Folksy 365 Daily Listing and Group Promotion Thread - AUGUST 2023

Welcome to the August 2023 Challenge Thread

I’m Nikki from GlintBeads, and I will be hosting the August thread.

The rules are outlined below, but the thread regulars will help you with any difficulties - just ask!

  • Share your item for the day on this thread. To do this choose your item from your shop, copy the URL at the top of the page, come onto this thread and hit the blue reply button at the very bottom of the page bottom then add some text and paste your link (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)
  • Click on all of the links for everone elses items to take you to their shop and hit the :heart: - this gives the item a brief appearance on the front page - so more chance of getting seen ( this is the main rule for joining in :slight_smile: ) there is a picture of what to do below.
  • You must be prepared to join in regularly throughout the month - missing the odd day is fine and of course joining in for part month is fine also, we understand not everyone can be here every single day, but please do not ‘post and run’ .
  • If you can promote others as well e.g. tweet, re-tweet or pin (this doesn’t have to be everyone on the thread just pick a few a day if you can) or create a #FolksyFriday collage
  • Let me know when you have a Folksy sale, so we can celebrate and happy dance with you.

September - Caroline @Caroleecrafts

Morning all. Than, you for looking after us this month Nikki @GlintBeads

Dining the new vet for a home visit this morning, Shiloh is not getting better and may need some anti inflammatory meds.Doubt they will make it today but may suggest something for the pain in the meantime,
Needless to say Lee and I are worried as have been with him 24/7 since we took possession of him at 9 weeks.

A new listing for August

Here’s to a good month…
At least the sun’s shining :crossed_fingers:
Thanks to everyone for your kindness, unfortunately it would appear that as Instagram have such a poor support system in place my account is lost & I will probably have to start again! Not a happy prospect, particularly as I am so useless at social media.
It’s so frustrating when the account is just sitting there, no changes have been made & so far the hackers haven’t used it for anything, but never mind… Just a reminder to make sure all your accounts are extra secure to avoid the headache!!
Moving forward, here’s today’s listing… good health & lots of sales for everyone for August x
New Home Card - Home Sweet Home - Folksy,

One of my paintings is included in the exhibition but the link to my shop doesn’t work…it just gives a message saying that the page doesn’t exist…( that will help a lot with any sales !!)
I have emailed admin for help.

Good morning.
Thanks Sue @SueTrevor for hosting last months thread - sorry I drew a blank on sales so couldn’t contribute but at least I saved you a bit of dancing!! … and thanks Nikki @GlintBeads for this month.
Thinking of you and Shiloh Caroline @Caroleecrafts - hope he improves soon
Was lucky enough to have one of my items included in the exhibition - a bit surprised because the photo is the greatest (done in a bit of a rush) but happy. Congrats to all in both the exhibition and the fringe :slight_smile:
I believe the summer is coming towards the end of next week @TheBeadHare
