Columbia's Famously Hot Etsy Team Newsletter 3-27-11

Hello Everyone!

I’m so sorry it’s been so long since the last newsletter.  I have just been swamped with work.  Sorry!  But that just means that this newsletter is going to be very interesting! J

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

1.      Local Destash Party-

Columbia’s Famously Hot Etsy Team’s “Spring Cleaning Sale” is to be held May 21st in Lexington SC.  Setup begins at 9am (tentatively) and the sale will last from 10-12.  It’s 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/

            Be sure to note what food or drink you are bringing!

2.      Local Selling Opportunity-

oildays says:

“Hot Etsy Team - there are several art studios available on Main Street in Lexington for VERY reasonable rent ! They are located at Artists At Work Studios, 112 East Main Street, Lexington. Right next to the empty field where they are locating a new weekend farmers market. Contact Todd Taylor at todda_taylor@bose.com for more info.”

           

3.      Team Promotions- Several team members are offering promotions this week!

naturesadornments says:

“Hi everyone, I am in the process of putting some of my items on sale. Many would make great Mother's Day gifts and will be greatly marked down. Visit my Etsy shop and search the word "sale" and you will pull up all of my sale items. Have a great day.

LilabelleBathBody says:

“I just opened shop, so I'm promoting everything! Go take a look!”  Type "FRESH" for 10% off every purchase!

4.      Team Alchemy-

Be sure to check out and post custom item 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 have one new custom offer this week:

WildLilyDesigns says:

“Will work with you on everything from conceptual designs to the nitty gritty of fonts and colors. I'm also able to design business cards, calling cards, stickers, labels, etc.

Send me a convo if you're interested!

Thanks :)”
