Tips for Etsy: Treasury Widgets

Hello Team Members!

Laurel and I have been having so much fun working on the Team and I am so happy to see the growth in membership!!! We have created this blog to promote and help our team members with their Etsy business and I am going to help with a section featuring tips and tricks to maximize your time on Etsy and within the team.

Some useful sites to bookmark are:

CRAFTOPOLIS: http://www.craftopolis.com/  

This site is sooooo helpful and you would be a fool not to bookmark it!  It sets up a calender that shows on each day how many people visit your shop, if you receive a heart(s), and how much money you made daily/ monthly! 

The best feature here for saving time when updating your shop is "Edit Express" where you can  edit price, title, description, and quantity on items in minutes.

Etsy On Sale: http://www.etsyonsale.com/sellers

This site is useful to batch organize your items for sales and it very easy to even set up sales in advance.  You can even use it to change the tags on your items if you haven't tagged SCAD yet ;)

My absolutely favorite site for Etsy users is Craft Cult! http://www.craftcult.com/heartomatic.php

You can see who hearts your items and shows helpful charts that you can use along with your analytics to maximize and analyze your sales.  If you haven't set up analytics in any of your sites- No worries! This helpful site gives you all the information you need :)

Here is my latest Treasury Selection for the Team.  If you haven't tagged your items with "SCAD" you are missing out on an opportunity to get exposure in our treasuries and features,  Please make sure you tag your items as well as put the following text in your shop profile: "I am a proud member of TEAM SCAD + ETSY = LOVE.

The above treasury widget can be created on Craft Cult as well and it is super easy to create!

These widgets are perfect for including on your blog or site promoting your Treasuries and Team.

You can also make a super awesome Shop Widget here too, and we are hoping for a similar one on this blog each month featuring one of our Team Member's Shop :)

Hope this can help!
XOXO,
KC Cooper Sears

I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design, but lately have become fascinated by mechanized production and the homogenization of nearly every aspect of American life. This interest has led me to snack cookies, naturally.

The repetition, patterns, molds, and mass production of processed foods inform my crafts, but contrast with the hand-made and individualized nature of each item in my etsy.com shop

Every cookie tells a story, whether of nostalgic childhood memories of animal cookies with sprinkles, sunny days picnicking in the park with packs of teddy grahams, or your toddler munching on gold fish. My little charms are lovingly detailed reproductions of icons intrinsic to American culture. 

I grew up in rural Colorado and learned to love traveling from my mom. Each summer from the time I was 8 until I turned 15 my mom my brother and I spent 4 or 5 weeks of every summer traversing North America. We rode trains from Colorado across the Midwest and down the East Coast, as well as up and down the West Coast. We saw countless miles of Canada, visited most of the major cities in the USA, and cruised the Alaskan Islands by boat. When I was older, I traveled to Germany and Austria, and then studied for a quarter in Lacoste, France with the SCAD program, after which I traveled in Spain and Portugal, and most recently visited Ireland. Throughout my travels I have frequented museums, art galleries, markets and gathering places. I love to watch people and to experience another point of view.

Traveling has taught me to be adaptable and to soak in knowledge. My new home in Santa Cruz, California has proved to be a new adventure of its own, and is one I wouldn't miss for the world.
