Columbia's Famously Hot Etsy Team - 1-21-11 Newsletter

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well this week!  There’s not much to say this week so this email should be relatively brief.

We’re up to 148 members!  Hello to all new members!  We look forward to working with you this year!

Alright, on to the list of business topics to cover:

1. Free Local Shipping/Pickup- We’ve had a few more people offer free shipping/pickup/delivery!  Here’s the complete list:

2. Team Sale-  littlelordmars found a wonderful selling opportunity for our team.  Just as a reminder here is the description from the last newsletter:

“I have an idea for a Craft Fair and wanted to run it by everyone. There is a Community Room at the Village at Sandhill in NE Columbia, which allows a daily rental of events .Here is website link to the Community Room: http://www.villageatsandhillonline.com/CR%20FAQ.php

The daily cost of the room is $500 – which includes 20, 8ft tables and 85 chairs – so if 20 Etsy shops participate, it would only be $25 a shop.

The requirements for reservations are that they cannot be made further out than 120 days in advance and full payment is required upon the reservation.

…

 Thanks!
Joyce”

The current plan is to aim to hold this event on May 7^th (the Saturday before Mother’s Day).

If you would be interested in participating in this event please indicate your interest in the forums here: http://www.etsy.com/teams/6698/columbias-famously-hot-etsy-team/discuss/6732203/  In the forums you can also find the discussion about advertising, dates, prices, etc. 

Or you can email Joyce at littlelordmars@yahoo.com  We need an accurate number of those interested in selling so we can determine space allotments, so please let us know as soon as you can if you are interested.

Also, Joyce is sending out updates to anyone interested.  If you would like to join the mailing list for this, please send her your email address at (littlelordmars@yahoo.com).

I think it would be a really great opportunity for us all to get together to sell!  And it would be a lot of fun!  Please let us know if you are interested so we can organize an interest meeting!

This Week’s To Do List-

a. Post in the forums and check out the shops of fellow team members on the team page: http://www.etsy.com/teams/6698/columbias-famously-hot-etsy-team

b. Let me know if you would like to be included on the free local pickup list.
