Just a quick reminder for you, don’t forget to add your Instagram link to your profile page here and your Folksy shop link in your bio on Instagram. :blush:

Hi @petalspassions I’ve just had a look at your Instagram page, the link doesn’t work, if you have a look it should have a little icon on your page that says ‘edit profile’ or something like that, if you click on that you should see an option to add links, click on that and copy your link there, then hit save or done or whatever the option is, that should then make the link in your profile clickable so anyone can click on it and be transported straight to your Folksy shop.
Have a lovely weekend :blush:

Hi @PaintedHorseArt thank you so much for following this up for me. I mainly work on my laptop, but it did say only doable on mobile, so have just added through my mobile. Hope that works.
Thanks again marilyn

Today’s Folksy post includes a call out for father’s day ideas.

If you comment on the Facebook post you could include a link straight to one of your own items or someone else’s you’ve seen on Folksy that you think would be suitable.

Sorry Ive since deleted as 3 of the 4 items I chose had no Folksy links.

I’ve done a post about the upcoming bundles event
Instagram post
Facebook post

The past sales events have done well, so hopefully if this one gets enough mentions then we’ll get more people browsing the site and buying on that weekend.

Has anyone else got a post with one of their bundles? Or maybe even asking what bundles people would like to see.

Thank you for the reminder to get posting about this event! I have some bundles already listed but haven’t actually mentioned it anywhere yet! :woman_facepalming:t2:

You are a star Jennie, thank you so much. xxx

Your welcome :heart_eyes:

I don’t understand FB at all or I would have shared you there as well as Instagram :blush:

Thank you for sharing Lynne. It’s funny isn’t it because I’m the opposite. Comfortable with Facebook but not very good with Instagram. I think because I don’t use a smartphone there are some things which just pass me by.
