Messaging reserved for room moderators and admin only. astulabee joined the room wonderamy: ok folks! wonderamy: lots of good progress here at EtsyTeams. astulabee left the room wonderamy: First, we are now implementing a general email list signup for teams. wonderamy: You can sign up to receive a weekly email througout the holiday season wonderamy: where we keep you in the loop from week to week about resources we are working on to offer Teams to help you promote and organize. We are thinking of offering weekly digests of daily waysto market your teams and shops – “10 minute marketing” – so Teams can really make the most of the season without wonderamy: going crazy with too many huge projects. wonderamy: secondly, wonderamy: we arelaunching on Friday an IMPROVED Etsy Teams section on the Etsy site! wonderamy: It's not the new fancy advanced Teams section we are all waiting for from Etsy Engineering, but it is definitely a good improvement to what's there now, to hold us over. wonderamy: It will be easier to find helpful tools and resources for teams, like a series of guides we are working on, which you all have helped us with in workshops like this. wonderamy: The third thing is major, so first lets see if there are any questions about these first 2 things. Type /ask and then ask your question! Webcams disabled. Webcams enabled. Messaging enabled. Messaging reserved for room moderators and admin only.

CopperLeafStudios: hiya smashing! WHSKR: Hi there, take a seat! wonderamy: The individual team pages themselves (for specific teams) aren't changing that much, but they look a bit cleaner and the directory that takes you to them is MUCH better designed (if I do say so myself) happywhosits: We'll put the info in our yahoo group notmadeinchina left the room happywhosits asks, Re #1, If we recently provided e-mail info to Sara, will we need to again? WHSKR: It might be nice to have an announcement from Etsy to post on our Yahoo Group happywhosits: Amy, will the new design accommodate multiple teams per state? WHSKR: or can we take info from Storque? xiane joined the room spittingimage: good question TiasTreasures: What about defunkt teams - will they be taken off? wonderamy: if you recently provided emails to sara , it was probably for the team leaders list, so yes, you will have to use the form on the new team pages to sign up for the general list. ArmstrongIndustry joined the room Messaging reserved for room moderators and admin only. wonderamy: happy, i am personally working on seperating out the different teams in each state so they aren't all stuck in one page, if that's what you mean wonderamy: defunkt teams will be taken off as we figure out who they are abbey753 asks, will there be a way we can update info or does admin have too sarawearsskirts joined the room spittingimage left the room wonderamy: unfortunately, we still have to update info...like I said, its kind of a band-aid until the new teams pages arrive in the future WHSKR asks, What about International Teams? I assume the page copes with that information wonderamy: yes, we are making the pages much more friendly to international teams wonderamy: in terms of how the index of teams is organized crimsonseadragon asks, so the e-mail thing is a weekly update? spittingimage joined the room wonderamy: it will liekly be weekly, but sometimes we may skip a week - we won't do it more than once per week. LazyMamaDesigns joined the room wonderamy: more questions on these before we move on to topic #3? sarawearsskirts: we don't want to bombard anyone's inbox, we just wantt to make sure people have good information when they need it wonderamy: hi sara! sarawearsskirts: (hi! sorry i'm late!) wonderamy: type /ask with questions! wonderamy: ok, looks like ya'll might be ready for topic #3! sarawearsskirts: (isn't amy the awesomest?) wonderamy: oops, more questions! TiasTreasures asks, if we have updates to our info - should we wait? sarawearsskirts: i'll be updating every day like i do now sarawearsskirts: the updates will carry over wonderamy: nope, just keep 'em coming...we're kind of doing everything at once. right sara? sarawearsskirts: yep. WHSKR asks, maybe a weekly with 'as and when' specials? wonderamy: not sure what you mean WHSKR, feel free to repost question! LazyMamaDesigns left the room wonderamy: ok, on to topic #3. some of you heard this last week, so bear with me...some of the info is more detailed anyhoo. wonderamy: We here at Etsy are currently spearheading a massive initiative to encourage people to buy handmade gifts this holiday season. wonderamy: We have built a website which will launch in the next few days (it’s not live yet), where people will be able to take this simple pledge: wonderamy: "I pledge to BUY HANDMADE this holiday season, and request that others do the same for me." wonderamy: More than mere marketing campaign, we view this as a call to action for consumers to be conscious of how they spend their money and, whenever possible, to support independent creators. wonderamy: . We’ve gathered together an impressive gang of partners to do this with us, to collectively work to promote the site and foster a movement. The pooling of resources between Etsy and our partners will create a huge buzz on the internet – wonderamy: collectively we represent a huge population of crafters, designers, artisans, artists and hand-makers…and our audiences and buyers. The Etsy marketing Team is working with the partners on a huge press campaign. sarawearsskirts: and we're hoping to spread the big buzz offline, too! that's where you