The VFG board is pleased to announce a new promotion and selling opportunity. Hopefully, by now everyone has seen the fabulous Spring 2007 Vintage Inspiration that Maggie/denisebrain has so brilliantly put together. Since the Vintage Inspiration feature was published, many featured items have sold. In an effort to keep it current we are inviting VFG trade and public board members to showcase their own 'Inspirations' on this forum. Beginning this Wednesday (4th of April) a weekly thread highlighting each particular look will be created for you to post your offerings to - with picks of the week being featured on the VFG Blog each Tuesday beginning April 10. This will continue each week for as long as we feel it remains fresh and relevant. The VFG Bog spot is expertly maintained by Justine/ikonic vintage.
How it will work:
Dated threads will be posted to this board every Wednesday beginning this week April 4, for each of the VI themes
Participants may submit no more than 3 photos per sale item, with a link to their website, auction listing, sellers’ page, ebay store, etc…
Everyone should keep in mind that the blog featuring the items will begin each Tuesday of the following week, so you may want to start your auction listings accordingly. Sunday or Monday for example would be good. This will allow almost a week to submit your items and get them ready to list.
Vintage Inspiration picks of the week will be posted to the VFG blog each Tuesday beginning April 10.
The blog will link back to the threads so that anyone viewing the blog can check out all of the submitted items.
There will also be a link from each VI page to the VFG blog to “continue to shop the trends”
A reminder from Justine concerning the links;
If your item is up and ready for sale - please include a link directly to the auction or directly to the page on your website where the item is. Since this promo is all about the *exact* items shown here, I'd prefer to link directly to the item for sale as opposed to just your general website. Plus, it's taking me a lot of time to go through the things and find direct links where applicable.
Secondly if you post your items before they go up (and please do!) - please come back and revise your post with links when you DO put them up for sale. Ideally the latest to put the items up would be Monday night as the post is going to be done on Tuesdays.
And lastly, no worries AT ALL about the pic sizes - Blogger automatically resizes, so don't waste your time worrying about how big they are. The bigger the clearer (however try and refrain from ultra huge poster size ones that screw up the board! lol).
If you have any questions, please post them here.
This is a great opportunity to get your buyers to really 'shop the trends' vintage style, so let's see what you've got!
