Columbia's Famously Hot Etsy Team - Newsletter 2/24/2011


Hello Everyone!


It’s almost the weekend and the weather is warm!  It’s a good day!  J


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!  New additions are marked in italics and bold.  Here’s the complete list:




            Let me know if you would like to be added to the list!


2.     Local Destash Party
“Columbia’s Famously Hot Etsy Team’s “Spring Cleaning Sale” to be held May 21st in Lexington SC. A great opportunity to find new homes for your new or gently used craft or art supplies that you no longer need. Everyone can bring a convenient snack food or dessert and we will also be having “Show and Tell” where each member can bring a special art or craft piece that they would like to show off and discuss. If successful, perhaps this could become an annual event for Columbia's Famously Hot Etsy Team!”
If you are interested in attending this event, please visit the discussion here: http://www.etsy.com/teams/6698/columbias-famously-hot-etsy-team/discuss/6774701/
           
3.     Team Promotions- Several team members are offering promotions this week!
TheFeltedPosey says: “I'm offering a %15 discount to all Famously Hot team members, just enter FAMHOT1 at checkout!”
TheItemShoppe says: “I'm also offering a discount to all team members:

Just enter FAMOUSLYHOT10 at checkout for a 10% discount.

I also offer free local pickup (or I can meet you somewhere). To choose this option and receive free shipping just enter FREESHIPPING at checkout.

Thanks!
^^”

4.     Team Alchemy-
Be sure to check out and post requests in the team’s alchemy section: http://www.etsy.com/teams/6698/columbias-famously-hot-etsy-team/discuss/6765551/page/1/?post_id=59442556
It’s a great way to request custom items made by local crafts(wo)men.
We actually have two new custom offers this week:
PaperCadence says: “I can make 1 inch pinback buttons with any design or messages you would like, including shop logos or icons. These are great items to include as thank you gifts in purchases. I sell individual pinback buttons for $0.50 a piece, but can do group discounts for larger orders and will be happy to provide local pickup.

Examples of these badges can be found here:
