Did you know that Etsy now allows you to advertise your upcoming events! I'll admit, this might not be a new feature, but I just found it the other day and I haven't heard much talk about it, so I thought I'd share my finding with you today.
If you go to Etsy's new Home Page (boy do I miss the old home page), about half way down the page you will see Shop In-Person.
From there, you will see all the events for the area you select. And you will see a blue box that says Create an Event.
From there you just enter your information and click Submit at the bottom.
Etsy creates the event for you and anyone in your area (I'm unsure of the mileage radius) will see your event. Just one more way to spread the word!
Have you used the Shop In-Person link before?
Clever feature, never heard of it before. How are things with the corner rounder?
ReplyDeleteoh! need to check that out. thanks for letting us know
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried if for myself, but I've seen it in other shops! Cool feature :)
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool! Not sure I want to let unknown people know where I'm at though. Yep, I'm a scaredy cat!
ReplyDeleteThey have been doing this for a while, at least on my screen. I know Etsy was testing different features for different folks, so it's possible that it hasn't shown up for everyone until recently. Anyway, thank you for this post because you reminded me that I need to add a show!! :)
ReplyDeleteEtsy also has a new credit card reader, called Sell on Etsy reader (it goes along with the app). You can sell in person, right from your listings - as well as other inventory you have on hand. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThe last time I went to a show I tried to find it to display it in my shop, but the particular show didn't exist (according to Etsy). I don't remember seeing a create an event button - maybe that's new since then. I'll have to check it out if I do another show!
ReplyDeleteWhaaaaat! I totally missed this! Thanks for sharing because now I can go make sure the three shows I'm doing are on there.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I would be totally using this feature if I was doing shows!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this either! This is a cool feature and what a great way to get to know your local Etesians and show your support by visiting their booths. I love this!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed this today, too - for the first time!
ReplyDeleteMy shop has been stagnant for so long, and I'm not creating much to sell these days, but it was exciting to see a shop I was browsing in & the venues where they'd be appearing in person.
I see it before and I actually checked it out with the local events. Unfortunately ( for me) they only listing craft shows and markets with more craft oriented items. I wish they have an art show posted there for artists. But I know it is a great addition and I think they started it doing last year.
