Treasury - let's make it count!

Now that our shops are starting to benefit from the changes we make due to great critiques each week, let's get noticed! There's no point in having a beautiful shop and no visitors, right? A great way to get seen is through treasuries. We've already started in the treasuries thread, now we can push it a little bit further. I'm combing through all the treasury info, especially looking at those who make front page, because I would love to see a critique-a-week treasury there.

First of all - treasury content: The key is diversity as well as a good unified theme. Let everyone know that they've been treasured with a personal message. It is considered bad form to treasure yourself, but of course the benefit of making a great treasury is all yours!
Tag, tag, tag! And do include our team name too. There's a list of trending tags on the treasuries page, so do have a look and add as many as possible.
Use that heart button! Then spread the love through every applicable social media site that you sign up to. Facebook, Twitter, Kaboodle, Wanelo... Are there more? And blog - share the love, it will come back to you. We can all boost each other exponentially.
Feel free to add ideas to this - if there's a great social media site out there that you get views from, then let us know.
Comment on each treasury - hearts and comments affects the search relevancy and will make each item and shop easier to find.
I will continue adding to this thread - any ideas and advice I can find, and I'd like you to do the same.
Let's all work at getting a front page treasury!
Treasuries are to be posted on the Treasury thread as per usual. I look forward to seeing your next one!

Here's a keyword and tag article - not just for treasuries, you can use these suggestions in your shop too.

This is simple, free, and a great way to promote. You can link your Etsy shop to your facebook page.

Re: Treasury - let's make it count!

Let's make a requirement that team treasuries have to feature at least 4 to 6 members of this team. Do not feel obligated to make 100% team treasuries, although they are always appreciated and welcome. It is good to add items from shops that do not belong to the team. This will keep the treasuries fresh and interesting. It will also give our team some promotion.

Re: Treasury - let's make it count!

Another idea:
When I post a team treasury I try to heart the five treasuries above mine. This gives the treasury and items within it some exposure.

Re: Treasury - let's make it count!

Ladies - all awesome and helpful ideas - thank you! Sorry Cathy, what do you mean when you say "heart the five treasuries above mine"? I'm probably missing the obvious but want to be sure I understand what you mean. Thanks!

Also, maybe there are some people who don't know about the benefits of "critique a week" and some of us can share with them in case they want to join?

Finally, is there a specific tag for our team?

Re: Treasury - let's make it count!

Sorry Joanne, I guess I wasn't too clear on the" heart" thing. Here is how some of the treasury teams explain it:

Click the heart (favorite) in the upper right corner of the treasury & watch it turn red!. That's all there is to it!
Make sure the heart is red before you move to the next treasury.

Hope that explains it better.
