New Team Tag?

Etsy is now asking (but not requiring) that teams include "team" in their team tag. I'd like to leave it up to our members if we should do this or not. Here are the minutes to the team leader workshop that discusses why we are being asked to do this and the benefits that come with it.

Please go to the message board where you can vote on the poll and add your input about this in this thread.

Susmitha of Art by Susmitha snagged us our seventh team treasury! It can be viewed here for the next three days. Thank you Susmitha!

If you want to be on the list, please let me know as soon as possible. For more details and a current list of stores that are participating, visit this thread on our message board.

Jody of Paws In The Sun made us our sixth team treasury that can be found here for a few more days. Isn't it lovely? Thanks so much, Jody!!

Mention in Storque article

An article published in the Storque today, Team Tips: Green Your Team!, listed Vegan Etsy as one of the "green" teams to check out. Go vegan to go green!

New Team Site!

We have a few new team sites! Melanie of The Coma Girl Designs has created us a Facebook group, so if you're on Facebook, please join it!

I'm always looking for more interviews to post, so for those of you who haven't sent me yours, please send them to me if you want yours posted. Also, it's not a requirement, but I highly recommend joining the message board. It's easy to use and doesn't take much time to check it on a regular basis for new messages. There are a lot of things posted over there that don't get posted here, so don't miss out!

Vegan Etsy Flyer!

Melanie of The Coma Girl Designs was kind enough to make us a team flyer. Thank you so much, Melanie! Please feel free to copy it to your desktop and print it out or use it on any of your sites. I have also put it in this thread on the message board with the rest of our graphics.

Earth Day Promotion

Two weeks from today, April 22, is Earth Day. Living a vegan lifestyle is one huge way someone can help the environment, so we will be doing a team promotion for Earth Day.

Each store will be deciding what they want to do for that day. Promotions may include sales, free shipping, giving a percentage of sales to a charity and more, so make sure to check out each store to see what they are doing. Stores will state that they are doing a promotion for Earth Day in their shop intro and will include details of their promotion along with a link or two to a site that provides information on veganism.

On April 21, I will be posting a list of all stores that are participating, so stay tuned!

Team members, if you would like to participate, please post in this thread on the message board or convo me.

Updates & Tidbits

Our team page was just updated, so everyone that is a member is now on the page. I checked the links once, but just in case one of them does get broken, please let me know. There are just a few more things that need to be updated that were missed, but for the most part the page is up to date!

If you want to take part in the Earth Day promotion, please post over on the message board in this thread or convo me to let me know you want to be added to the list of participants.

Speaking of the message board, please sign up if you haven't already! There are a lot of good discussions starting up already and it has good information about the team and veganism on it. Plus, it's great getting to know everyone!

I'm still looking for interviews, so please get them to me if you want yours posted!

Treasury #5!!

I was able to grab us this treasury right before I headed off to work this morning in Treasury West. This is the fifth treasury that is a 100% Vegan Etsy treasury!

Team Updates!!

The majority of votes in the poll were for the message board, so we will be using it for now on for our team’s communications rather than the Yahoo group, which has been deleted. If you haven’t signed up on the message board yet, please take a minute to do so and take a look around. There’s quite a bit of activity on it already, including a thread discussing our upcoming Earth Day event. If you don’t have the link, it’s to the right with the rest of our links and is also listed on most of our other sites. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the board or problems you encounter.

If you haven’t sent me your interview and would like to have it posted here, please send it to me as soon as you can. I’m fresh out of them!
