A SECOND Meeting for the VINTAGE site on Etsy within Etsy

Posted by Gabreial on May 19, 2008 at 11:55am in Selling Vintage on Etsy

If you attended the meeting on Friday with Matt, you may have heard that they are planning to create a site for vintage, but the key is that it will be a site within the Etsy home site.

I for one am very excited about this. Not only will vintage have it's own button at the top, but so will Supplies.

Anyone who comes to Etsy will see these buttons and then can go to the site (that will probably look just like Etsy) but only with all of our vintage.

Any thoughts about this? Any suggestions?

WELL, as soon as I posted this, I found this announcement in the Storque!

A second meeting!!

I am still curious about how many people may have stumbled on to vintage vs. how many will seek it out. But, overall, that is less important than just getting us back some business.
Hope everyone is hanging in there!; ▶ Reply to This

The handwriting is on the wall. Any business that ignores the re-cycle surge may eventually pay dearly in the future.

Our time and money are precious..So is our EARTH.; ▶ Reply to This

We're having another meeting this Friday, yes? It's not in the treehouse schedule though. Is the time 12:00 like the last time?; ▶ Reply to This

Not sure why it's not on the labs schedule page. It does say 12:00. I assume that's Brooklyn time. :); ▶ Reply to This

Yes, they're all EST so it will be 9am by you (eek!)

There's also the tagging workshop this afternoon, also, at 5:30 Eastern.
That one I was sure of.; ▶ Reply to This

I will be attending this second meeting as well.; ▶ Reply to This
