Lazy Day Artifacts Attacks the Pounce Me Challenge and Wins!

We were thrilled to see all the wonderful themes and cohesive treasuries that resulted from our recent Pounce Me for Fun Challenge!  Pouncing allows Etsy site visitors to discover new sellers who have not yet had their first sale.


Lisabeth of Lazy Day Artifacts rose to the top in views for her "Pouncing on Shades of Oranges and Greys" treasury!  Congratulations Lazy Day Artifacts for discovering a fantastic group of new sellers and coordinating a gorgeous treasury including our EtsyKids Team members!

Lisabeth of Lazy Day Artifacts on Etsy makes the most adorable boutique baby cloaks, toddler swing jackets, and pants for the cloth diapered baby.  I really love her hooded swing cloaks and coats--so practical and fashionable for your little girl!  Pictured below is a lightweight swing coat in the perfect warm shades for Fall and Winter from Lazy Day Artifacts.

Ana's Baby Couture's Front Page "Love Lives Cozy Here"

Ana of Ana's Baby Couture has been one of EtsyKids Treasury Team's top curators in volume of treasuries created for the month of October.  Ana has done a great job of keeping an eye on the merchandising report for her themes.  She's a good example to follow in how to achieve the front page of Etsy--if you curate according to the merchandising suggestions it will be noticed!

A warm thank you to each EKTT curator for your October contributions.  I look forward to seeing more of your treasuries featured by Etsy!  Let's all give Ana a big round of applause for this excellent front page!

Front Page of Etsy goes to: EtsyKids Treasury Team!

Happy to announce that our EKTT was represented on the front page of Etsy this morning!  This is the 3rd front page appearance for the EKTT in our very first month of treasury making!

Have we learned any lessons?  It's very important to keep our eyes on the trends of Etsy's front page!  Another useful tool in tracking Etsy's pulse is to take notice of front page treasury tags.  No one can be on Etsy's front page every hour, but please stop by when you have a few moments.  Are you stuck for a treasury theme?  Seek out inspiration on the front page--don't copy the treasury, but an object inside it might inspire your very own theme!




The treasury "Primary Pounce" which made the front page today included mostly new shops found by using Etsy's Pounce feature!  In honor of this front page, and just because it's so darn much fun, we're having a Pounce ME for FUN Treasury Challenge!

Pounce Me begins on Sunday and lasts through Tuesday at midnight!  The winner will be the treasury with the most views on Etsy!  Winner takes home a blog feature here, and a feature in a treasury made by me!

Please remember, most new Etsians know nothing about treasuries so explain in your notification, and politely ask them to stop by and leave a comment.  Dangle the front page carrot--flash those pearly whites! 

Happy Pouncing EKTT Curators,
Loren
EKTT Coordinator
