Columbia's Famously Hot Etsy Team - Newsletter 1-10-11

Hello Everyone!

Yay for snow days!  In my opinion this is the best way to start off a new semester at school!  I hope you all are staying warm and safe!

We’re up to 144 members!  Hello to all new members!  We look forward to working with you!

Alright, on to the list of business topics to cover.  There are some very important announcements this time so please read carefully!

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

2. Treasury-  I found the following in the last Etsy team email:

"As you may have noticed, we've been featuring one Team Treasury a week in this newsletter. If you'd like to get involved, flex those Treasury-making muscles and show us what you've got! … The most important thing to remember is to tag your treasury with the word "etsyteam" and if you use Twitter, use the #EtsyTeamTreasury tag in your tweets when sharing those links. Good luck!”

A team treasure featured in the newsletter would be a great way to promote our team!  So get out there and make some team treasuries!

We have one new team treasury this week!  It’s a Valentine treasury!  Check it out and post your own!

3. Local Craft Opportunities-  CraftyFeast is coming on April 16^th!  For more information please refer to this link: http://www.craftyfeast.com/Welcome.html

4. Team Sale-  littlelordmars found a wonderful selling opportunity for our team:

“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.

If anyone is interested in this, just reply to this message and I can organize a meeting to go over further details.

Thanks!
Joyce”

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 reply to me or email Joyce at littlelordmars@yahoo.com

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

This Week’s To Do List-

a. Check out the forums and 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.
