Promotional Frenzy Team Newsletter!

We are moving up in the technology world!  Our Promotional Frenzy Team on etsy is growing fast!  We have close to 200 members now, and about 40 more waiting to be accepted.  The limits of Etsy's team format make it extremely hard to keep everyone in the loop.

We all have vacations, and long work hours and things that make it hard for us to read 100 pages a day to know everything.  We do try to highlight the important things at the top of each daily thread, but still if someone isn't around for a few days they even miss those. 

So how can we all stay informed??
Well I started a team newsletter!  This will now be a REQUIREMENT to be on the team.  The newsletter will be sent anytime we have changes, or upcoming events happening.  For instance, we decided to have everyone add their shop items to the Promo Frenzy shop favorites.... we would send a newsletter to your e-mail address letting you know exactly how to do this, why we are doing it, and how long you have to get it done.

It will make it so much easier.  Of course this doesn't mean you shouldn't come to the daily threads and support each other... interact and be positive, supportive teammates.  But it will limit confusion and greatly help with time constraints!

To sign up go here:
http://etsy.us2.list-manage1.com/subscribe?u=84a618ee566e2ee23e380fbe4&id=c2332d6745

We will not be giving this list out to anyone, it is not for personal agendas and sales and such.  Strictly for being able to disseminate information efficiently and to have less confusion.

Also, on a very exciting 2nd note.  I have also created a team newsletter for people to sign up to be notified of our team BNR's... or if we have other special events in the future.
This way we don't have to convo people via the Etsy system.  For now we still may need to do some convo's until our subscribers list grows.

Put this link on your blog, your facebook, tweet it, share it via convo to your friends.. help spread the word that will will deliver in their inbox our upcoming events!

We should also repost this information for our BNR newsletter during our BNR's and throughout our daily threads!

I hope you guys are excited about this feature, it should improve our results, and minimize our efforts.

THANKS!
