  you 20%. 3.  Purchase your chosen day or block of days from the drop down menu.
