Etsy Street Teams

I’ve joined a couple Etsy Street Teams to help promote my shops, and Etsy as a whole. One of the things I love about the place is the social consciousness. Many people use their shops to raise money for charities, including other charities. I’ve also found Etsy to be a vegan-friendly environment. And the committment of many shops to recycling, upcycling, and using eco-friendly materials is really inspirational.

I was already a member of Etsy for Animals (EFA) with my AnimalProtectvLeague shop, but I’ve added my fashionsplatter shop as well & made that my “official” member shop, so that I can take part in challenges with items that would represent that shop. EFA is a group of Etsians who use their skills to support animal causes, and I’m proud to be a part of that movement.

I’ve also joined Vegan Etsy, a group for Etsians who are vegan and maintain vegan shops. This seems like a very positive group, interested in spreading, not preaching, the positive message of veganism. The groups founder has featured my shop on her blog :)
