What If One Simple Move Could Boost Your Shop Before the Holidays?

[MikeKrausArt]

Hey ART team

You probably already know how wild the holiday season can get. The real magic happens before SEPTEMBER hits, and the smart moves we make now can mean more eyes, more love, and yes... more action in our shops.

That’s why we started the Reddit Art Team at:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheARTteam/

a new space just for us. It’s about building momentum together, amplifying what we’re already doing, and creating a ripple effect that helps everyone rise.

If you believe in mutual support, creative collaboration, and planting seeds now that bloom later, you’ll fit right in. And if you know another artist or maker who’d vibe with this, please invite them too. The more voices we have, the stronger our signal becomes. Let’s make this our best season yet.

See you there

Well... that stinks... I don't do reddit. Will have to look into it

I didn't do Reddit either, but it was pretty fast and easy to learn. --Amy

So the pinterest Thread and Instagram will no longer be posted the "old way" ?

[Christmasation]

Just to confirm, all of the activities will be on Reddit now starting tomorrow morning?

I do not do reddit either

[StylishStoneJewelry]

Can we do pinterest and IG games old way?

[Christmasation]

Just an opinion but it's really easy to start a Reddit account and I really like the format. I was very hesitant at first but it's really easy and I even like having all of the activities there in one place. Reddit makes it easy to click through too. From someone who was worried about this format I'm now loving it.

[DesignQueenCase]

I absolutely agree! 

[DesignQueenCase]

I'm not a reddit user either. I created an account for the community, and it was very easy. It doesn't even take a minute to open with your Google account. Just try it and let's continue together.

So happy that Reddit is working well for most of you.  Still working out some of the kinks. And we will be testing other platforms and making other adjustments over time.  We just want to make sure we have something available to us as we head into the holiday season.  THANKS AGAIN!

[Christmasation]

Thank you for all of your hard work and for preparing for the upcoming changes, Mike. I'm sure it will make it much easier to transition once the changes are in place and we'll be ahead of it all because of you and this wonderful team. I'm so grateful to be apart of it. 

[StylishStoneJewelry]

Ok, thanks. I am already there for favathion and pinterest ghame, will do other games too!

Thanks a lot Mike for your time and effort.

Any more information on when the Etsy Team policy changes are supposed to be coming? I was talking with the captain of another one of my Teams where I volunteer, and she said she belongs to a Captain's Group but they hadn't heard anything about this (yet).

Alright, Reddit might be a good option — but am I the only one struggling to find the previous games to catch up?
And it seems like most players aren’t really going back to complete the older games either.
Hopefully, we’ll all adapt quickly!

[Christmasation]

This is the link where you'll find all of the current daily activities and the previous day. It's easier to find if you bookmark it and/or add it to your custom feed in Reddit. I hope this helps!

helps!

@AmySueCrafts We expect to hear some news next week.  That's all I'm allowed to reveal at this time.  

[AmySueCrafts]

I completely understand. Thanks for the update!

[MikeKrausArt]

@GIApillow I'm glad that you're finding Reddit to be working well.  And there is a bit of a learning curve.  As well as some issues that are preventing some members from fully participating.  Those issues will be resolved soon.  

I'm working on some navigation improvements.  Hopefully, those will be operational soon.

And I'm building a reporting system that will actually work, unlike here.  So, I anticipate this will help a LOT!

Also, I've been getting many reports that traffic and sales have dramatically increased.  Maybe this is a good thing?

Thanks @MikeKrausArt ! And so good to see you back!

[MikeKrausArt]

It's good to see you again too.  Etsy invited me back as Captain right before they decided to change everything.  So, maybe they're related?  haha.  THANKS AGAIN!
