Found this in another Team. Thought it was very valuable, so reposting here:
Here are some great tips for getting your Treasury on the Front Page or in one of Etsys promotional e-mails:
Follow the Etsy merchandising trends. Here is the link for July's trends:
www.etsy.com/blog/en/2011/from-etsys-merchandising-desk-july/
These are the trends, themes and keywords that Etsy will be promoting on the Front Page and in newsletters during July. Use them to choose a theme for your Treasuries.
Etsy admin is looking to introduce a wider variety of unisex, men-centric, music, and VINTAGE niches into the regular rotation. Make sure to tag lists appropriately for the best return.
NEVER use your own items in a Treasury, if you want to be considered for the Front Page.
There are many teams and avenues for self-promotion on Etsy but the Treasuries are for promoting your fellow shop owners. It's a "what-goes-around-comes-around" kind of thing.
And the number one tip: Choose GREAT photos for your Treasury.
Have you ever seen a Front Page with so-so photos? We never have.
Savvy treasury curators look for great photos for their collections. It's one of the main reasons that you see the same items featured time and again on the Front Page.
Another good reason to sharpen your photography skills... but that's different post.
Hope you all have a great July and thanks for including Vintage Lovers team members in your Treasuries.
