Folksy 365 Daily Listing and Group Promotion Thread - OCTOBER 2023

Welcome to the October 2023 Challenge Thread

I’m Max from @MaxPringJewellery, and I will be hosting the October thread :ghost::jack_o_lantern:.

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.

Morning all

Thank you for looking after us this month Max @MaxPringJewellery.

Finally got round to starting making to sell but am sure that could fizzle out quite quickly. However….

Good morning and Happy October!
After a hellish week, a mooch around the city with my family has refreshed me somewhat and I have been pottering.

Today’s listing is this cute small pumpkin bunting. I already sold one set via other means. It would be perfect not just for Halloween but for Autumn decorating as well.

Today, I plan to mostly get my creativity flowing and working on a custom order.

Have a good Sunday.

Morning all,

Just dropping in to say ‘hello’

I’ve missed been here but really needed to step away. September turned out to be my best month since opening in January. I ended up keeping my plus account as I was able to take advantage of the business week offer.

Hope you all had a good September for sales and are getting ready for silly season.

I don’t have new item’s to share so I will lurk in the background.

Here’s a pic of last Saturday to remind us of the sunshine, it was very therapeutic to have an afternoon in the garden making

Morning all, bit of a grey day here, but it is dry!
I spent quite a few hours yesterday altering postage and absorbing some of the £7.35 special delivery into item prices, will see if it stops sales dead in their tracks or if it helps sales.

Thanks for taking up the reins Max @MaxPringJewellery

Morning everyone

Thanks for looking after us this month Max @MaxPringJewellery and for last month Caroline @Caroleecrafts

Have had an eventful weekend so far - my poor father-in-law rolled his tractor yesterday whilst hedgetrimming on his farm which was really nasty but luckily he seems to have nine lives and has come away relatively unscathed. So heres a quick post before we head back to hospital to see him. Will be back later to catch up with the loving.

My listing for today

Have a relaxing day all

A very dull start to October, hopefully it’ll brighten up later.

Thank you to Max @MaxPringJewellery for looking after us this month and to Caroline @Caroleecrafts for September. I’m hoping for a good month for everybody :crossed_fingers:t3:

Oh my goodness Wendy @CraftyNature, I hope your father in law is ok, sounds like he was very lucky.
