OCT: The ZMACS Etsy Promo Swap #4

The ZMACS Etsy promo swap

Autumn-to-Christmas is the busy season for anybody who sells their crafty creations at fairs and/or has an Etsy (or other online) store,. Time to host another round of this swap!

You will send each of your partners:

• 5 business cards
• plus 5 small promo samples which give an idea of the kind of thing you sell
• plus an extra gift for your partner to keep, something from your store that usually retails at $5 or more (this can be one item or several combined)

Promo samples should be anything that is easy for you to make multiples of but is still a good representation of your merchandise. They should be small/lightweight so that your partner does not have to increase their shipping costs to mail them on. Eg:

• a mini-zine
• a postcard
• greeting card
• a bookmark
• stickers
• a button
• a badge
• a cellphone charm
• mailing labels

The idea is that you will give away the promos you receive in this swap FREE to anyone who buys something from your own craft stall, Etsy store, or posts to your blog giveaway (however you prefer to arrange it) etc. It's just a way to give your own customers a little extra something with their purchase at the same time as helping to promote a fellow ZMACS crafter. :)

This is a time-intensive swap, so please be aware of that before signing up. This swap is not profile specific, so you can start putting promo packs together before partners are assigned.

Swap requirements

• You must have completed 30 Type 3 swaps to join this swap.
• Please link to your online store in your profile. Your store must sell handmade items rather than supplies (a mixture is okay).
• 3 partners = 3 promo pack + gifts sent & 3 promo pack + gifts received
• Each promo pack comprises 5 business cards attached to 5 small promo items. (Please make sure your business card will not be separated from its promo item: combine in a cello bag, use card as a hang tag for a charm, staple your card to your item, etc. You don't want the eventual recipient to be wondering who made your awesome creation, you want them to know who you are so they can come & buy more!)
• In addition to the 5 promo items described above, send one larger item (available in your store for a minimum of $5) as a gift to each partner.
• Send on time!

The obvious bit
Late swaps & low ratings will all be checked before assigning partners. Contact me if you think there might be a problem.