all come in, to a degree. AliV joined the room wonderamy: Of course, this is a TREMENDOUS marketing and promotional opportunity for Etsy sellers and Etsy Teams! In fact, Etsy Teams are the most powerful grass-roots engine for spreading the word about anything Etsy, especially this kind of thing. wonderamy: (pausing to let people read) wonderamy: As each of you takes the pledge on the buyhandmade.org web site, you also leave your Etsy shop URL, which is great for your visibility, as gizillions of people will be visiting the site. wonderamy: whoops. i just told you the url. well, its not live yet, but will be in the next few days! wonderamy: ha ha sarawearsskirts: ha. awesome! wonderamy: We are hoping that the Etsy Teams will drive massive amounts of traffic to the handmade pledge site, which will drive massive amounts of traffic to Etsy.com, which will be great for all of us. sarawearsskirts: (you guys, keep the URL to yourselves til it's announced, okay?) wonderamy: We are also hoping that this will give you, the Teams, a great way to focus your Holiday season plans and activities – a way which will connect you to a much bigger movement, with much bigger press opportunities. sarawearsskirts: (see the perks of coming to workshops? we slip up and tell you things before they're announced!) wonderamy: ok, ask away! type /ask and start asking your questions! TiasTreasures asks, when is the announcement going to be made to everyone? sarawearsskirts: very shortly. sarawearsskirts: within the week, i'm told wonderamy: we hope on Friday! along with the improved teams pages. TiasTreasures asks, my team is super excited! You guys rock! sarawearsskirts: yay! wonderamy: AS DO YOU! sarawearsskirts: you make us rock! TiasTreasures asks, Will promo's still go out at the end of October? sarawearsskirts: we totally rely on your enthusiasm to help us want to do more! sarawearsskirts: yes. wonderamy: yes - including promos for this project! sarawearsskirts: we're working on ordering them, and we're going to get them to you ASAP abbey753 asks, who are the partners sarawearsskirts: all the teams will have promos for the handmade pledge no later than mid-november wonderamy: I dont think we are allowed to tell you until the site goes live: sarawearsskirts: the usual suspects? wonderamy: but I will say, they ROCK! sarawearsskirts: you can probably guess them, to be honest. sarawearsskirts: but we're not at liberty to say ; ) sarawearsskirts: it's like minded companies sarawearsskirts: people you'll also want to support wonderamy: but don't! because I am no good at keeping secrets and you will sense me blushing from across the internets! wonderamy: ha ha smashing!! not quite! happywhosits left the room willowglass asks, I know you can't spill any details, but are the partners all Internet partners or is there any print advertising planned? sarawearsskirts: we're blowing this up big time, to quote matt, give or take wonderamy: our marketing team at Etsy sarawearsskirts: (matt likes to blow things up) wonderamy: is working on a huge campaign with the partners, wonderamy: to do press, advertising, etc., but I am not sure where specifically. wonderamy: The exciting thing is that all the partners will be promoting it sarawearsskirts: honestly, we're not sure of that end of things - we run the teams side. wonderamy: i dont know if there will be TV WHSKR... crimsonseadragon asks, why is the pledge website seperate from the Etsy website? sarawearsskirts: so that our partners have equal ownership over it, so to speak CopperLeafStudios left the room wonderamy: yes, and will launch very soon. we will announce it on the storque, the teams email lists, and the forums as soon as its live! sarawearsskirts: it's not just an etsy initiative wonderamy: its a consortium sarawearsskirts: it's a movement - a movement of the masses who are sick of mass-produced goods. wonderamy: but etsy is the biggest marketplace in the consortium - the other partners are not retail sites like etsy. sarawearsskirts: (it just so happens that etsy is the premiere place to buy all things handmade...) wonderamy: so, when people get ispired through the pledge to buy stuff, they will go striaght to etsy. WHSKR asks, Anything Street Teams can do specifically to get this information out? wonderamy: yes! wonderamy: one reason we are interested in this email list for Teams, dmriceart joined the room wonderamy: is that we want to put together a whole calendar of things that Teams can do to not only promote the pledge, but to USE THE PLEDGE to promote your own teams and shops. Its a 2-way thing. wonderamy: Yay collaboration! AliV left the room wonderamy: We are hoping this can become a part of the things your teams are already working on and planning for the holidays, and bloster it. wonderamy: this will give you, the Teams, a great way to focus your Holiday season plans and activities – a way which will connect you to a much bigger movement, with much bigger press opportunities. wonderamy: For example, if you do a local or web-based event and you want to send out a press release about it, talking about the handmade pledge will give your story a bigger spin that the news outlets might find extra interesting. wonderamy: We are putting together guides and promos that will be available on the improved team.etsy.com pages, just for you guys to use. WHSKR asks, I assume we can ask friends and colleagues to sign this Pledge? wonderamy: YES! the more people you can get to sign it, the better! wonderamy: And did I mention, when you sign it, you put your shop name next to