Christmas Market 2023 & Last-minute shopping event in December

@SacredSoulArt It was sent out this morning around 8:10 to everyone on the buyer’s mailing list (not the seller newsletter, and it’s not related to the email subscriptions bit on dashboard either).

Your post this morning mentioning signing up to the buyer’s one was just minutes before the email was sent out, so if you signed up a little later it might be it was too late to receive it.

Goodness that front page into our exciting fair is very beige and uninviting … Can someone add some tinsel and fairy lights quickly please as I doubt any passing customer would realise they were supposed to click to open the door

PS : Honestly…I just opened the front page on my big screen desktop computer and I scrolled past… looked just like part of a site banner…

I was thinking the same myself Joy - the banner looks exceptionally unappealing! Why beige?

I have changed the order of items in my shop so there are some different ones today, but it’s not updated. I relisted an item from yesterday and that has moved to the first page of the market. Don’t know how often it refreshes?

@folksycontent I changed the order of my listings for the market yesterday but it’s still showing items prior to my reshuffle also I can now only see 2 of my listings, any idea why as I thought it was suppose to pick up the first 3 from the top of our shop page.

Ah same here, I changed mine yesterday and it has managed to delete one and the other two are from before i did the reshuffle

I have managed to add my pincushion now but it seems one of the other 2 has disappeared lol…gremlins at play I think, never mind maybe it will show up later if it takes time to update.

:laughing: :rofl: :joy: it’s ok @konyskiw I was a day in front, tho8ght it was Friday and it was only Thursday

Well, the banner may be beige but plenty of people seem to be finding their way to the fair - at any rate my stats for today have shown a big uptick and at least one of my featured items is getting plenty of views - I am keeping fingers crossed that somehow those views will convert into sales!

Just been having a look around and it’s great that so many people have taken part and absolutely no ‘clumping’ of shop listings due to the rule of 3!

I do wonder though whether this one should really have had some kind of filter available? I’m wondering how many people will look through all 19 pages and how many won’t look at all because they can’t narrow the parameters? It worked great for the exhibition because there weren’t so many pages and the whole idea there was to wander around and look at it all, but this feels different…

I have 4 or 5 tagged with Craftmas but only 1 showing up… I may have a look through the 19 pages again later to see if I can spot them after a reshuffle, if I have the stamina! :laughing:

@thecrimsonrabbit You have two currently on page 8 and one on page 12.
@Bearlescent I can see one on page 1 and one on page 6. It can take up to an hour for changes to show, but if it’s been longer than that maybe try deleting and retyping the tag.

I’ve just been through every page and there are loads of gorgeous creations but mine were not there. I’ve just been through my lstings and assume it was the capital C stopping them. I’ve changed them so hoping they appear soon

1 of my featured items already sold yesterday from the preview.

Yes, given the tremendous response from so many sellers, it would be nice to be able to search just the market listings. Something for @folksycontent to take on board for next year perhaps? I guess we can go to the main search and look for the ‘craftmas’ tag and then narrow it down, but that’s somewhat of a blunt instrument and I don’t know whether many buyers would bother to do that. Anyway by hook or by crook it’s bringing traffic to the site and to my shop, so I’m very grateful!

Thanks so much for taking the time to look Kim @konyskiw :two_hearts: I thought I was looking carefully, but clearly not!

Thanks Kym, I have tried changing one again, my kit was on page 6 with a letterbox gift this morning but has since disappeared …definately a gremlin

They are taking an inexplicable amount of time to move or even appear. I did a couple last night and only one in four actually worked. Very odd.

Yes i did the same didn’t realise the first 2 i had tagged had a capital C changed it to lower case and it worked so must be case sensitive, if you change it it may take a while for it to change
