Finishing Touches to December!



Well we are rapidly heading towards last posting dates now for Christmas! I am personally as disorganised as ever with great ideas to be organised next year!

Last week was amazing with yet again a record number of sales!  People getting their first online sales, shops selling out of the item we featured and all the usual good natured liking, commenting and sharing making the reach of our page expand further and further!


The bookable slots are now available through January with very scarily a Valentines Day theme in the last week!

I'm just going to run through the booking process again in case anyone is unsure.


1.  Have a look at the upcoming themes to see which of your items fit into which themed category.

2.  Decide on whether you want to book a single day or book for 5 days which saves  you 20%.

3.  Purchase your chosen day or block of days from the drop down menu. The price is £2 for a day or £8 for 5 days.

4.  Email info@britishcrafters.co.uk with your item link for promotion. If you have booked for 5 days then you need to send 5 links.

5.  Links must be received by 9pm please on the day before you wish to be shared.

6.  Shop links work better than FB links as you can't Pin to Pinterest from FB.  If however you only sell from a Facebook page then we will work extra hard to promote your facebook page on both Facebook and Twitter.
7.  As soon as your shop link is received you will be pinned to the Featured Shops Pin board and your promotion starts.

8.  Sit back and let us do the hard work for you!

Below are the links to book slots.  

To keep the wonderful dynamic of the page we will continue to do free shares with fb only links and will also limit the number  of paid slots available each day.  Once that number is achieved it will be marked on the drop down menu as "sold out"

We get such wonderful feedback - I thought I would share this one with you this week!
I just wanted to let you know that I have thoroughly enjoyed your fabulous Christmas FB promtions. I love looking at all the beautiful work created by such talented people. It is so good to see that you dont need to spend hours tramping the shopping centres looking for ideas, and getting depressed at the poor quality of goods, mostly imported, and overpriced.
I much prefer to either make my own gifts, or purchase from crafters who just love what they do, in their own homes, and produce such stunning work.

And best of all, I have managed to sell something from my Folksy shop every day this month so far! 
Thank you so much 

Hope you have a calm build up to the Big Day this week with lots of last minute sales!

Racing through December!





I can't quite believe we are in the second week of December already!  Sales have been incredible this last week, exceeding even my ambitious hopes for you all!

With only a couple of shopping week's left to go until the "big day" I have opened the book for the first week back in January!  The 6th is going to be Sale Day!  I'm excited about it already!

I'm just going to run through the booking process again in case anyone is unsure.


1.  Have a look at the upcoming themes to see which of your items fit into which themed category.

2.  Decide on whether you want to book a single day or book for 5 days which saves  you 20%.

I thought it might be nice to share just a few of the fabulous feedbacks that people have left for us!  It is great to see that the promotion is working and that the tills in your shops are ringing!  Long may it continue!

"Hi guys! Just wanted to say what a fantastic job you've been doing this week promoting so many fantastic items! I love your page and the way you run it....thanks millions x"

"I would like to thank you for all your hard work in promoting my page and work!! I have had a substantial increase in new visitors and sales and I can only put that down to what you have done for me!! I will certainly be signing up for more if there are any spaces left. You have really made a difference! Xxxx"

"Hi just thought I 'd let you know that I've just sold another cushion cover. (albeit on Etsy) She saw it last week on my paid slot. I have sold three of those so far this week and had an enquiry for a another set of custom ones as well. Your promotion really works. Best £2.00 I have ever spent. The previous week I also had two sales down to you. I can't recommend BC enough. It is just brilliant!" Leah Rose Designs
