Indie Free Spirits Goal of the week: Feb 14th-20th

Who can join?

Indie Free Spirits is a moderated team with the following requirements:

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

1- AMOUNT OF ITEMS IN SHOP:
You have about a full page's worth of items in shop.

2- VIBE:
Your goods and shop are very obviously "Indie".

3- PHOTOGRAPHY:
Your photographs are exceptionally crisp, clear, consistent and beautiful. Professional'esque photography, and bright natural light. No mannequins whatsoever, pretty please. We love treasury friendly shops!

4- CHALLENGES:
You're into a challenge once in a while, and expanding and furthering the growth of your shop, with group discussions and goals. Even if you do not participate in the challenges, I encourage everyone to vote for their favorite piece.

IF YOU ARE A JEWELRY OR ACCESSORIES SHOP:
Your items must not be on mannequins, but models or, exceptionally photographed ways. If your jewelry is not on a model it is imperative that your jewelry REALLY stands out and is shot consistently. We have so many jewelry and accessories shops now- so if this is what you sell, your work must stand out from most. Thanks for your understanding!

Sometimes we grow and our shops sharpen up as time goes on. We find our true voice. So if you are not accepted now, do not be disheartened. Try reapplying in 6 months if you feel you have grown and would be a good fit for the team. Much love..
Your Captain, Wolf Mother

As your Cap'n I'd like to provide goals for you to take part in, if it so interests you. The goals will be super simple and something you can accomplish in a short sitting. Here is this week's:

THE GOAL:
Tag 5 items in your shop with "ifsteam"

HOW:
Choose your most recent listings, and the ones that will be best for treasuries. That means well photographed items that you'd be proud to see in treasuries. Most recent so your items show up at the starting of search results.

THE OUTCOME:
You will notice that your shop will be added into team treasuries more often, and this means more priceless promotion ;) The only way that members can find great items to put into their treasuries is by searching the term "ifsteam" in the search bar. When you provide lots of items tagged with it, you up your chances of being featured.

WHAT TO DO NOW:
Go ahead and comment here if you'd like to set and reach this goal, that way you feel that it's official and must be carried out :D Once you've reached it, come back and say, "I DID IT!"

Have fun!!
