It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!

Well I think that we are all turning our heads towards Christmas now with even the non - believers getting swept up in the spirit of things!

We have been having great fun on the Facebook page with enough mulled wine and Christmas food goodies consumed to sink a battleship!  The page continues to buck the FB trend and will top 14K likers sometime today!  The page works so well because of all your wonderful interaction on it - so thank you for that!

Twitter is also proving to be a powerful marketing tool for your products!  With 21K followers we really can spread your work to a huge audience now which is very exciting for us (and for you!)

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 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.

  

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.

If you are thinking of booking then it might be helpful to see just 1 of the huge number of feedback stories we get every week!

Daisycrazy creations says.... A big thank you Dottie, since my booked slot today I have had two sales and more visits to my Etsy shop than I usually have in a week, not to mention some new facebook friends :) You certainly worked your magic and I will certainly be booking more days in the future. Thanks again xx
 

Onwards towards Christmas now hoping it is the sound of your tills that are "Jingling all the Way!"

All booked promotion on these days will be placed in our Ultimate British Gift Guide which will be promoted via Pinterest & Twitter.

Kate from Kasasagi says

"It works so well! When I tried a day last month I think I got more views with one day's promotion than I've got with Etsys own paid promotion in a whole month!"

Our FB page continues to defy the trend of lowering reach because of all the wonderful interaction from you all.  If you get a chance do pop over and give a like to the business page if you see something that you like so that we help everyone's reach and visibility.

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!  Rachel Elliot from Rachel Elliot Glassworks 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!
