Informing Stores about Treasury Listing

[ATreasureHunt]

Does anyone know how you inform shops when you have listed their item in a treasury?

Do you just have to individually inform each shop?

Thanks,

yes you have to inform every store individually via convo.
a feature for general notice would be nice but unfortunately there is none :-(

The Etsy Stats Beta has a section for treasuries! It's such a treat when I'm checking my Stats and see that something was featured in a treasury! Better yet, you can see all the treasuries you've been in for the last week/month/year, as well as which items were chosen for those treasuries.

I still prefer to inform each shop individually, making sure I change the wording slightly. It's so much more personal (if a little time consuming!)

I know this thread is a few weeks old but I wanted to check to see if anyone knew where to find the guidelines for this? I can't find any specific notes that says we should/ shouldn't contact the sellers featured in a treasury.

Thanks!

There aren't any specific guidelines. Some treasury makers inform everyone via an individual convo, and some don't. It's just up to you. I personally like to know, since I often miss that I've been included in a treasury in the feed.

I usually individually contact each one via convo to inform them and I I have gotten convo-ed when I have been included in a treasury. I like to know when I am and I think it is a nice thing to let others know as well. It is a little treat to let that person know that I loved their item so much I included it to shown off to others :)

You can use shmetsy.com and inform everyone in the treasury with one click.

this comes up all the time.. it's a bit of a dividing question! personally, it pops up in my activity feed when i'm in a treasury, and though i don't really mind an extra convo about it, i also don't feel it's necessary..

Ok, I found this:
"Once you have created a beautiful collection, you're welcome to share it with your friends or those you have included. Please keep our DOs and DON'Ts in mind if you decide to message each member you have included in your list."

So, in the end you do not have to contact the seller, as it says "if you decide to message each member."

I really dislike being notified, it just adds more junk mail to my messages. JMHO

I appreciate a convo letting me know when I'm lucky enough to have one of my items featured in a Treasury, but I have read in previous forum posts that some sellers view treasury notification convos as spam. Each to their own. As far as I know, it's not mandatory to let sellers know their items have been featured in a treasury

Etsy is a lot about building relationships. I like to get a convo about a Treasury, but don't mind if none is sent, since my activity feed tells me when one of my paintings is in a T. But I always leave a comment on the T, favorite the T if it is awesome, Facebook and Twitter about it if really awesome. After all, my piece is there, so why wouldn't I promote it as broadly as possible among my fans and followers? Might inspire a sale. But mostly, I always go check out the person who created the Treasury. If they have a nice shop, I add a piece or two of theirs to my favorites, to include later in Treasuries that I make. Turn about is fair play. Some of my strongest Etsian friendships have grown from Treasuries.
