We decided to organize for the purpose of drawing more of our target customers to Etsy, and collaborating in some well-placed advertising which represents the upscale work we produce.Giftbearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11698066439644185753noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34652877.post-1159565198677312472006-09-29T14:22:00.000-07:002006-09-29T14:26:38.686-07:00<strong>The 40-60 group has just decided on a new name; the Art Jewelry Collective.

We are looking into various options in both online, and print advertising, as well as the possibility of opening a complete website to host members' bios, jewelry photos, and links to Etsy. We would like for the site to be fully self-supporting from member contributions and/or adspace rental in a number of creative forms. Depending on space constraints and how soon this happens, we may operate out of that site completely or we may create a new blog at blogspot at which to post our news once the name change takes place.<br /><br />We now have a Treasurer, and also a source for a low-cost professional ad to be drawn up, the design of which can then be used for many future online and print purposes.<br /><br />Committees are being planned to work on various facets of marketing, including researching and attracting a list of gallery clients to Etsy, promo material for show-packets, and identifying and marketing to other untapped demographic populations other than age who are ready, willing, and able to purchase art jewelry, (just to name a few things that are in the works).<br /><br />We are developing a growing list of ad forms, contracts, and media kits, forming important relationships with ad representatives in a number of places, and assessing which advertising will give us the most bang for our buck, and in which order.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=495648"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34652877-115926407013588355?l=etsyjewelryartisans.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Giftbearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11698066439644185753noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34652877.post-1158641854193899482006-09-18T21:43:00.000-07:002006-09-27T22:05:11.876-07:00The group discussion which began on Etsy's messageboard under (Street Teams) identified two demographics we would like to market to: 25-40 year-olds, and 40-60 year-olds. The 25-40 demographic group is organized by Ahna, LavaJewelry, and BCYRJewelry, and the 40-60 demographic group, by me. All organizers will be working together on many of our endeavors. Ultimately, we would like to develop various sub-groups dictated by the interests and specialties of our members, and encourage volunteers who would like to help out with particular parts of this work. If we have active participation, the community we build will be richer for it; (no pun intended).<br /><br /><div align="center"></div><strong><div align="left">25-40 Target Age Demographic</div><div align="left"><a href="http://giftbearer.etsy.com/">Giftbearer.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><a href="http://silverdragon.etsy.com/">SilverDragon.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://asilomarworks.etsy.com">http://asilomarworks.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.IvoryArts.etsy.com">IvorysArts.etsy.com </a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.bazzerkkelly.etsy.com">www.bazzerkkelly.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.baxterhouse.etsy.com">http://www.baxterhouse.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://dbrowndesigns.etsy.com/">DBrownDesigns.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://darlingdesigns.etsy.com/">DarlingDesigns.etsy.com</a><br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">40-60 Target Age Demographic<br /><br /><a href="http://eclecticmetalsmith.etsy.com/">Eclecticmetalsmith.etsy.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.delicatedesigns.etsy.com/">delicatedesigns.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://giftbearer.etsy.com/">Giftbearer.etsy.com</a><br /><a href="http://silverdragon.etsy.com/">SilverDragon.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://kelliope.etsy.com/">Kelliope.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><a href="http://asilomarworks.etsy.com/">http://asilomarworks.etsy.com/</a> </div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.IvoryArts.etsy.com">IvoryArts.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.bazzerkkelly.etsy.com">www.bazzerkkelly.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://ninadesigns.etsy.com">ninadesigns.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://baxtershouse.etsy.com/">baxtershouse.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.ThatsHeadley.etsy.com">ThatsHeadley.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://alexandrasjewelry.etsy.com/">alexandrasjewelry.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.alianadesigns.etsy.com">alianadesigns.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://dewonapetal.etsy.com/">DewOnAPetal.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://dbrowndesigns.etsy.com/">DBrownDesigns.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://darlingdesigns.etsy.com/">DarlingDesigns.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.loftylady.etsy.com/">LoftyLady.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.emilygems.etsy.com">emilygems.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><a href="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/Jewelry%20Group/jaja.etsy.com">jaja.etsy.com</a></div><div align="left"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34652877-115864185419389948?l=etsyjewelryartisans.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Giftbearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11698066439644185753noreply@blogger.com1
