My learning curve in all things Etsy has become increasingly steeper in the last few weeks. Especially since opening my shop and joining the Dutch and European Street teams, I have been discovering new things everyday! Treasuries, what they are, who makes them and what for, is just one of them.
So, what is the Treasury? It's an ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery of handpicked items. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme or just whatever they like. Etsy’s staff (“Admin”) often choose whole or partial exceptional Treasury lists to promote to the featured, handpicked items on Etsy’s home page.
They are a lot of fun to make and the more you make, the better and prettier they get! I try to make them as beautiful and cohesive as possible and my primary goal is to promote quality items from European sellers and fellow teammates.
I have also had a few items featured in a treasury last week and one of them actually made it to the front page, which was super exciting! Plus, I got a million views on my shop and tons of hearts!!
I am currently featured in 5 treasuries and I am keeping my fingers crossed that one of them will end up on the front page again, bringing in all those new viewers that might not otherwise find b*lota! And wouldn't that be a shame?
Treasury making is indeed addictive!
ReplyDeleteI hope you end up on the FP one of these days, good luck!
Such a great intro - I had no idea how they made those beautiful collages. Now I know the method behind the magic!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous description of Treasuries for anyone unfamiliar! They are such fun to make, especially when there is such amazing talent to choose from on Etsy, like you b*lota my dear!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you find yourself on the front page very soon, too! :-)
