Friendly Suggestion :)

Aloha All~I just wanted to put it out there for those of you who enjoy making treasuries that I personally find it very helpful if I am sent a convo with a link to the treasury.I can't always look through my circle and take the time to go and check out each one,but when someone convos me I almost always do.I am so grateful to have been featured in so many and really want to acknowledge and thank each wonderful curator.
Just my experience for what is worth!blessings to all :)

I completely agree with this! :)

[Former_Member]

I agree too :) sometimes I miss things in my circle..

To see which treasuries you've been featured in, when you're looking at a treasury, "treasury" shows up to the left of the search window. Then type in your shop name just like you have it, click search, and the treasuries you've been featured in will show up. I check it about once a week, and it's been really helpful.

I check my activity postings everyday to see what treasuries I've been featured in. I've sometimes sent convos to the featured sellers, but it tends to be time consuming for me.

[Former_Member]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I agree with you! :)

[AtelierNekozuki]

I've been sending convos and found that it's worked out quite well, seeing as how some of the sellers have also tweeted and liked it and put it on their blog! :)
I think it takes a bit extra time, but a lot of the time the seller takes some extra time, which means publicity for you in the long run. ^^

P.S. Thanks to all the sellers that do tweet/like/blog about their treasuries! :)

i agree, I feel like I even get more views on my treasuries when I do this.

THANK You for this tip - I just did that, and I was featured in way more treasuries than I realized! Yay!

[Former_Member]

I definitely get more treasury views when I convo the artists I've featured. I also like getting convo's to say I've been added to one, sometimes if I have lots of activity I won't trawl through all of it AND it just seems more friendly. I'm obviously more likely to tweet/blog it if I've seen it.

I think people rely on our activity feed to be notified of treasury's. But if I'm not in your activity circle How Do I Know?

[Former_Member]

I look at my activity/circle feed and unclick the "everyone" button at the top so it just shows my shops activity- that way all it shows is new shop and item favorites and treasuries my items have been featured in.
I like to get a convo too, and usually do, but this is a very easy way to view them and then go look and post, etc....

[Former_Member]

I always send out a convo when I make treasuries. I've been featured in 11 so far this morning and have received about 6 notices which I appreciate but I also know to check my circle tab for activity! Love to see everyone's creativeness.

[LittleShopofElleSee]

I have never done this, but perhaps it is time that I started. I have noticed that sometimes I have been featured in a treasury, but didn't know about it because it disappeared from my activity feed before I had the chance to see it. Thanks :)

[PatrisCorner]

I'm agree!

[Former_Member]

FabricVinyard - thanks so much. I never knew you could search that way and i just found a bunch of treasuries I didn't know I had been in. Great info!!

[BeljaysFelt]

Like others, my activity feed gets very busy. I have missed treasuries I'm in because I did not know I was in it. I think convos help promote the treasury and we all want people to see the effort we've put into making these beautiful collections.

[Former_Member]

I find treasuries by accident that I had no clue I was in. I really appreciate a note when in a treasury. When I've been sent a convo I take the time and favorite the treasury, put it on facebook and tweet about it. I didn't know you could search for your treasuries that's great info, Thanks Belva

[Former_Member]

I just took your advice to convo artists featured in my latest treasury. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. Looking forward to a good response. Thanks for the advice.

[SoulRole]

Thanks for pointing out that you can search your treasuries for those who were unaware.I have done that but as my shop grows I just don't have time to do that or look through my activity feed.If there is a convo I have to open it and am much more likely to go check it out.

[EraDansLherbe]

Agrees a mention should be said. But like thefabricvineyard said to find your items in a treasury is how I accidentally found all mine too. Gave a note of thanks to all.

Thanks! I just did this and found out I have been featured in 91 treasuries
(wowzer) Thank you for the tip!!!!

[Former_Member]

I completely agree! I do this for all treasuries that I create, and am surprised that more don't. All of a sudden I will see that I was featured in a treasury from a few days ago and am SO grateful, but wish I could have helped promote it! It is a win win for everyone to be in the know if you are featured in one. Thanks for posting this!

[Former_Member]

Thank you as well for sharing how we can easily find which treasuries we have been featured in. I just found a couple I had no idea about! Full of surprises! :)

[Former_Member]

I did 5 treasuries in one day this week. I sent a convo to EVERY Person in those 5 treasuries, that took me all day to do, a day from making my craft; that was 90 people to convo (and I did). I don't mind doing it and I am glad I get a convo when I am featured.

What really burns me,,,I received thank yous from 11 people out of 90. It really hurt my feelings that I spent so much time on my treasuries and no one could give a decent thanks.

I will continue to do treasuries, but only to certain business industries that are responsive. I have found 1 business industry who NEVER gives thanks. I will no longer make treasuries for that line of business. Sorry guys, tried to get you more views. Makes me wonder what customer service is for them, if they cannot give a thank you to a fellow Etsian who valued their item enough to include them in a treasury. (by the way, I try to feature something from a store that has NEVER been in treasury to help that store along with possible more views, favorites, circle and hearts)

I was extremely hurt and discouraged.
