Folksy 365 - Daily Listing and Group Promotion Thread - October 2022

Afternoon all.

Thanks for taking up the reins again Max @MaxPringJewellery
Lovely to see you back Valerie @jenniesgems

Just a relist today - not a good start to a new month but I still have a load of new un-photographed makes and a further load of photos that need editing - plus all the listings to write. I wish there were more hours in the day :see_no_evil:

Hello from a very windy Bolton! I’ve risked putting my washing out - hoping the wind dries it before any more rain comes! Thank you for looking after us again Max @MaxPringJewellery

Afternoon all,
Thank you Max @MaxPringJewellery for running September’s thread, and continuing with October.
Welcome back Lorraine @LilacDaisy, and to all newcomers.
The first day of October started with some rain, but now there is brilliant sunshine and blue skies.
I love those chainmail earrings, Valerie @jenniesgems.
New earrings today:

Thank you for looking after us last month and this, Max @MaxPringJewellery

We’ve had bad storms since yesterday. The wee bridge over our stream was underwater at one point, thankfully the water level’s dropped since.

I had a really mad moment and created this card yesterday.

All loved on both threads to here. Thank you for doing a double shift, Max @MaxPringJewellery X I hope you’re feeling much better.
Andrea @GrannysHandknits I love your kitchen.
I have another new one today, though this really can’t last. I have much too much stock already! And my triple customer who was having difficulty paying has never responded to my emails, so sadly I have had to delete her order. :cry:

I have just taken the plunge and upgraded my shop to a Plus shop, fingers crossed it will be successful. My listing for today is a Fabric Advent Calendar:

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Evening all, I’m swithering whether to apply for the Folksy Online Market or not, anyone else here doing it, done it before? Any good? I have another market that weekend so I’m worried about stretching myself too thin as well as the ongoing Royal Mail strikes towards Christmas too!

Back again after getting bogged down with resuming posting after we got back from our Bavarian jaunt. Not sure if it will last, we have plans to be away again this month but I’m hoping to have plans to cope with keeping on listing and hitting the ground running when we get back.
Thank you @GlintBeads for including a piece of my work in your FF board last week. My plans include a FF board. We shall see.
I have kept broadly up to speed with your trials and triumphs. Welcome back @jenniesgems, sorry to hear your bad news @NOfkantsCurios, and your plans to deal with it. Thanks to @MaxPringJewellery for stepping back in and taking us on into October.
Sadly, just now I have relists, made with the objective of introducing some variety in the display of the shop.

Knock me down with a feather, I’ve had a sale! Thanks for doing this again Max @MaxPringJewellery, especially when you have so much on. Hope you’re feeling better x
Have a great month everyone. :hugs: :hugs:
Welcome back Valerie @jenniesgems & Lorraine @LilacDaisy . Hello Daisy @DaisyAntingham , good luck Katherine @MarkatDesigns , it looks great.
Hope the rest of your birthday was as lovely as that cake Sue @SueTrevor. Looking at your brooches, have you ever considered selling your lovely work just as appliquƩ patches? with everyone into make do and mend again, posh patches are quite the thing.

Love your earrings Yvonne @JewelleryMori & great photos, are the sparklies clever lighting or did you enhance?

I’ve done the Folksy one and a couple of others, it did up my traffic a bit for a while but no extra sales. Some people have had a few sales this way but I don’t know if it’s because they already have a following and people jump on the fair discount, like everything it’s all a bit unknown at the moment and there are so many online markets that appeared during lockdown. You could do really well, I think it helps if you are prepared to do some live time on IG.
