Donations wanted for journalist sample boxes!

Hi there Etsy-ers, it's Alex here from Propeller Prints. I'm going to put together a press release (with the help of my lovely PR contacts) with a bit of info about the Crafty Ireland group and try and get some publicity in the lead-up to Christmas. It would be fab if we could get the word out about the treasure trove of Etsy wonder for Christmas pressies.



At this stage I am thinking of sending a selection of samples to a handful of journos (about 4, mostly in the major newspapers/weekend magazines) and it would be great if anyone in the group could contribute some small items to the sample packs. I realise for lots of the group your items are high-value so it may be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps a lovely coupon for a discount at your shop or similar could be an idea instead. The press release will aim to highlight the breadth and variety of work in the group and promote the Crafty Ireland blog (and of course then the link to everyone's Etsy shops).

I'd like to try and get something out in the next week or two, so if you would like to have something included in one of the sample packs I'd be really grateful - and obviously include a label or packaging on your piece with your Etsy address and that sort of thing.

If you are interested, email me at alex@propellerprints.com or convo me via Etsy and I can give you my address details. Thanks so much! Any questions, just shout!

Alex
