Daily Listing Challenge and Group Promotion Thread - September 24

Welcome to the September 2024 Daily Listing Challenge and Promotion Thread.

I am Liz from Patchwork Packages and I will be hosting the September thread. Many thanks to Anna @Fififoxi for looking after us beautifully during August.

This is a challenge thread which means that as well as listing and posting your item to the thread you must visit all the other participant shops via their daily link AND :heart: that listing in their shop.

It does take a little time each day but it is well worth it because everyone who joins gets the benefit.

HOW TO TAKE PART (AND THE RULES)

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.

On the Challenge thread click on the links for everyone’s posted item, this will take you to the item in their shop, and hit the items :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 :sunglasses:)

If you have time you can also promote fellow listers outside of Folksy by pinning on Pinterest, making a Folksy Friday Board, posting on Facebook or Instagram etc.

If you have a Folksy sale while taking part in the Challenge thread post a message on the thread so we can all celebrate and have a happy dance with you.

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

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.

Please remember to do your bit (clicking on everyone’s items and :heart:ing them) missing the odd day or two is fine (we all have busy lives) but please do not ‘post and run’

Here is to a great September (August was the best month so far this year for sales).

October Alison @FluffStuffCrafts

Morning everyone,

Thanks for hosting us this month Liz @PatchworkPackages :smiley:
Last month was my second best month of the year, one more sale might have made it the best! But that means I have a larger than usual folksy bill :sleepy:

Good morning all - going to try and join in for the month although I have got a couple of short trips away so may have to shut down for that.
I think I may have fallen out of love with felting a bit - I don’t seem to have the desire to make any of my larger pieces at the moment, the ones I have made have seemed a chore. Possibly because they are not selling very well in the current climate. I am mainly making up smaller (cheaper) items that only require a couple of hours a day of my time as that seems to be all I can offer at the moment - I used to spend all day, sometimes 12hrs at a time, at the workbench but its just not happening atm.

Anyway - here’s todays listing

Morning all.
Well I’m glad to be back, hopefully I’ll last the month. It looks as though things are back on an even keel, other than Charlie greyhound having to have some major dental work done on Wednesday.
Hope everyone is keeping well and you’ve all had lots of sales.
A wee make up bag from me today.

Morning all, will be back later with a listing - for now I’m enjoying a little September sunshine :sunny:

Lovely to see you back Lynn @erkinwald - weirdly I woke up this morning and thought we hadn’t seen you on here for a long time. Isn’t that strange. It might have been because I found a piece of fabric I’d bought from you when I was clearing a shelf yesterday.

… well I managed to list my item using my phone, but had to go back to the computer to put the link on here… does anyone know how to get a link to an item in their shop to put it on this thread?