your name, and it helps promote your shop. All the signees will be visible on the site. TiasTreasures asks, I can't wait to see the wording on the pledge? Do you know what it says? wonderamy: I can give you a little taste. hang on while I cut and paste. sarawearsskirts: i can tell you it's designed as cleanly and nicely as this site, while amy gets you the copy. wonderamy: its really simple... sarawearsskirts: are you all super psyched? i'm so excited to be part of this all for the holidays this year. wonderamy: "I pledge to buy handmade for the Holiday Season, and request that others do the same for me" sarawearsskirts: simple and eloquent and to the point, right? wonderamy: then the long list of signess, who can put their URL and the reason they are signing, wonderamy: and the list of partners... sarawearsskirts: (are we spilling that?) wonderamy: no sara sarawearsskirts: ha wonderamy: its a mystery! wonderamy: ok, lets answer the last few questions and open the floor! sarawearsskirts: and there will be different downloads and buttons and things you can use to promote the site available nancygamon asks, One Street Team member thought she'd write an article for her craft group. Is this okay, or does info have to come straight from Etsy? wonderamy: I assume you mean she is writing it about the pledge? She should go ahead...it doesnt have to come straight from Etsy. TiasTreasures asks, what if we promote at craft fairs and people want to sign right then and there? Is there a way for them to do it offline? sarawearsskirts: we like when people link to articles and things in the storque for this info sarawearsskirts: (to the previous question) ShinyAdornments joined the room sarawearsskirts: good question, tiastreasures. wonderamy: great question Tias...one thing you can do is give them the promo materials for the pledge so they can take it to a computer and sign. wonderamy: Yu can also set up a laptop and have them sign it right there. sarawearsskirts: there will be LOTS of promo stuff available, and the URL is really simple to rmemeber sarawearsskirts: yay wireless! wonderamy: But as far as I know, its a totally online thing right now montezumamudd asks, Can we sign more than once - once for my shop and once for the Team shop? sarawearsskirts: (which is good -easy to click through to etsy, for shopping, right?) wonderamy: i think so...the team is a differnet entity than just you...you might have someone else on your team do it. sarawearsskirts: we probably just want people to sign once, as a buyer and appreciator of handmade items... oooh, i don't know about this. sarawearsskirts: we don't want to cross a line and have it be seen as spam at all - the site will be somewhat moderated to protect it from out and out abuse. ShinyAdornments left the room wonderamy: OK, we are going to open the floor now, because we are eager to hear your thoughts, opinions, and questions. Just a reminder though - please stay on topic! Messaging enabled. TiasTreasures: This is exciting! abbey753: this is exciting xiane: I'm very pleased about these ideas. smashing: very! :) wonderamy: great! crimsonseadragon: nice! WHSKR: I will be letting our Group Leader know about this, it sounds promising. TiasTreasures: The sooner we get the promo's the better! poorlulu: i think it's a very creative idea TiasTreasures: We have a craft fair November 10th! xiane: agreed about getting the promos asap smashing: so we just sign up on friday for the BH promos? estasketch: yay :) i can't wait to *finally* get our street team organized and promoting together Hoolyghans: I"ve a show on 11/3 wonderamy: yes, spread the word far and wide...etsy teams are a huge worldwide force! willowglass: yes, asap! weekly fairs from now until December WHSKR: Question : Should I put promo material in with an item sold? TiasTreasures: Can we get downloadable promo's before middle of November? spittingimage: When you say promo, is this online only? WHSKR: Maybe to be passed on? abbey753: could partners run some sort of contest to give handmade gifts certificates for 50.00 to shop at esty would be nice wonderamy: yes, put promos in everything! WHSKR: I think there will be pritable stuff wonderamy: Yes, downloadable promos very soon smashing: sweet! WHSKR: OK my bags aer selling OK I shall make sure I put information in them when it starts arriving. Hoolyghans: promo suggestion...printable business card size w/ the pledge & the url xiane: I like printing from home! excellent! wonderamy: no, promos are online and off-line - we will mail promo packs to teams sarawearsskirts: good idea, hoolyghans dmriceart: Where will we find the downloads? abbey753: promo are nice we can put them on packaging and inside orders sarawearsskirts: at http://team.etsy.com wonderamy: good idea Hooly sarawearsskirts: and from the buyhandmade site WHSKR: I would probably be fine with stuff I can download as I'm in NZ and our group is international TiasTreasures: Where and when? :P I'm impatient! :) xiane: hooly's smart. sarawearsskirts: supersoon! sarawearsskirts: hooly IS smart wonderamy: friday the buy handmade site launches, and the new teams pages launch. downloadable promos some time the next week (we'll know on friday) spittingimage: I like this promo thing, I don't have anything tangible to promote etsy yet.

WHSKR: I like the idea of encouraging people to buy stuff not 'mass produced' by a simple sign-up TiasTreasures: But we can't really get video of an online pledge? WHSKR: Friday? wonderamy: if you guys make videos we can put them in the storque! Hoolyghans: OOOOOOOOOOOHHH!
