My little sister is currently offering free international shipping at www.photobotic.etsy.com
I have many Canadian related links, mostly local, but lots of free tutorials and business tips at www.akanedesigns.blogspot.com
I often check in threads I start to look for featured seller potentials.
Free giveaways are posted weekly, so pop by and follow my blog:)

If you have any information on current shows, applications, new listings, current sales...etc... please post the information here!
I would really love to create a forum that encourages people to frequently visit and help one another with their Etsy shops:)

I'll use this thread to look for featured sellers as well.
A new featured seller and giveaway each week.

Great idea! I'm offering free shipping to the US and Canada. I was offering Canadian dollars at par but after 2 1/2 months no-one was interested.
Any advice on getting more traffic through new stores?

I'm going to try to get shops involved in a group sale of some kind.
I think it would be nice to do a group sale in May.
Some options are...
1) 20% of sales go to the Canadian Cancer Society
2) 20% off all participating shops
3) Buy one get the second 50% off
4) Each shop has their own sale, but on the same week or for the month?
If you'd like to participate in this group sale, please post here which sale you'd be interested in.

Once I get some responses, I'll repost the sale that will be offered and I'll make a new promotions thread and send out matching avatars to everyone:)
