Current TeamLove promotions

Imagine being able to design your own promotional schedule to fit your personal and shop goals. Do you have a job outside of Etsy? Is Etsy your full time job? 

We have several TeamLove promotions, all based on reciprocation; the more you participate in the promos, the more your shop or items will be promoted. Limited in time? Then pick the promo that you think will work best for you, your family or your health!

Each shop owner can design their own promotional schedule and hopefully these descriptions will be helpful to you, as a shop owner, in deciding how much time, energy and effort you want to put into promoting.

Remember, we are not asking you to participate in all of these promos. If you have to take some time off for a while, just let the team know you’re taking a break. We want you to be as successful in your Etsy shop as you can be….and still have fun doing it!

If I were going to suggest two promotions to focus on, it would be the Flash Mob (because it helps you to build your social shopping networks slowly and promotes your shop outside of Etsy while increasing your relevancy with the search engines), and one Etsy-based promotion.

Weekly promotions
These require a commitment to participate daily, although some members that can only participate toward the end of the week are very successful in both of these.
