Welcome to the August 2024 Daily Listing Challenge and Promotion Thread.
I’m Anna from Fififoxi, and I’ll be hosting the August thread. Many thanks to Sue Trevor from @SueTrevor for looking after us so well during July
It is a CHALLENGE thread which means that after listing you must visit ALL the other participants shops via their daily link AND ‘
’ that listing in the shop .
The rules are outlined below. It takes a bit of time but it is a great way to get valuable extra exposure for your shop and the support of other folksy folks. There will be plenty of friendly thread regulars who’ll help you with any difficulties and we do have a lot of fun and laughs along the way.
Firstly click on each participants ‘item link’ for that day - this will take you to the listing in their shop. Then click on the just underneath price. Hearting the item will give it a brief appearance on the Folksy front page - so the item has more of a chance of getting seen (this is the main rule for joining in ).
Next share your item for the day on this thread so everyone can it for you. To do this go to the item in your shop and copy its URL at the top of the page (the line beginning with https: // folksy. com / items/). Then return to this thread, hit the blue reply button at the very bottom of this page. Next add your message and paste the link you copied - leave a space between your message and the link so it brings up a thumbnail of your item (Items can be a new listing or an existing/re-list, we don’t mind as long as it’s a different item each day).
You must be prepared to join in regularly throughout the month - missing the odd day or two is fine and of course joining in for part month is fine too, we understand not everyone can join in every single day, but please do not ‘post and run’
It’s great If you can promote a few others as well by tweeting or pinning items from the thread (just occasionally pick some items if you can) or you can create a #FolksyFriday collage and share it far and wide.
Let me know when you have a Folksy sale so we can add it to the tally, celebrate and happy dance with you.
I hope we all have a great August.
It’s well worth checking out the ‘home page themes’ - they can be found on your dashboard under ‘improve your shop’ - use the tags and increase your chances of inclusion in gifts guides etc.
