MAY 2025 Daily Listing Challenge and Promotion Thread

Welcome to the MAY 2025 Daily Listing Challenge and Promotion Thread.

This is a challenge thread which means that as well as listing and posting your item to the thread you must 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 @quaverlyric 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.

Please remember to do your bit (clicking on everyone’s items and :heart:ing them) missing the odd day or two is fine (we all have busy lives) but please do not ‘post and run’

Any questions at all, please ask. We are a friendly bunch and someone will be able to help.

Wishing everyone a busy and successful month

Good morning. Just popping in to wish you all a good start to the month. As I have got the art trail starting on Saturday I won’t be joining in the thread until later in the month, will be shutting up shop this evening. I am all packed and ready - just got to fit it all in the car!!

I have got an emergency shift at the gallery this morning - both people on duty called last minute to say they couldn’t do it.

Have fun

Morning everyone,

Thanks to Corinna @quaverlyric for looking after us this month.

Last month was a bit of a washout for me, the minute tthe search engine changed, zero sales. Historically April is a good month for me, but not this year. Anyway, I have built my stock up again and I am going to take part in this months challenge.

I had that once Brenda - in the summer as well. The fault was a valve between the hot water system and the heating system. Couldn’t get a plumber out straight away, so we coped by turning our whole system off by the electrical switch. No hot water of course, but we managed.

It was so very hot here in Kirrie yesterday but it’s now a more manageable 11 degrees :joy:

Good morning everyone and happy 1st of May. This year has flown by so far.

Thank you again for looking after us last month Caroline @Caroleecrafts and for taking up the reins this month Corinna @quaverlyric .

Good luck with the art trail Roz @OrchardFelts !

I hope your heating gets sorted soon Brenda, I can’t get to sleep at the moment without having all the windows open and a fan on as it’s too hot. I’m having a hot flush just thinking about your heating being on. :hot_face: You’d think I would be better able to handle the heat since I grew up in Gibraltar :joy:.

Welcome to the challenge Angie @AlbionEnchantments . The squirrel sun catcher is beautiful.

My listing today is a mini plant pot, perfect for a small succulent.

Good morning all. Happy May
I’m going to be missing for a couple of weeks as we are taking advantage of the weather and going away. Not sure where but I think we will just get in the car and drive and see where we end up
