New Ways To Promote

It almost seems like it happened overnight, but Own The Hour has taken off quite rapidly since it started a couple of weeks ago.

For only FIFTY cents, you reserve a slot displaying one of your items for the hour. Good luck trying to nab a spot, they are filling up quickly.  I know one person who got a sale directly as a result.  The site is still in the beta stage so more features will be coming soon.

OwnTheHour purchases advertising on Facebook, Twitter, through Google, and other direct advertising partners that directly targets DIY and Craft related websites to attract sellers and Shopping, Gift, and Consumer based sites targeting keywords relating to handmade, unique gifts, and art to attract buyers.

Another place to up for promotion grabs is the new forum on Scoutie Girl.  Jan set this up so everyone can post their sales, events, contest, giveaways, directly on the website and it is super easy to sign up.   This is a very well visited site so you would be a fool to not take advantage.

Well it's the day before Thanksgiving which many of us I believe celebrate. Have safe travels if you're hitting the road. Enjoy your turkey or tofurkey if you will. :)  I will be spending it with my parents. Thanksgiving is probably the one day you can drive into Manhattan and find decent parking so I think we're good.
