Heartsy closing - what are the alternatives?

[Former_Member]

I've just received an email to say Heartsy is closing at the end of March. I wondered why there were no sales previewed for tomorrow!

That is disappointing, I was just stocking up with a plan to do a deal - they've always been very successful for me.

So, where do we go now - what are the alternatives to Heartsy and has anyone used them?

I have a deal on Bellechic starting on 2nd March (bellechic.com), and have used Thrifty Seeker, but both have much higher charges.....

I know! I am so bummed! I always thought Heartsy was a permanent fixture in the handmade community! So sad!

Do you think it has anything to do with the VIP e-mail leak earlier this month?

I had a sale on Fab.com last December, and I have another tomorrow. Fab can be a bit difficult to get into, and they require you to have a very, very large amount of inventory ready to ship directly to them so they can fulfill the orders, but I found them very pleasant to work with so far.

What email leak?

I love that fab.com but was not aware how to get into it. I have found a lot of wonderful things on there. I may have to check it out.

Hi! I have come across a great new way to promote. There is a new website that offers both great discounts on wonderful Etsy products, and also the oppurtunity for you as artisans to sell your items.

I am featured there now. It's very easy!

I just found www.dorobox.com
It is a deal site for etsy products that is opening soon. I contacted the owners and they are getting many subscriptions. Looks great but time will tell.

Oh my cousin sells on fab, but you can't even look at items unless you create an account.

Try Tophatter.com. It is a live auction that is really fun and interactive with the audience.
