What a week!





Wow!  We have had an awesome start to September and are very grateful that people didn't forget about us during the Summer Break! We are now looking ahead into the Autumn and booking is now open until the end of October.
Facebook has been amazing with all your likes, shares and comments pushing our reach right out to almost 40K! Amazing! Lots of people reporting sales, commissions and it has a wonderful vibrancy that people are loving!
Our new Twitter Promotions have been a massive hit with much success for shops that have taken part so far.  Not only are people picking up good commissions and sales but they are increasing their following and potential customer base for the future. Our Twitter following is currently at 17.5K which is very exciting!

booked Twitter 140 for last week and shared this with us...


"Cannot recommend this enough, did this promo this last week as a bit of an experiment 

and great results for me including sales and commissions. Paid for itself on day 1!"

A great recommend indeed!

Here is a quick breakdown of the different Promotions you can book!


Twitter Boost
This is available to book on a daily basis and over a 24 hour period you will receive a total of 20 tweets with up to 4 unique links of your choice.  These can be to your shop, a particular item, your fb page or your blog. 5 of these tweets will have photos attached to them for greater exposure on Twitter. In addition your @twittername will be used so that your account will gain exposure leading to more followers for you. After booking you must email britishcrafters@gmail.com with your choice of date and your 4 links.
Twitter 1402

This is available to book on a weekly basis.  Over 7 consecutive days (Mon - Sun) you will get 140 Tweets - 20 a day in each 24 hour period. You get to choose 10 unique links of your choice.  These can be to your shop, a particular item, your fb page or your blog. 5 of these tweets a day will have photos attached to them for greater exposure on Twitter. In addition your @twittername will be used in some of the tweets so that your account will gain exposure leading to more followers for you. After booking you must email britishcrafters@gmail.com with your choice of date and your 10 links.



Traditional Promotion

What you get for this is

a. A Featured Spot on Facebook with a shop link to your item and an uploaded photo plus a link to your fb page. (Bringing you new likes to your fb page too!)
b. 3 tweets to your featured item using #britcraftplus
c. Pinned to the Featured Shops Pinterest Board for that month. (promoted all month)
d. A Stumbleupon Review for your item.


For people that haven't yet booked with us here is a guide for you!



1.  Have a look at the upcoming themes on the drop down menus 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 £2.50 for a day or £10 for 5 days.

4.  Email britishcrafters@gmail.com with your item link/links for promotion. If you have booked for 5 days then you need to send 5 links.

5.  Links must be received by 6pm 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.
  
If you want to book additional boosting Twitter promotion - select from the promotion options available.  Use this independently as promotion or in conjunction with our Traditional promotion.

Of course we will continue to work our FB page as before with a good number of free shares and in order 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"

Our Twitter promotions will also be limited in number as we value our followers and don't want them to switch us off if we are tweeting promotions too much!  We want to keep them all so that they will spend money in your shops!

We look forward to promoting your shops, especially as people start to think about Christmas shopping!
