Brides visit the Real Etsy Wedding blog because they want to see how other brides have incorporated Etsy products into their wedding.  If you have an Etsy Wedding Shop and want to get your products in front of the brides who shop on Etsy you’ll want to become a Real Etsy Weddings blog sponsor.  Unlike other blogs, we don’t clutter up our blog with banner ads .  We recognize that most people who read blogs focus their attention on the blog posts and not on the banner ads that appear to the side of the blog post.  For that reason we offer 3 sponsorship levels, that offer highly focused and effective ways to promote your Etsy shop.  See below the chart for a full list of features and benefits of each promotion type.

Features & Benefits of Each Typy of Promotion

Free Giveaway Wednesdays Feature:  All sponsors are invited to promote their shops through our  ”Free Giveaway Wednesday’s post feature”.  This is where a sponsor donates product from their shop to be given away in a competition.  This is a great way to showcase your products for no cost on the blog.

The Bliss List:  Etsy shops that have had their product featured and photographed in a Real Weddings post can pay to have that real weddding placed in the appropriate category of  ”The Bliss List“, our searchable listing of previously published posts.  All of our posts are tagged with the products that they feature.  They can then appear by product category on “The Bliss List” to make it easier for interested brides to search and find the posts that contain the Etsy products that they are interested in learning more about.  For instance, if a bride is interested in seeing a Real Wedding that features decorations available on Etsy, and you are an Etsy shop that sells decorations, you’ll want to make sure that any real wedding that your products appear in is listed in the “Weddings that show Decorations“ category of “The Bliss List”.  A full list of the categories that make up “The Bliss List” can be found directly to the left in the side bar.  It isn’t unusual to have your products featured in more than one wedding.  Regardless of the number of Real Weddings that your products appear in, you only pay one flat fee of $20.00/month to have all of those real weddings show up in the search results.

Shop Spotlights:  Whether your shops products have been featured in a Real Wedding or not, you’ll want to have a “Shop Spotlight” shined on your shop.  A ”Shop Spotlight” is a sponsored blog post or an Advertorial that  appears in our “Shop Spotlight” category.  These posts appear more like a customized PR feature than an advertisement and focus on your shop and your products.  They’re a great way for a shop to generate buzz about the products they sell.  The posts will be clearly marked as paid content but will be published just like all of our other blog posts for Etsy buyers to read. The cost to be featured in a “Shop Spotlight” blog post starts at just $ 75.00. 

Shop Spotlights in The Bliss List: After a “Shop Spotlight” has been published, the featured Etsy Shop has the option to have the post placed in the appropriate category of “The Bliss List” to appear along side posts about Real Weddings, Real Brides-to-be and other Shop Spotlights.  Gold level sponsors can have their “Shop Spotlight”  placed and kept on the list  for $ 30.00/month.  Why would you want to place your shop spotlight onto “The Bliss List”?  Because a Shop Spotlight is a blog post that’s all about you and your products.  For example, lets say you have a shop that sells Cake Toppers.  Now imagine a bride searching for posts about Cake Toppers available on Etsy being presented with not only Real Weddings that feature Cake Toppers but also a post that features nothing but information about YOUR shop and  YOUR Cake Toppers!  Note:  A maximum of 3 Shop Spotlights are allowed in each product category so contact me today to make sure that a sponsored post about your shop gets written and placed on “The Bliss List”.
