I've started featuring artists in 2010 and it has been a blast for me and them.
Every Saturday, I feature an artist from Etsy, and usually followed by a giveaway sponsored by the artist on Sunday.
This has been great so far and I get positive feedback from the artists and readers. The artists I've featured gained exposure and feedback, earned hearts, blog followers, FB fans, and even got sales. Please note that direct sales is not the main purpose of being featured although it does happen.
Right now I'm looking for more artists to fill for the month of August to November.
You can nominate yourself, or if you know a wonderful Etsy artist who I should feature, please let me know.
Here are some important criteria to be featured on my blog:
* Must have great customer service, first and foremost. Friendliness and going above and beyond are keys to successful business. If I don't see that in you then I don't think I can refer my readers to your shop. I want my friends to really enjoy their buying experience and I need to have the confidence that they will get that from your shop.
* Have at least 30 listed items in your shop in order to provide a good variety of products to choose from.
* Have great pictures: clear and crisp.
* Priority is given to those who sponsoring a giveaway.
