We Have a New Board and It's Not Like the Others!

Yes, our Customer Appreciation board is up and running!  There are many great deals being offered by the shops and you can find those on the coupon codes list.  I have been trying to make sure that it is on each page so no one will have to hunt for a coupon code.  Each purchase also enters you in a raffle!  4 prizes will be given away at the end of the month.  Let me show you what our fabulous shops donated this month...

From Art By Kelly, a lovely set of 15 gift tags and a bookmark!

From The Shop At Pooh Corner, a fun set of 4 mini Hello Kitty stamps!

From CLeasBeadwork, a beautiful set of beaded butterfly barrettes!

From Cosmic Cauldron, a fabulous set of 8 tea light candles (scent to be determined)!

You will find all of their shops featured on the board.  You will also find:

Nonoluna - Beautiful Beaded Jewelry

Agnes of Bohemia - Lovely Vintage Postcards

Creations By AAJ - Stylish Bags

Mind Body and Soul Soaps - Fabulous Bath and Beauty Products

Live Upcycled - Eco Friendly Jewelry

Birdlegs Photography - Stunning Prints and Cards

Idle Hands Yarn - Large Selection of Eco Friendly Supplies

Rocco's Country Spice - Awesome BBQ Sauce and spices

Whimsy Woodcrafts - Wonderful Wooden Signs and Magnets (and custom/personalized orders!)

As you can see, we have a grand selection of shops to chose from.  So stop in and take a peak.  There is nothing wrong with a little "window" shopping.

Love and Peace,

The Customer's Board - A New Kind Of Bella's BNS Board

Here at Bellas BNS we have two functions.  First, we are here to support each other.  Second, we are here to help each shop succeed.  We take both responsibilites very seriously and make every team decision with those two things in mind.  It is no secret that we love BNS and BNR boards, which is why we run a BNS board six days a week and a BNR board every Thursday.  We also do a team challenge that includes a Weekend BNS Bash the first weekend of every month.  We love running these boards and they will always be a part of Bellas.  We are a BNS team, after all.

However, BNS and BNR boards are aimed at other Etsy shops.  We love other Etsy shops and welcome them on every board we put up, including this new board, but we feel like we are ignoring a very important group of people on Etsy...  the customers, duh!!  There is a substantial community of customers on Etsy that don't have a shop and don't have items to list on a board.  While the BNS and BNR boards are fabulous for Etsy shops, they do little to serve customers.  Because we love customers, we are going to start running a new kind of board (in addition the BNR and BNS boards).  One that the average Etsy customer can purchase from.

Why would a customer want to buy from a board like this?  First, there will be 16 fabulous shops that will be just one click away and all located in one easy to shop from place.  Second, each purchase will buy that customer a raffle ticket for prizes.  Each board will run for an entire month and 4 prizes will be given away at the end of each month.  There will be a blog post announcing a new board and detailing the prizes on the 1st of each month, including pictures.  And an album on our Facebook page for the prizes and links to the shops that donated the prize.  Not only will the customer get to purchase a wonderful handmade or vintage item, but they will get the chance to win another wonderful handmade or vintage item!

We hope that the customers and other Etsy shops will have as much fun with this board as we have had planning it.  We are all very excited about it and look forward to making some new customers and friends.

Love and Peace,

Luci
