Description:

I love Etsy but sales have been really slow lately and I thought this might be a good way to jump start out sales and promote each other.

For this swap you will make 10 small items (something that shows off what kind of Etsy store you have) with info on your Etsy shop and send 5 items to each of two partners.

When they have a sale in their Etsy store they will include your sample piece with their item to their customer. The Etsy buyer wins cause they can get some cool extras in their package and we win cause we might get some extra sales with the advertising!

Also please post your Etsy store here in the discussion section and tell a little about your store. Who knows you may have just what someone else here is looking for!

Here are the rules:

A rating of at least 4.9

You have sent out 10 swaps and no recent no sends. If you're having trouble with a swap but can explain - please contact me.

You will have Two swap partners. and will send 5 or more items to each partner

This swap is INTERNATIONAL

It's very easy to open an Etsy store--you can get yours up and running today! (assuming you already have a PayPal account set up; but if not, it just takes a few days longer!)

Very cool Etsy stores everyone! Here are some ideas for some inexpensive samples

Magnets (you can even get magnet paper that will run through printers)

Artist Trading cards

small pendants or earrings on a card that tells about you

Notecards

prints

gift tags

The samples don't have to be large or cost a lot and can all be the same if you like. They just need to be something that shows off what you like to do :)

Promotional swaps are a very good idea to do on a regular basis.

I am an admin on EtsysDarkTeam and I run the promotional swaps once a month. I have gotten other people sales and they have done the same for me, just by simply sending off promotional items. It does work, its just if you don't mention to the seller that you came along by way of promo, you won't know!

I suggest putting a message on your promos that reads something like, 'Mention this Promo Code...ETC and get an extra free item'. This way, you'll know if the promotional items are working!!! For the freebie, you could send something small;)

My shop is Halloween all year round, with some non spooky items too!

We should do these promotional swaps much more often! I'm happy to pass out everyones stuffs! I do get quite a few sales so if you guys want to send more than 5, please feel free to do so!

Come by for a spell ;)

This is an amazing idea. Courticus.etsy.com Jewelry and clothing with a social conscience. I'm working on kits lately as well and quilts. It's a bit eclectic, but what good thing isn't ;)

I think i have only done 8 swaps -- i took some time off because even though I was sending stuff, I was getting frustrated because out of 8, I had three swaps that I got NOTHING. Anyway, I would LOVE to be involved if you will have me. Let me know. My shop is buzzbuzzbee.etsy.com -- I am a screenprinter and I also make some jewelry.

I would love to participate. I missed out on the last round.
I just opened my Etsy shop a few days ago. I have gotten some views, but no sales so far and I have been looking for a good way to promote my shop. This seems to be a fun way of doing it.

My shop is:

Blueberry Junky

I have things for babies and toddlers, really cool personalized blankets.
I am still in the process of listing the stuff I have. Check it out and if you know any one with a little one who may be interested, please, help me spread the word.

PS: To help you promote your shop, I'll be adding all of you who enter this swap to my Favorites. Cheers!!
