I have sent feedback too, so hopefully it will be a good outcome if many of us express opinions :slightly_smiling_face:

Popping on here to have a quick whinge. Parcel is going to be late going out because sodding Royal Mail’s label machine isn’t working. They’ve just knocked on the door and told me to rebook it for tomorrow or take it to the post office myself, which I physically can’t, which I why I booked collection. Fuming :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

Hi,
I was thinking about joining in to try and promote my shop but I have no idea how to do it, as I’m a tech dunce so I hardly ever join in any Folksy promotions as I struggle to do it! Where do I start? :grinning_face:

Hello,

Happy birthday Roz @OrchardFelts and happy folksyversary corinna @quaverlyric

Thinking of those with family worries and sending hugs. Sorry things are so full on at the moment Joss @XStitcherJoss

Good luck at your market little1 @Little1Leather

I’m not keen on the only 1 left either as most things I make are one-off. I will also leave feedback.

Eldest got his grade through this morning so we can now officially celebrate him graduating :grinning_face:

Welcome to the group Iwona @iwonakozielglass
Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Sorry, thread hogging today. Is there a way to message customers to let them know there has been a delay? I’m working on very little sleep and I’m absolutely furious right now.

I’m still within the 5 working days listed as long as it goes tomorrow, but I’ve now lost faith in Royal Mail. If their printer isn’t working tomorrow, I’ll upgrade the postage and get hubby to take it to the post office himself, but he’s working 8am-6pm tomorrow.

If you go to your orders, under the customer’s name and address there is the e-mail address they used when buying the item. Just send them a quick message and explain, I’m sure they won’t be too concerned by 1 day, especially as it’s beyond your control.

Iwona @iwonakozielglass am I invisible? You didn’t love yesterdays or todays work of mine. Its pretty bright and hard to miss but you have.

Sending hugs Joss @XStitcherJoss

I hate the new red additions to our pages. Everything I make is a one off, but I also hate the pink and red message at the top too about discovering unique and original art!

Yep me too, it is very distracting, and the colour is very random,
Every coloured bit on the screen is different, jars with me.

I agree Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery and Sue @Susieshackletontextiles just looks cluttered

Hi Sue Trevor, I’m not sure why I miss your post?! I have only just joined in yesterday so if I missed someone, it’s not on purpose.

Hi Gillian @mayberry - welcome to the daily listing thread. If you scroll up to the very first post on this thread, it will tell you all the rules to join in with the daily listing promotion.

Basically, you need to try and list or promote one new listing a day and then show us on this thread. We will then all love your item and then you need to go to our item in our shop that we’ve shown on that day and love it too (by clicking the heart next to it in our actual shops - not just on this thread) It’s a good way of getting your item shown on the Folksy front page for a little while.
Good Luck x

Iwona @iwonakozielglass - I still miss some posts by accident when they don’t automatically show up. If you have a tab open with this thread all day, you need to refresh each time you come back to it or you can miss posts. It looks like you’ve got all the new posts in front of you but sometimes when you refresh, more pop up in between!

I have just emailed support with my thoughts on the new feature.
When I sell one of my items I sometimes have more materials and will make another one, so ā€˜only 1 left’ or ā€˜only 1 available’ feels deceptive.
Like others, I feel the banner is the wrong colour

Also, I am unable to be on chat all day due to other responsibilities. I thought I’ve liked every single work that appeared in the morning. But if posts appear later, I’ll pick them up whenever I can. Im happy to receive friendly feedback on how other people navigate the thread likes that ensures no one is missed?
