B&R Treasury and

"Promotional Frenzy"

Art of Amy started a new BNR (Buy and Replace) Treasury on Etsy;
http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4cb36da3b3b06d91a2ec35af/open-fun-games-bnr-28-sales-total-7?page=19#comments

It's open tonight and wil stay open until 2:00 AM!  It's hopping right now, so drop by, leave a comment, look into the featured shops, and who knows; maybe you'll find something you just have to have. If you have a shop on Etsy yourself let your purchase do double-duty and get you some more promotion for yours!

Note that there will be 3 rounds in this treasury and that it will open again at 6:00 PM tomorrow night after being moved to another link (to be announced).

Galla15 has posted a new thread that is a spin-off from 30 Minutes of Fame called Promotional Frenzy. It has a new twist, some new ideas, and some new participants as well as the regulars from the Fame thread!

Tomorrow night  (October 12th) will be the first of our Promotional Frenzies.
Be here at 9:00 PM EST ;

We hope to attract alot of Etsy sellers and would love to see a variety of different mediums represented. If you have a food shop, we'd love to see you too! The holidays are coming and that means lots of feasting on all kinds of goodies! This is a wonderful opportunity for cross-promotion, so come and tell your friends to be there too!

(Save the above link; it will be visible at opening time!)

HOW IT WORKS:

We create a treasury (pictorial gallery of 16 items on Etsy) with a variety of sellers. Then you "announce" that you're buying from a specific seller in that treasury. Come back with your transaction link, and we'll put your shop in our treasury in place of the one from which you bought!

WHAT'S 30 MINUTES OF FAME?


It's actually something that queenofalltrades.etsy.com started in the forum threads. Fame is where we spend 30 minutes doing nothing but shopping, hearting, and promoting the "Famous Shop" hoping that it gets a least one sale. You can be the Famous Shop by posting a designated numbered post (for example the 5000th post) in the thread :) It's a lot of fun - we hang out, chat, promote, and make friends! Come join us!

WHAT'S A BNR?

It stands for "Buy N Replace." We create a treasury with a variety of sellers. Then you "announce" that you're buying from a specific seller in that treasury. Come back with your transaction link, and we'll put your shop in our treasury in place of the one from which you bought!

WHAT'S 30 MINUTES OF FAME?

It's actually something that queenofalltrades.etsy.com started in the threads. Fame is where we spend 30 minutes doing nothing but shopping, hearting, and promoting the "Famous Shop" hoping that it gets a least one sale. You can be the Famous Shop by posting a designated numbered post (for example the 5000th post) in the thread :) It's a lot of fun - we hang out, chat, promote, and make friends! Come join us!

Get Something Bright and Shiny for You or Someone Special and Stimulate The Economy!

Read all about it here in the Etsy shop specially designed for this purpose;
http://www.etsy.com/shop/30minutesbnr

For those of you who don't know what Buy and Replace is, here's how it works;
just buy from one of the 16 featured shops, (and if you have an etsy shop) one of your items will then replace the shop you bought from! This is a great promotional tool, and has great potential to generate sales for many sellers throughout the day, so please consider shopping, clicking on the shops featured, and leaving comments in the area below the exhibited items!

30 Minutes of Fame-A Clever Way of Marketing Art-based Businesses Online

If you don't know what 30 Minutes of Fame refers to check out this Etsy forum thread!
http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6585117&page=1

In a nutshell, this is how it works; for 30 minutes one Etsy shop is promoted intensively by the participants in the thread. That lucky shop gets links posted in the thread, on twitter, facebook, blogs, and/or other places for that half-hour, and hopefully sales! The "famous" person is chosen by landing on certain number posts in the thread and then scgedules the time and date they would like within a 72 hour period of winning.

Tonight we have two scheduled, and any and all readers are invited to attend and share in the fun!
