Hello everyone!

(This Swap is International)

Regional USA Swap @ http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/44716

It's that time of year where every shop owner wonders how they are going to get the word out about their shop because they know that if someone at least saw their work that they would love it!

Well, I had an idea that we could do a shop swap and blog! Basically this is where you send your partner something from your shop, along with some information about it, and they in turn blog about the experience!

So this is how it works...

{Shop Swap Package}

-Please include at LEAST one product sample or item from your shop There will be no value limit, but please keep in mind that the goal is to make your shop look as wonderful as you know it is! (you know your shop best so please use your own judgment)

-Include a note with the following information (for the blog post)

  • Online Shop Address

  • Blog Address

  • Facebook Fan page url (Optional)

  • A bit about yourself

  • What made you start your buisness

  • What you plan to accomplish with your buisness

  • What you get most out of having your own buisness

  • Your favorite independently owned online shop

  • Email address (so your partner can let you know when the blog post is up)

  • Any upcoming shop promotions (Optional)

Everything else is left to your discretion. A few ideas of what you could possibly include.... promotional button or magnet, buisness cards (maybe more than one so they can give them to friends who may be interested), a discount, you could even offer to host a giveaway on their blog!!

GET CREATIVE! We all know you are :D

{ Blog It! }

After receiving the package from your swap partners, take the information used from their interview notes to make a blog post.

Try to include pictures of your package before and after opened!

Make their shop look as good as you would like yours to. And, please do two separate posts for each partner. We already share so much, let's not share this :)

Once again, be creative and have fun!!!

{Restrictions}

You must have...

  • 4.5 average

  • No 1's or "No Sends" in the past 4 Months

Newbies are welcome! But please understand that this is a reflection on your shop as well as on you. Please maintain your shops integrity :)

With that said, I will angel swaps, but I'm confident there will be no need :)

Also, if anyone wants to volunteer to be a possible angel please contact me.

You have 30 days to send out this swap after sign-up is closed. If you are having any trouble after this point please let someone know so we can help!

Have Fun!!!

That sounds funny. I will watch it till the date gets closer. Is it okay to have a shop like an Etsy shop? I still have no Etsy shop du to having no credit card. But I have a smiliar shop on Dawanda, a German Etsy-like platform. And it a good impulse to get a blog and really write something in it.

Of Course as long as your shop is online, and provides a product than you can participate, not matter if you have an Artfire Etsy, Dawanda, or Mintd ...etc.

(I don't have an etsy shop)
