Folksy First Anniversary
Posted on January 3, 2010 and last modified on January 3rd, 2010.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my first Folksy year. It would of been sooner but I couldn’t decide if it was for me or not. At that time Folksy was very slow and that put me off a bit when I tried to have a look around the site, but I did sign up and a week or so later SophieCat was born. My sales have just hit 37, which isn’t too bad. I’ve learnt a lot of new things during the last year, mainly about promotion, thanks Leanne and met a lot of nice friendly creative people.
I’ve sold on line in other places before but I must admit Folksy is now my favourite place even though I’m now selling less than previous years. A blog and a Flickr account were created and the rest is history. The first item I sold after just a couple of weeks was a felt cupcake brooch, fabric brooches have been a good seller since. Little crochet critters have done quite well too. Even with little promotion most of my sales have been to Folksy members that don’t have shops themselves, but I have had some brilliant Folksy repeat customers including Sarah who’s set me a few challenges over the last few weeks.
I’ve taken part in a couple of destash swaps, swapped goods with other sellers and a Christmas ornament swap, won a blog giveaway and crafted for charity too. All in all it’s been a nice Folksy year for me. A big thank you to the bloggers that have posted about my items and thanks to Lynsey for featuring my cuties on Cuteable three times. I was and still am very chuffed at the attention. Thanks everyone for making my first year a good one.
Happy anniversary SophieCat.

Congratulations on your first Folksy anniversary. I'm not quite at the full year yet, but it can't be far off will have to check. Here's a great year for all of us:)
aww, I'm glad you've had such a good year! I think I've settled on Folksy as my online selling place too and I think my first year anniversary is coming up soon too!
