It has come to our attention that the new thing outside of ETSY is buying shop domains and reselling them back to the community in an auction setting. Those of you that are not familiar with domains, they are .coms .nets etc.
So basically, you can have a craft shop called craftsandstuff
and etsy gives you this long web address
http://www.etsy.com/craftsandstuffwhen you buy a .com for your shop then you get
www.craftsandstuff.com instead of the long web address
Not only does this make you look more legit and professional it is a necessity if you plan on being in business indefinitely. It is easier to fit on business cards, share on facebook etc.
For those of you that are well aware what a domain is and how to purchase, we recommend you get your domain asap on your own.
For those of you that would like us to take care of the process for you, we are offering our team a special discount on this service.
Now until the end of November, USE CODE: SharkAttack during check out for $5.00 off your personal shop domain.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/187064376/official-etsy-web-address-domain-com-net?ref=shop_home_feat_1We will take care of everything, including forwarding your shop to the domain.
If you know what you are doing, buy your domain on your own as soon as you can.
If someone gets your name before you, it will turn into a bidding war.
Have a good evening everyone!
