Info on Luvocracy.

Depending upon your product, Polyvore.com is also a good soc media site.

It's a cross between Wanelo and Pinterest. It can be addictive so enter with care!

Also, Pinterest has something called "rich pins" which adds a buy feature. It appears a little complicated to set up but I do plan on checking out. If anyone is using it would love to hear about it.

Pinterest tip-

If you pinned an item that is sold/removed from your store go edit the link and redirect the pin. If you dont it leads to a general Etsy page, you are linked there but so are your competitors.

Lead the pin back to your main shop page. :)
