Daily Listing And Promotion Challenge August 2026

Welcome to the August 2026 Daily Listing Challenge Thread.

The challenge is to list an item and then post it on this thread each day. Once you have done this, visit all the other participating shops for that day by clicking on their item link and then click the heart :heart:.

It does take a little time each day but it is well worth it because everyone who joins gets the benefit and the group is a lovely supportive place to be.

HOW TO TAKE PART (AND THE RULES)

  1. Post your item for the day to the Challenge thread by copying and pasting the item URL from your Folksy Shop (don’t worry if you are not sure when you start just ask and someone will help). You can post a newly listed item or something already in your shop it does not matter.

  2. On the Challenge thread click on each of the links for everyone’s posted item for that day. This will take you to the item in their shop, and then click on the heart for the item :heart: - this gives the listing a brief appearance on the Folksy front page under ‘Popular Right Now’ (this is the main rule for taking part in the Challenge)

The idea is we all do the same for everyone on the thread which gives us all an extra boost, along with virtual hugs and support from everyone in this lovely community.

If you have time you can also promote fellow daily listers outside of Folksy, such as making a Folksy Friday Board, posting on Facebook or Instagram etc. (Though this isn’t essential, every little helps!)

Don’t worry if you don’t have time for extra promotion yourself, but you can help by liking/commenting on other peoples Folksy Friday boards and other promotion posts on social media.

If you have a Folksy sale while taking part in the Challenge thread post a message on the thread and tag me, Nikki, @GlintBeads so we can all celebrate and have a happy dance with you. :woman_dancing:

I will keep a tally of sales during the month and will regularly post about these.

Any questions at all, please ask. Good luck everyone and lets hope the sales fairy will bring lots of sales to all of us x :woman_dancing:x

Good morning everyone, I’d like to share this tote bag in such a vibrant pink. I love doing machine applique or embroidery and I like the way the grey fabric depicts the elephant skin. Hope August is a good month for you all. Mel

Good morning all, it’s good to be back with you.
Thank you for looking after us this month Nikki :grin:.

When I first read your post Sharon @OhhhWhatAYarn I thought you said you were waiting for a yam order, I was intrigued to know what you were going to make :joy:. I don’t think I’m quite awake yet!

I’m also taking part in the Market of Kindness so I’ll see you there.

I’ve been busy working on new things over the last month, here’s the first.

My card for today, with a cute bear holding a slice of watermelon. I’m of an age that ‘I carried a watermelon!’ has to be said :grin:

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning all and “a pinch and a punch for the first of the month”. I am doing the likes for today with Oswestry Jewels. I would just like to explain to any new comers that I have two shops and the regulars here have said that as it takes a very long time to list my items every day for both shops on the social media sites I use and here that it would be OK for me to list from both shops here but to just do the likes from one shop a day so I do the shops on alternate days.

Thank you for trying to keep us inorder this month Niki @GlintBeads and thank you for last month Eszter @hedgerowtales

Good morning everyone :grinning_face:

Hope it’s OK if I join in again this month? I’ve missed you lot! It’s a bit tricky now that I work here but if I’m posting as my Dottery Pottery account, I’ll only be talking about my own things!

Life is still very hectic - Mum is now in late stage dementia. About 3 months ago, they only gave her 24hrs to live but then she had some kind of miraculous upturn and started talking and acting more like her old self, walking with a wheeler, enjoying time in the garden but in the last week, she has gone into a massive decline again, losing all mobility again and sleeping 80% of the time. It’s such a rollercoaster!

I hope to catch up with all your news.

My listing today is:
