April Showers....





Bring May flowers....or so the saying goes!  Maybe an eternal optimist made this up!  Still it does seem that with the evenings being lighter and the temperature gradually rising that Spring is upon us!

We have had a busy season at British Crafters since January, with a hectic Valentine's & Mother's Day, closely followed by the Easter build up!  Our reach on FB has continued to defy the FB gloom merchants and on a few occasions we have almost achieved a post reach of 50K which is amazing!

Twitter continues to bring customers our way too and with almost 27K followers now, it really is a fabulous way to get your work seen far & wide!

We are going to take a break for Easter now and for a bit of recovery before reopening for the Summer stretch.  We will reopen for business on Monday 27th April with renewed vigour and enthusiasm to help you sell your wonderful creations!


We have a little surprise Easter Gift for 10 of you you too!  The first 10 Twitter promotions booked over the Easter Weekend - so from now on Good Friday until 2359 on Easter Monday will come with free traditional promo too!  Everyone likes a BOGOF! *So if you book a one day Twitter Boost you will receive Traditional promo on that day free. If you book a week of Twitter promo you get free Traditional promo in that week from Mon - Fri!* Once it's sold out I will add a note right here to let you know!


Here is a resume of the services available to you.

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 10 links by at the very latest 6pm on the day before your promotion starts.

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 #britcraft
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.

Wishing you and your families a relaxing and restful Easter time and I look forward to working with you all again as we charge into the Summer months!

Happy Easter!
