Together We Can Do So Much Inspirational Art Print | $13 | goingplaces2

As we have mentioned here previously, joining an Etsy Team (or rather Etsy Groups, as they are starting to be called) can be great for your business in so many ways. We have featured Etsy Teams previously on our blog, including recent posts on POLetsy, Oh Canada!, and the Etsy Italia Team.

I’m on two Etsy Teams myself: the EtsyNJ Team and the Etsy Greetings Team. Both are active teams, with a great support system in place, and talented artists that work together to help promote the team as a whole as well as the individual members.

As we begin planning our holiday shopping guides, we want to invite your team to be featured in our Galleries.

All Etsy teams are eligible. Each team must choose 10 products/sellers that best represent their team. How each team chooses their Top 10 is up to them. Submissions can include holiday items, or not – again, entirely up to each team. We ask that the products include clear photography and include your team’s tag as one of the (14 Etsy tags).  We plan on featuring teams beginning in October with a new Gallery devoted to your team’s chosen items.

Here’s what you need to do: Your team leader should submit your top 10 lists to us here.

Please include the following:

1. Your Etsy Team’s name

2. Name of the team leader (submitting the entry)

3. A brief description of your team and links to your website

4. The team’s “tag” that shoppers can use to find your team’s items on Etsy

5. The top 10 products as voted on or chosen by your team:

Name of Item

Price

Shop Name

URL link for the item

That’s all there is to it!

We look forward to seeing your entries and helping to promote your team for this holiday shopping season.

    Laura, I am on an Etsy team (OFG – Old Farmhouse Gathering) that wants to participate, but our team leader is not available to submit our Top 10. Would another representative from our team be allowed to do so instead?

    Of course! Rose from the Farmhouse Gathering Etsy Team also wrote to me. Definitely if you can organize yourselves, that’s great! Just make sure you let your team leader know when she returns. :) And thanks!

    Wow! I’m the team lead for the SF Etsy team and we’re discussing this now. Sounds like if we can figure out how to best choose our items, we’d love to do this! Do you guys have a deadline by which you need the 10 from the team?

    We don’t have a deadline but we will start featuring teams in Oct! Thanks!

    I’ll pass this on to Etsy Rain & possibly the other teams I’m on (they’re a lot lower in participation levels than Etsy Rain, but they may also be interested)
