What If One Simple Move Could Boost Your Shop Before the Holidays?
Hey ART team
You probably already know how wild the holiday season can get. The real magic happens before SEPTEMBER hits, and the smart moves we make now can mean more eyes, more love, and yes... more action in our shops.
That’s why we started the Reddit Art Team at:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheARTteam/
a new space just for us. It’s about building momentum together, amplifying what we’re already doing, and creating a ripple effect that helps everyone rise.
If you believe in mutual support, creative collaboration, and planting seeds now that bloom later, you’ll fit right in. And if you know another artist or maker who’d vibe with this, please invite them too. The more voices we have, the stronger our signal becomes. Let’s make this our best season yet.
See you there

OP10 months agoThe ART Party is on Reddit! Join us while Etsy Teams and Forums are closed!
Etsy has announced that starting October 15, our Team pages and Forums will go into read-only mode until at least October 23. That means no posting, no promo games, and no way to stay connected during that time. But this doesn’t have to be goodbye; it’s just the start of our next great chapter!
We’ve already built our new creative home on Reddit, and it’s buzzing with life! Artists are sharing their work, joining the games, making sales, and keeping the energy flowing. The setup is fresh, easy, and full of opportunities to boost your shop traffic and meet other makers.
Join us now:

Let’s make this move together and show the world that creativity always finds a way. The ART Team spirit is alive and thriving. See you on Reddit!

OP11 months agoTime is running out, ART Team!
Etsy just announced that our current community spaces will go into read-only mode starting October 15, and the new ART Team page will officially launch on Thursday, October 23. That means we have just a short window before all promo games and group activities stop completely.
But the good news is we’re already set up and thriving on Reddit! Our games are live, the energy is high, and artists are already boosting traffic, sales, and new connections. Let’s keep our community strong and active right through this transition.
Join us now before Etsy closes posting access:

Let’s make this move together and show how creative and unstoppable the ART Team really is!

Etsy is shutting down all promo games very soon — once they’re gone, they’re gone. But we don’t have to lose the momentum we’ve built together.
We’ve already moved everything over to Reddit, and the games are live and waiting for you right now. If you want to keep boosting your traffic, sales, and connections, you need to join us before Etsy pulls the plug.

OP1 year ago@GIApillow I'm glad that you're finding Reddit to be working well. And there is a bit of a learning curve. As well as some issues that are preventing some members from fully participating. Those issues will be resolved soon.
I'm working on some navigation improvements. Hopefully, those will be operational soon.
And I'm building a reporting system that will actually work, unlike here. So, I anticipate this will help a LOT!
Also, I've been getting many reports that traffic and sales have dramatically increased. Maybe this is a good thing?

OP1 year ago@AmySueCrafts We expect to hear some news next week. That's all I'm allowed to reveal at this time.

·1 year agoAlright, Reddit might be a good option — but am I the only one struggling to find the previous games to catch up?
And it seems like most players aren’t really going back to complete the older games either.
Hopefully, we’ll all adapt quickly!

·1 year agoAny more information on when the Etsy Team policy changes are supposed to be coming? I was talking with the captain of another one of my Teams where I volunteer, and she said she belongs to a Captain's Group but they hadn't heard anything about this (yet).

OP1 year agoSo happy that Reddit is working well for most of you. Still working out some of the kinks. And we will be testing other platforms and making other adjustments over time. We just want to make sure we have something available to us as we head into the holiday season. THANKS AGAIN!

·1 year agoThank you for all of your hard work and for preparing for the upcoming changes, Mike. I'm sure it will make it much easier to transition once the changes are in place and we'll be ahead of it all because of you and this wonderful team. I'm so grateful to be apart of it.

·1 year agoJust an opinion but it's really easy to start a Reddit account and I really like the format. I was very hesitant at first but it's really easy and I even like having all of the activities there in one place. Reddit makes it easy to click through too. From someone who was worried about this format I'm now loving it.
