Hocking Hills Team Etsy

Name: Hocking Hills Team Etsy
Search for items from this team: hockinghillsteam

Profile: Hocking Hills Team Etsy’s goal is to support one another in the practice and sale of our arts and crafts. We live in a region that is very artisan friendly and the group will look for ways to integrate itself into the area’s artisan and crafter community. The level of participation is up to each individual as we don’t want to place a burden of obligation on already busy people by mandating weekly chat participation, etc., but there will be opportunities to get together in person and show off our wares as well as online through our blog and group sites.

Membership is open to Etsy artisans in the Hocking Hills Region of Ohio and communities immediately adjacent.

Ohio and Its Neighbors Etsy Team

Name: Ohio and Its Neighbors Etsy Team

Profile: Region: Local - Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Pennsylvania




By starting this team, we hope to be able to have meetings in different locations in these states in order to bring together fellow Etsians to have face to face business discussions on a variety of topics that are relevant for handmade businesses. Many store owners have requested having these types of gatherings in which owners can come together to communicate and share business ideas. We hope to have guest speakers, bloggers, and more share information at our gatherings. Hopefully this will lead to the creation of more business owner teams all across the country to come together and help build and promote Etsy and the idea of handmade stores and creations. We would also like to include local brick and mortar businesses to these meetings to hopefully gain interest in adding handmade products to their stores and to also share their business insights as well with store owners.

Contact: shadesjewelry
How to Join: Those interested in joining should contact Dawn at shadesjewelry@aol.com or by sending a convo to shadesjewelry and give their Etsy store name and contact info (name, email) and their location

Meetings and Events: Our goal with this group is to hold meetings in these states in which business owners can come together and talk about their stores and running a handmade business. Events will hopefully be scheduled at least two-three times a year in each state and maybe more depending on the interest and demand for the gatherings. We would also like to see smaller groups hopefully evolve from this large group which could possibly meet on a more frequent basis. Team sales and other events will develop once the group gets started and off the ground!
