We’re looking for video content to promote our latest event! 
On the 3rd and 4th of June we will be hosting a free shopping event called ‘Beautiful Bundles’, where buyers can buy gift sets, curated selections, highlights from a new collection, bestsellers, lucky dip bags and more from our wonderful sellers! Please note that we are asking Folksy Plus members for content - all Folksy sellers are welcome to list ‘beautiful bundles’ in their Folksy shops but as this is a (free!) event designed for Folksy Plus sellers as part of the membership package, we will only be promoting Folksy Plus members across our social media channels. We will be using the videos you send us to create short reels for Instagram and TikTok.
You can read more about the event here: Beautiful Bundles' shopping event – 3 & 4 June | Folksy Blog

Content ideas:
- Your making process
- Showing what items are included in your bundles
- Packaging your bundles
- Using what’s in your bundles
Video requirements:
- Filmed vertically
- 7-15 seconds long
- Filmed with natural lighting
- No blurry videos
- No filters, text on video, music added or any editing
Another idea that we would love to share on our socials would be to film yourself talking about what is in your bundles and showing them off! If you’re interested in doing this, please let us know in this thread and we will send you the specific video requirements. We’re open to other ideas for content, these are just a few that we have. We’re looking forward to seeing your videos!
Please send your videos to us community@folksy.co.uk or add them to a Dropbox/Google Drive and share them with us at that address.
