December Art Walk Weekend Team Preparations

Every month our AWETeam (Art Walk Etsy Team) gears up for about a week ahead of the Art Walk online event.

It sometimes feels quite like a game trying to navigate how people can find artists, vintage sellers and quality suppliers of goods to make more handmade items.

Technology is constantly changing and people are viewing the world in different ways.

So in our latest attempt to get our team member shops seen, we are creating new square image Profile Photos that we upload to our public Team Facebook page.

There on our First Friday Art Walk Weekend FB page our members are asked to add a link to their Etsy shop and to their FB business page that is associated with their Etsy shop.

Even this can be tricky if you are copy and pasting, but the format is simply:

https://www.Etsy.com/shop/YOUR SHOP NAME

https://www.Facebook.com/YOUR BUSINESS PAGE

We are open to suggestions on how to better help promote our team members - and to get those team members participating every month and helping to share our team and promote this mostly event.

Please leave suggestions in the comments!

Our December team blog post will be live on Friday, December 4, 2015.

If you are an artist, vintage seller, or a supplier for making more handmade items, please join our team and add items to our event thread on our Etsy Team page AND public First Friday Art Walk Weekend Facebook page!

The AWE Team is the official team that hosts the First Friday Art Walk on Etsy.com.

Any Team that wants to be a part of this First Friday Art Walk event are asked to first join as a team to the AWE Team.

Then get members of your team involved.

They can join the AWE Team as an individual, or just participate under the team umbrella by using your designated team tags.

To create a specific tag for your team members to use for this event:

Pick your team tag and add FFAW to the end of it.

Then create a blog post on your team blog for First Friday Art Walk on the Wednesday or Thursday prior to First Friday where your members can link up direct URL's for their Etsy shops.
