<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You may have noticed a sharp decrease in facebook page reach (the number of people who see your facebook posts from your fan page) lately. Many, many things have changed on this social media platform during recent months. However, facebook will now increase your exposure based on page activity. The more ACTIVE your fan page is, the more REACH.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO0G0HOH2obfuAUFtq86DGNFn8HdgX3ptGXJxrNkvKF25NmnkPAkMUIv8HSHLpyQbuLjqr8KVWNdvThKeElF-60YWuvzutoIanQjPQU-otkGs1iLKH8RPUx6IFLlm_JJSmriD-Jaw4vyg/s1600/etsy+fb+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO0G0HOH2obfuAUFtq86DGNFn8HdgX3ptGXJxrNkvKF25NmnkPAkMUIv8HSHLpyQbuLjqr8KVWNdvThKeElF-60YWuvzutoIanQjPQU-otkGs1iLKH8RPUx6IFLlm_JJSmriD-Jaw4vyg/s1600/etsy+fb+collage.jpg" height="200" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Take a minute to think about this. How engaging is your fan page? Do you ask questions? Do you get answers to those questions asked? Are people liking and commenting on your posts? There's a way that we can help each other as small business owners. We as handmade artists are a community, and we are and can be a strong force when we work together toward a common goal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our goal: Increase our facebook reach.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How are we going to do this? Facebook promotion! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We are Promoting Creative Friends Team, and <b><span style="font-size: x-large;">we can do this</span></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you're on facebook, and you can spare just a minute or two of your time once or twice a week, we encourage you to read the short directions and see how we can work together to increase our reach.</span></span>PCF Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06813887730776307028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147403881027916350.post-18852010318005604512014-06-07T06:00:00.000-05:002014-06-07T06:00:01.706-05:00Our Winners Are...<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have TWO winners for our first group giveaway, winning one Sampler Box each.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year we will be selling Sampler Boxes for Mother's Day!

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As you can see from the video, each participating shop has a discount offer with a special coupon code specifically for this event. The coupon code is a universal code, so it's the same code for all participating shops. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Use coupon code: <span style="color: red;"><b>PCFTBOX1</b></span></span> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We'll also be hosting a huge double giveaway as another way to kick off and celebrate this special event, and we hope you'll all come by and enter for your chance to win. The giveaway is tentatively set for <b>April 14 - April 30</b>. There will be two prize packs, including sampler items from all participating shops. Lots of goodies to be won!</span><br />

I've sold on Etsy, Zibbet, and Handmade Artist, and I have a store front on my facebook page, but now I sell exclusively on The Craft Star. I love the support and family feeling of The Craft Star, and they are right on top of the next new way of on-line selling and promoting.....video. They have a strong presence on Google+, have weekly get-togethers, and I am getting ready to do my second "live" event of showcasing my shop on google+ and youtube throught The Craft Star. I can't say enough good things about that site. I had 2 shops there, but just recently I put my vintage and handmade together into one shop for easier focused promoting for me....Yankee Burrow.</div>

I love to paint and draw, but with kids, and housework, and errands, I find it easier to grab some yarn and a hook. With crochet, you can put down your work easily, and do it anywhere. I do a lot of my crocheting in the car (as a passenger of course) or just relaxing at the end of the day. My wonderful husband built me a studio where I can run away to and play with my paints and beads without interruption. :0)</div>

She was an artist and I spend many many many happy days at local art shows with her. And I spent many many many happy hours helping her to prepare for each show, lol. I inherited her small art table and many of her sketches when she went home, and to honor her I have started a line of greeting cards and art work sharing her drawings. I call it "Rusty Art" and I will eventually add some of my own original work to the line.</span><br />

My blog would have to be my favorite means of promotion....I love to tell stories, and to share, and a blog is a great format from which to share not only my items, but handmade items for all over the place. I like to do artist features from all venues, and I love to talk about my family and my childhood memories. I am always surprised that other people comment and enjoy my stories. And like Bethan Davis always says "every item has a story", and you can't always share that story in a 140 character tweet.But I do enjoy twitter too because it is so quick and easy, so I use my mobile app...a lot. :0)</div>

<b>You listed twitter/G+/Wanelo as your favorite forms of promotion. Why
are these your favorite, and if you could choose only one - which would
it be?</b><br />
I'd have to say one reason these are my favorite forms of promotion is
they are easy and quick to use and do bring in the most traffic for me.
If I had to choose just one I would choose G+ because it is still new to
sellers online and is growing fast. There isn't a lot of socializing on
there like other platforms and yet you still can get noticed quickly.
Oh and search engines, like Google, your posts you share get picked up
on Google. I see a lot of my posts on the first page of Google a lot and
this too brings some good traffic.</span><br />

online shop selling handmade, vintage or crafting supplies, you're
invited to link up with us and share your goods. All online shops are
welcome (Etsy, Zibbet, ArtFire, etc), so don't be shy, share what you've
got for sale! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We'll be hosting
the monthly Shop Hop during the first week of each month, lasting for about
one week (through the 10th of the month). And each month, a couple of shops will be chosen at random
(via random.org) as the <b>Spotlight Shops</b> to be featured during the next
month's hop. Please be sure to visit the Spotlight Shops in support of
small business, and in the name of Promoting Creative Friends (all
social media shares are, of course, welcome and much appreciated as
well).</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shop owner's favorite form of promotion is making Etsy Treasuries, and in turn, being featured in Etsy Treasuries. The partial treasury shown below is one of Bonnie's treasuries curated earlier this month. Beautiful, isn't it? You can click the image to visit and leave a comment on the treasury.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We asked Bonnie, one of the four owners/creators of the shop, what her biggest creative inspiration is. This is what she said:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ebf6f9; color: #333333; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20.99431800842285px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Since there are 4 of us in the shop, I can only speak for myself, but color and texture is what grabs me.</span><br />
