BNS / BNR - New and Improved

Jump to solution
As we all know that visibility and promotion is the key to success on Etsy , the same applies to our BNS / BNRs

After a lot of observation , I have observed that as a team captain and our leaders keep making the treasuries, promote it, create artistic emails and send it, send convo's and make interactive games and discussion boards for all of the team to participate , inviting new members, volunteering to send convo's , organizing team events and coordinating them - but sometimes it is not fair. A TEAM means teamwork and not the work of a few people alone.

Hence for the reasons above , I have come up with a few amendments to our teams BNS / BNR -
1. The purchase award points will work in the same manner as they have been working so far.

2. There are always a few unfilled spots ranging between 1 free spot to 9 spots - which as a leader, I would always try and promote the existing team members or new joinees. But now, there will be bidding for these free spots for every treasury - the bidding can only be done by team members who commit to bring a minimum of 10 hearts or 10 comments in the following treasury they wish to be included in.
Bidding can be done on the same discussion board here, where all a team member needs to do is say - " I agree and commit to bring a minimum of 10 hearts or 10 comments in the BNS / BNR # XX , kindly include me in"

3. The number of free spots can be seen on the treasury board where the captain announces the list of "shops to be featured " . The spots keep getting filled as and when there are any sales, or someone wins a trivia , or wins a treasury challenge , or has volunteered for the team, or is featured on 100 views or a trade ..

As a team, we are promoted regularly (3 to 4 times a month) by sending out a professional looking email to all members of SIMPLE TRADING TEAM and LIKE MY FANPAGE TEAM - which is well over 1500 members. We also send convo's out to members for participation.

Members can feel free to start bidding for inclusion on any board henceforth.

Incase there are any queries, please feel free to get in touch with the captain / post here.

MEANING OF 10 HEARTS OR 10 LIKES RULE -

1. This does not mean that you as a featured member on the board need to heart 10 items on the board - it is not mandatory , although it would be great if you do :)

2. And by 10 comments , we do not mean that you keep coming back to the treasury and making new comments until you have made 10, it is not mandatory , although it would be great if you do :)

The important part is to get the hearts and likes from people not on the board and even better - not on the team. These are external viewers who would tend to see your item for the first time and hence may like your item or even better still - buy it :)

So here is the mandatory part -
3. You need to be a member of the team
4. You need to heart the treasury that you are featured in , and refave it (by clicking on the heart symbol twice) at least 3-4 times during the week for repeat visibility on the activity board of your followers
5. Publicise and promote the board as much as we possibly by putting the link of the board on treasury promoting teams or threads like; 'promote and run' , "heart my treasury" , heart 5 comment 5 " etc etc...threads etc are just some ways.
6. More options to gain hearts and likes are by sending convo's to your known friends to come and heart the board for you. This gives YOU future rounds :) as they can come and say "faved for {your name} " on the comments.

As long as you make sure you have contributed at least 10 hearts or 10 likes or a mix of both - you are good to go and you have completed your commitment :)

By the way - the above commitment takes 10 minutes to finish !!

Wishing everyone loads of exposure and double loads of sales :)

Here is what you should ideally do now TO INCREASE THE TREASURY “HOTNESS”:

~ Doing at least 16 clicks (1 mouse click on each of the 16 items in the treasury) increases the number of clicks in the treasury stats (top right). The number of clicks, combined with typing a comment and hearting the treasury (adding to your favorites) makes the treasury HOTTER.
~ The hotter the treasury is, the closer it moves to the first page of treasuries, which increases the chance that more people will find your shop.
~ post a coupon code for the shoppers if you would like
~ inform your prospective buyers / trades about your feature on this board - so that they can come and paste the transaction link and avail the benefit of buying from you

* BNS - It means Buy and Stay - If you buy from someone on the board, you secure a spot in the next round. This way you can have multiple people buying from you from next round onwards, not to forget all the promotion and visibility. The number of rounds you are featured depends on whom you buy from. For instance, purchasing from the curator / team leaders / featured shops give you more future rounds to be featured.

* BNR - It means Buy and Replace - If you buy from someone on the board, you will immediately secure a spot in that very round by replacing the person you bought from in that spot. This way you can have visibility starting from that round itself and possibility of people buying from you from that as well as the next round onwards. The number of rounds you are featured depends on whom you buy from.For instance, purchasing from the curator / team leaders / featured shops give you more future rounds to be featured.
