Member Benefits
Being a member comes with a lot of benefits. Other than the publicity we've received, and the exposure it gives to our members, being a member includes -
- using our team tag - “veganetsy team” - in your listings. Please note that ‘veganetsy’ is one word, not two in this application (but not elsewhere!);
- being hearted by the Vegan Etsy shop as well as other members.
- joining the team officially through Etsy and appearing on the Etsy team profile page;
- a new member welcome post on VeganEtsy.com;
- eligibility to join the team flickr group and post pictures of your items in the pool;
- eligibility to add your blog to our blog ring;
- a ton of support and companionship from your fellow teamies, on the message board and otherwise!;
- member discounts from a number of team member shops - details on each shop can be found here;
- participation in team games and challenges on our message board, with a chance to win prizes from a variety of member's shops.
- An original recipe
- Any sales or specials that you are having in your shop(s).
- A review of a team member item
- An ISO - "In Search Of" - an exact description of an item that you'd like designed for you by a team member, a sort of challenge for the team
- A screenshot of a treasury made up of Vegan Etsy Team items - a great tool for creating treasury images can be found here.
Vegan Etsy is all over the internet! Other than our blog, we have the following sites-
Getting Active
Active members are what makes our team a successful one and every little bit that members can do is appreciated! Here are some ways to become involved with the team and support your fellow members.
- Use our team graphics on your sites and in your store listings. Print them out & hand them out where you feel appropriate (in packages when you sell, local shops like coffee shops and boutiques, etc.). They can be found here.
- Post about our team on your blog and other websites.
- Make a team treasury. If you do, post about it on the board, on our Facebook pages, and everywhere else!
- Write an article about our team for your local paper or an online site. If you do this and it is published, please let us know!
- If you have purchased something from another member’s shop, write a nice review about it for our blog. Include any links or pictures that are relevant and send it all along to Melissa Bastian.
- Post in the Etsy forums and bump any threads that have to do with our team or veganism. If someone is looking for a vegan product, recommend one of our members.
- Show other members the love! Heart their stores*, favorite items from their stores, make them your friends on flickr, indiepublic, facebook and myspace. Take it a step further and make them your friends on myspace and Facebook, follow them on Twitter - we've got a great group of people here, and it's all about building a community.
- Give each other support on the message board. The stronger our forum community grows, the better!
- When a team treasury is made, click on the items in the treasury and leave a comment. This helps to bump its "hotness" up and get noticed more.
- Participate in team events! They are fun and help the team members get to know each other.
