March Merchandising Themes

Hello lovely teammates!!

In an effort to make our Treasury-Making more successful, I have gleaned the important points from Etsy's March Merchandising Themes. You can see the list below. Remember to tag your treasuries with the appropriate themes from below. This will give you an even better chance of Etsy Admin seeing your treasury!!

These should also help you restock your shop with items that are in line with February's trends. Thanks for all you do, and happy creating!!

A big THANK YOU and welcome to new Team Members!!

Hello everyone!! This is Jessica again. I just wanted to tell you all THANK YOU for being so awesome! Looking in Etsy's Treasury, there are over 200 Selection Perfection treasuries! And, we've only been doing this for a few days!

Please remember to tag all of your treasuries "SelectPerfect" and, you can start tagging your items in your shop with "SPgroup."

Also, please remember to look at the team list to the left. Some of our members have multiple shops, and you should try to use only one of their shops in each treasury. It's kind of an unspoken Etsy Treasury etiquette :)

Thank you for all that you're doing. I think we are off to an amazing start! And, now, a BIG WELCOME to new members!!
