Selling Advertisement Banners!

Hey all! I've started selling Customized Link Banners in my Etsy shop! I've got a lot of experience with making graphics and I'm now offering to share that experience with you!
Why are link banners useful? Let's see...
1. Draws customer's attention and makes them want to visit your shop.
2. Easy advertising! Just paste the img code and voila, your mark is left for all to see!
3. Opens up whole new worlds of advertising! Project Wonderful ads, blog ads, website ads, and more!
4. Stick 'em on your myspace page or website with a textarea so people can paste them right onto THEIR myspace pages, and thus reach even MORE potential customers!
5. Brand name recognition - the more your logo is out there, the more known your shop becomes!
Shall I go on?
Here are some examples of banners I've made for Omg! Lia? (note: some of these are animated, which might not show up in blogger)

The Sampler


So, I'm branching out my promoting this month and sending in some items for the April The Sampler! I sent in 30 button earrings - I'm starting small just to see if it's a total waste of money before I dive right in. I'm not sure how much money I spent total, but it's not more than $15. I can't wait to get my Sampler too.

For those of you who haven't heard of it, The Sampler is a package filled with DIY goodies. The items are all donated by crafters looking for some promotion, and you pay the money to cover the shipping costs, website costs, etc. It's a really neat little program and I'm crossing my fingers that I get some sales! Those of you who can't donate should totally buy one.
PS How kickass are my current biz cards?

Promo packs for craft fairs: send me yours!


I'm doing 3 craft shows this summer, and I really want to help promote other crafters! Here's my plan:

-3x4" ziplocs filled with smaller promos (perfect size for biz cards with samples attached, etc)
I'm going to toss in one of these bags with every purchase, and encourage lookers to take one free from a big promo basket.
Also, they're all going to have a different card facing out the front and back of the bag, so that some people are going to *choose* the bag with YOUR card showcased, just because YOUR card looks so freaking cool to them. Those people are more likely to go to YOUR site ;)

-Other promo items
I have a bunch of freebies that don't fit into the little bags, so these are going to be sitting in a big basket with a "FREE, PLEASE TAKE ONE!" sign! If you have bigger promos, your items will be included in this lot.

Fair dates are May 3, May 20, and June 20-21, so I'll need them before then if you want to be included.
I'm looking to make as many as possible, because I'll use these until they run out and send any leftovers in packages!
