Who would like to join in the June 2025 Daily Listing Challenge?

Showcase
1

I hope you are all enjoing the Bank Holiday, and the weather is kind wherever you are.

It’s almost the end of May, which means the June 2025’s Daily Listing and Group promotion CHALLENGE thread will soon start. It’s a great way to get a bit of extra Folksy exposure for your lovely listings. Would you like to join in?

It does take a few minutes each day but it’s well worth it because everyone who joins in gets the benefit of a moment in the spotlight on Folksy’s front page, as well as the support of a great network. And not forgetting the happy sales dancing and calorie free cake on the naughty step.

Taking part does require a bit of time and commitment, but it is really easy and the group is always willing to help if you get a little stuck.

RULES FOR TAKING PART

List your item for the day.

Click on all of the links for everyone else’s items GO TO THEIR SHOP and hit the items :heart: - this gives that listing a brief appearance on the front page - so more chance of getting seen (this is the main rule for joining in :slightly_smiling_face: )

If you’ve got the time then promote fellow listers outside of Folksy using social media e.g. feature them in a post or pin or do a Folksy Friday board for Instagram - any one of these if you can.

Let us know when you have a Folksy sale by tagging me in a reply, so we can celebrate and happy dance with you.

The idea is we all do the same for everyone on the thread which gives us all an extra boost, there’s also virtual hugs and support - we are a great community, supporting each other along the way!

You must be prepared to join in with the promotion (clicking each link on the thread WHICH TAKES YOU TO THE SHOP and then clicking on the white heart :white_heart: to turn it into a red :heart: this is a requirement of joining in)

Missing the odd day is fine and of course joining in for part of the month is fine too, we understand not everyone can be here every single day so just jump in and join from that day forwards (you don’t need to go back and :heart: all the earlier listings, you can just jump in and go forward from the day you join).

I’ll be hosting June’s challenge - I’ll put the actual challenge thread up on the 1st of the month, so look out for it. I look forward to seeing you there if you can join us.

Sharon - The Old Button

PS I have 2 Folksy shops and 2 accounts on here - I’ll be hosting the challenge in the @TheOldButton account, but I’ll also pick up from the other account @theoldbuttonsupplies too so don’t worry if you tag the wrong one.

I plan to. I’ve not been listing anything new for a while but I have been getting to the thread and adding love where needed. I’ve identified some pieces that I have not previously listed (not many), and I have plans for a new campaign of work, starting tomorrow with some new copper blanks that should make striking earrings.

Great so many people are joining in - either from the beginiing of the month or a little later. Good to see regulars and returners, and also new members too. :partying_face:

Stephanie @ceciliamary and Emma @emmasmythart - look forward to having you join us. The full intructions will be given in the first post on the 1st of June, and everyone in the group will help if you do get a bit stuck.

In terms of when to post Emma, it’s completely up to you. Some of us are early birds, others do it later in the day (and a few of us are much less organised and vary our timing each day - who me! :laughing:). So do it whenever it works for you.
As we all commit to hearting everyone’s items for the day even if they are posted after we do our own, they will all get enough :heart:s to briefly hit the front page “popular now” feature no matter when they were posted.
Everyone has a different method of keeping up with the hearting during the day - either dipping in and out to do a few at a time, or doing them all at once after the day job - so you can’t predict exactly when your item will hit the front page feature, but generally an earlier posting will mean an earlier feature, and vice versa. And of course a very late at night posting will feature the next day as most of the group won’t see it and heart it until then.
Hope this makes sense - but shout if not.
