Really Etsy....

So I was a top 10 finalist in the Art of Reuse Contest which was a huge accomplishment to achieve! I was and still am so grateful for the opportunity but am so dissatisfied with ETSY and NBC.
We all cant wait to make it big you know and what are the chances that we do? I feel like ETSY really dropped the ball. I don't understand why they did not promote the top 10 finalists a bit better or at all! Not only did it allow for the spot light to be on them but also for the spotlight to bring traffic to ETSY and all the other amazing sellers on here!
The Today Show featured our stuff and they made fun of most of the products. They didn't even include the names of the shops and where the products could be found! I just don't understand why ETSY wouldn't want to promote us?
When they announced the winner on the Today Show this morning they only announced the first place winner, completely leaving out the second and third place winner!
Just venting.........thanks for listening!

That's surprising to me that Etsy wouldn't have promoted this a little bit. I don't understand it either. Maybe they are focused on other ways of promoting like featuring shops in the Etsy blog, and maybe they have their hands full with the big changes going on with the site. ?

Re: Really Etsy....

I feel dissapointed in the way everything was handled too. I can only imagine the frustration and anger from yourself and the other finalists. The whole thing wasn't even done in a professional manner. Do they realize they are dealing with individual artists, not a big company? Everything bit of promotion matters, and when items are mocked on national tv, geez. What were they thinking? You would have thought Etsy would have found some way to promote this event. It had SUCH potential! At the very least, they could have worked with NBC to make sure they and their artists were represented well!! For what it's worth, I love your items, and hope someone who watched loved them too and can find your shop!!
