Etsy and Storenvy Marketing Tools

So, for all you small biz and artists out there, I’ve found some things in Etsy and Storenvy you might like! We also use Spreadshirt for our T Shirts, but I might move to TeePublic, so I didn’t explore the SS options.

Etsy: You can add a “mini” store to your site by going to your Etsy admin area and clicking the Etsy Mini link towards the bottom. You can set up how many thumbnails you want and the size and then you get a link. Simply add the link to a page and voilà! You’ve got your Etsy on your site. Caveat: You cannot choose which items are displayed. If you have lots, like I do, it’s a drag because it is not showing my newest, but it’s still nice to have it on your site. Here is mine: http://misangela.com/etsy-shop/

Storenvy: You can add a Storenvy section to your FB page via an app that you add in your storenvy dashboard. Login, go to your admin area and click the FB tab at the top. Caveat: not all my pages showed up in the app settings. I wanted to add to IDS, but I only saw POAS and TEV. So I chose POAS and it added the app button to IDS, POAS and ThinkWeasel pages. Fortunately, it did not add it to the TEV page, which would have been a problem. So, a little wonky if you have many pages. But it works well otherwise and does, indeed, put your whole Storenvy shop on your FB page. Another caveat: it is a generic looking icon that is under Apps, so people will probably not know to click it. It also adds a Store link along the left hand side. Here is what it looks like: https://www.facebook.com/indigodragonstudios/app/335383991105/
