April Showers Bring May Flowers - or so they say!

The saying goes that "April showers bring May flowers!" I certainly am on for a beautiful garden if this is so!  I hope that you all had a fab Easter and have recovered from all the chocolate indulgence!

We have had a brilliant week back with lots of sales, fun & cake!  We are well on the way to 10000 fb likers now which is awesome and we are deep in the planning stages for a celebratory event that everyone can get involved in for our 10000 celebration!  Details to follow!

The book is now open to organise your promotion well into June with the themed days in the drop down menus. 

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



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"

Nearly Easter!

I'm not really sure where this year is flying away to but with the children breaking up from school it means that Easter is on the Horizon. We have had an amazing few weeks at British Crafters with sales soaring through the roof.  Sales from Facebook have been good as ever but we are also starting to get sales from pour Featured Shops Pinterest Board via Twitter!  I love Pinterest and often get lost for a while in there but I was surprised to learn last year when I visited Etsy HQ in London that it is the biggest referrer of traffic to Etsy! We are almost at 9500 fb likers which is awesome and we are planning an event that everyone can get involved in for our 10000 celebration!  Details to follow! We are taking a (well earned - I think!) 2 week break now but will be back in earnest on 22/4 after Bank Holiday Monday! The book is now open to organise you promotion into June with the themed days in the drop down menus.  For people that haven't yet booked with us here is a guide for you! 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.

Back Again!

Hello!  We are back and refreshed after a week off!  We were struck by the power of the "handmade" ideal this weekend when posting this that had been seen on Twitter onto the FB page.

To date it has been shared 757 times and had over 60000 views!  I have no idea if the story is true or not but it certainly reassured me of the passion behind handmade!

A busy few weeks now with the run up to Mother's Day and Easter - we have spaces on our Gift Guide days which were very popular in the run up to Christmas generating lots of sales!
