How to easily tell your Etsy customers you will be selling at a market/ fair

There are lots of craft fairs and vintage markets happening at the moment and if you are selling at one you will of course you will be wanting to tell all your followers and customers so that those local can come and see you.

There are many ways you can do this for example putting it out to your customer mailing list, telling people on social media, sending invites to people you know etc but did you know you can also put it on Etsy?

Adding an event is super easy and it will appear on your shop so anyone browsing can click through and find out about where you are next exhibiting/ selling.

How to list your event on Etsy Local

1) Log in to your Etsy account

2) Click this link (It will open in a new window so that you can still follow the steps on my blog) https://www.etsy.com/uk/local

3) Check that someone else has not already listed the event by searching for the event. If they have you can then click 'I am participating' If the event is not listed already then click 'Create an Event' and fill in the details on the form

4) Once you have either set up the event listing or clicked 'I am participating' you can then insert the days and hours you will be there and any other info you want to include. 

Things you might want to include....what you are selling, your stand or stall number so people can find you, if you are bringing anything exciting or exclusive
