Love your cute dog cards, especially the two in bandanas! One thing I would say is to make sure you use all your keyword tag space, and write plenty in your item descriptions. Include technical things like colours, card size, etc, but also include keyword phrases and terms that people might be searching by such as 'perfect birthday card for a dog lover'. It'll all help to get your shop found on the site! :)Sarah @ PhotoFairytaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240346436283813044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996169506779150810.post-51491335921417575372021-02-26T22:21:40.757+00:002021-02-26T22:21:40.757+00:00Hi Sarah

I've only just heard about Folksy and am starting to build up my shop - I've been on Etsy a while , but I really like the ethos of Folksy and would like to transfer fully to this platform. If you get a moment I'd be really grateful if you would pop into my shop and let me know what you think.

I too sadly only discovered Folksy after I committed to Etsy, but as a British maker and seller I am now uploading more and more onto my shop, as I build up stock. Have a look at my shop when you have some time. https://folksy.com/shops/gabriellaszekelygabriella szekelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419944729139360653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996169506779150810.post-21294452898198598032020-10-01T13:30:18.196+01:002020-10-01T13:30:18.196+01:00You're very welcome Marion - I've just bee...You're very welcome Marion - I've just been browsing your Folksy shop: absolutely love your hare candle snuffer, that's definitely going on my Christmas wish list!Sarah @ PhotoFairytaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240346436283813044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996169506779150810.post-77056122579584292602020-10-01T12:16:51.258+01:002020-10-01T12:16:51.258+01:00Hi Sarah, thanks for the invite to pop over, lovin...Hi Sarah, thanks for the invite to pop over, loving what you are doing. I too am transferring to Folksy, I hadn't heard of it until I was committed to Etsy and as I am in a vary rural location with slow Internet, I struggle to get enough posting done online. <br />I have returned to making after a 15 year break due to health and life issues so getting to know the friendly Folksy community is great, isolation is the norm for me, even before lockdown! <br />Every sale is a happy dance and I have been privileged to be a part of other people's happy dances too. I was commissioned by a lovely person with terminal illness to make something to leave as a memory, I didn't charge anything and knowing I was able to give to something so personal was incredible to me.<br />These online formats offer such great opportunities,I wish there had been Internet when I originally started out as a maker. However, <br />I am concerned to see the same issues creeping in as used to be the problem for me at craft fairs back in the 80s, too many people making up standard kits using only ready made parts, not genuine makes and/ or plagiarising the ideas of other makers or commercial images. There are some beautiful, original pieces of work that have been created incorporating commercial and up cycled items, I am referring to the obvious , just join it together and call I hand made. It saddens me that both Etsy and Folksy have allowed this to happen.<br />I'm all for as many people as they want taking up a hobby but it can impact on the buyers perception of 'handmade' and lead to unrealistic pricing pressures for those of us trying to run a business. <br />https://folksy.com/shops/WestcountryCreations<br /><br />Marions_Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000163284442619999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996169506779150810.post-50222256272390705062020-09-30T12:14:21.780+01:002020-09-30T12:14:21.780+01:00Thank you!
