Yesterday was the “etsyday”… and the goal was to spread the word all around the globe about what Etsy is… There were lots of actions as sales, discounts and free shippings in lots of shops but also specials treasuries (as the ones I show you here from Etsyinspanish team) for the ocassion… but the “real action” happened on Twitter.
The idea was to tweet messages with #etsyday and hopefully we could reach being in the topics trends… but the surprise was we made it to the first place!
It was amazing because we saw how powerfull a simple message can be if everyone works as a time it almost at the same time… imagine a lots of artisans,artists, photographers, crafters… behind their computers trying to let the world know about their business… it was BIG!
I think being the first trending topic, at least people who were connected at that time were wondering what Etsy is about…. and that was exactly the point..
Personally I promoted people without a sale (and things I saw in the pounce section of Etsy… but only the ones I liked;)) and I also made a little list with some of their creations on This Next and I also promoted latin american crafters (searching for locations) and people from Etsyinspanish team… group I belong to. Obvisouly I promoted my handmade store and my vintage store.
It was funny because at one moment I was on the top trendsetters… so I realized I have never spent so much time behind the computer… but I still thinking it was very collaborative and with a lot of “community” sense.
The best was seing some of the people I was recommended making their first sale and also making a lot of contacts…
Have a nice weekend!
