Folksy 365 Daily Listing and Group Promotion Thread November 2023

All loved to here.

Glad to hear your news Helen @PocketfulCreations

A relist from me today simply because I like these but haven’t sold any yet! I have some fairs over the next couple of weeks so maybe they will catch someone’s eye, if not they’ll make an appearance next year!

I’m tring to rise above it and not become stressed by the situation.
I did however have to make three replacements owl-hedgehog and a mushroom man and send them recorded delivery yesterday so that the customer didn’t miss out.

Sounds like a nightmare @islamaymakes! Sorry you’ve had to go through all that. RM seems to be getting worse by the year.

Finally managed to catch up with all the loving, I’m afraid I haven’t had time to absorb all the news.

Sunday’s Christmas fair was abysmal (for me). Within 10 minutes I knew it was the wrong place for me. It was organised by the local football club which was why I did it, it’s really close, I could have walked if I hadn’t had to carry stock. It was soon clear that advertising had pretty much been limited to members, friends, and family of the club. And without being too judgmental (or maybe I am :woman_shrugging:) they were obviously not the type to have much interest in handmade. ‘Labels’ seemed to be more their thing, there was a 12/13 year old girl wearing a ‘Dryrobe’ and slides, lots of designer type jackets and a young couple of about 15/16 wearing matching pyjama bottoms which I assume is a new trend as they’re not the first youngsters I’ve seen wearing them. My stall was clearly wearing its cloak of invisibility as 99% of the people there walked past without so much as a glance in my direction. Half an hour in I said to my husband “ if I suggest doing one of these again, slap me”. 3 long hours later, he said “ if you suggest doing one again I will slap you” :joy:. Apart from a couple of bits that my Family bought, I sold one coin purse! I’ll stick to online selling in future.

Sorry that I have been off grid.
I have had a rough few days.

I will go back and favourite listings now.
Sharing a relist.

I’d love these angels. Perfect to use as gift tags that keep on giving year after year, secret Santa gifts and more.

Evening everyone, it’s been one of those days so only just had the chance to catch up with everything.

The saga of the package sounds like a nightmare Susie @islamaymakes, I hope they find it and you get it all sorted.

The craft fair sounds dreadful Linda @wildrosedesigns, what is it with pjs these days? I saw a young lady in pjs, dressing gown and slippers shopping with her child in Aldi the other day, it was lunch time too!

Another sale to report :blush:.

Here’s a quick list before tea!

Hi ?
Thank you for your lovely reply,and encouragement XX
I just find it very frustrating and can’t understand why I am not selling anything.
I opened my shop quite some time ago and sold a brooch straight away since that time zilch!
I have a few low-cost items that really I am not going to earn anything on after making and firing them in my kiln thats weeks of working on them .
I am hoping it’s just that my shop hasn’t had exposure and been seen thats my hope and not that people don’t like what I do.
I am going away as I said and will join 365 again on my return in March 2023.
Not sure how to do a link from IG to Folksy -I do put it on my posts

You can just stay in folksy for four months without paying the 7.50 for plus.
@articeramics
You may just make a sale or so during that time…
I have done so the last few years, just to pay one month and updating my items and listing more. Especially handy if you make just a few sales a year, like I have.
I hope this helps

Evening

Sorry I have not posted recently, I have been busy with parchment commissions, BUT I have visited daily and loved everyone, sorry if I have missed anyone though.

So glad pooch is Ok Lynn @erkinwald , hope you got 40 winks with legs up lol

Well done on the sales, it took me a while too to get my first sale, but all good since, although as everyone says, this year has been the slowest

So just a relist then I will get back to my commissions.

I was getting the 400 bad request error about a month ago and couldn’t get rid of it by clearing my cache and history and in the end I changed my browser (I was using chrome when I had the problem) and that seemed to do the trick. It drove me crazy at the time so I feel your pain and hope you manage to get it sorted. xx

This happens to me if I do certain actions, for instance if I use the ‘new’ shopkeeping feature which I have been doing recently, I can’t seem to get anywhere afterwards. I have to turn my tablet off and on again and then it seems to reset itself. You may of course be using a computer which you close after every use, but it may be worth closing the tabs and reopening them when you start it up again. It’s very frustrating.
