I've blogged about Etsy before - the Etsy folks have built their site on being "the place" to buy handcrafted items, and jewelry shops are huge on Etsy. Do you have an Etsy shop?
One of the unique things about Etsy is how they set up different ways to shop: click on a bubble in a color chart and you'll find all kinds of suggestions of items that are that color. Search on a specific word, and you'll find items that use that word in the description or accompanying text. Treasuries are lists created by artists of their "favorite" items, and there are only a limited number of Treasuries available at any given time.
So when I saw that a Treasury was available, I grabbed it quickly...and filled it with items from some of my favorite sellers. True to the marketing ploy of "title your Treasury with something that will grab people's attention" I called it Chocolate Lovers, stating that while I'm not a big chocoholic, I know those artists are.
So while being noticed on Etsy is a little like being a tiny little guppy in the big ocean, everything you can do to promote your shop is good. If you're a seller on Etsy, try getting a Treasury, and nab some PR for your own shop as well as for your friends. :-)
