July Daily Listing & Promotion Challenge Thread

Hello!

A warm welcome to the July 2025 Daily Listing and Promotion Challenge Thread.

The challenge is that you will list and post your item to this thread. You will then visit all the other participating 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 and the group is a lovely supportive place to be.

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)

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.

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 and tag me in @susanbettyart 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.

Any questions at all, please ask.

All the best, Susan (Susan Betty Art)

Good morning everyone, it’s good to be back :grin:.

Thank you Susan @SusanBettyArt for looking after us this month, I can’t wait to hear how Rover is getting on! Koko has been suffering with the heat and hasn’t really moved away from the fan, we have a cold coat for her which does mean she can have a short walk on grass, it works like a treat.

It’ll be good to catch up on everyone’s news.

Here’s my listing for today.

Good morning.
A fabulous day yesterday mainly spent doing admin in the morning and watching the tennis in the afternoon while making some unicorns!! I suspect today may well be a repeat as it really is too hot to sit outside. Didn’t even take Holly out for a walk until 9pm but had a lovely sunset walk across the fields then.

I have a few new things to share with you, most of them are awaiting photography but here’s one I did manage to get listed in time!!

Good Morning All

I’m happy to help with the challenge thread for July. I’m sure it’ll be a good one.

I’ve been feeling so anxious these past couple of weeks. I sent a painting to the USA mid-June and it took forever to get through customs. Then I got a message to say it had been seized by customs as prohibited goods. Apparently it’s not good enough to insert the code for ‘painting’. You have to specify size, title, show proof that I am the painter….who knew!?! Well, it finally arrived yesterday. Thank goodness he wasn’t a shouty customer! :joy:

Here’s my listing for today,

Morning all.
I was undecided about joining this month as my shop is groaning with stock, but as I was paying my bill, a sale came through, so I have taken it as a sign to continue.
Thanks for looking after us this month Susan @SusanBettyArt one for the tally please.

Morning everyone :slight_smile:

Thanks for looking after the thread this month Susan @SusanBettyArt x Oh no, glad your painting arrived in the end. I was thinking about opening my shipping back up for USA, Canada and Australia.

Aww, look at Holly having fun…too cute! Roz @OrchardFelts :heart:

Moving my Son out yesterday in this heat was no fun, I was absolutely exhausted last night! Got to go and pick Mum up in a minute then take her to her dementia club this afternoon - that’s another day of no work…..so frustrating!

My listing today is:
