Introducing #4FolksyFinds – like Folksy Friday but with a twist
We love hearing ideas from our community and were delighted when Gwen from Quirky and Boho Designs approached us with her take on Folksy Friday: 4FolksyFinds.
If you’re new to Folksy and don’t know what Folksy Friday is, here’s a quick recap. Every Friday, Folksy sellers create a social media post compiled of eight of their favourite finds on Folksy – all linked by a theme. Find out more about Folksy Friday here – https://blog.folksy.com/folksy-friday
Gwen’s idea for 4FolksyFinds is that instead of the eight images you need to make a Folksy Friday, you just choose four (one of which can be your own product) and post it whenever you want. This creates a lovely little window, perfect for online window shopping (and hopefully some real shopping too!) but with half the work.
Gwen says she came up with the concept of 4FolksyFinds because she loves the support that artists and crafters on Folksy offer each other through Folksy Friday, but she also understands that life gets busy and not everyone has the time to compile a board of eight items. Her hope is that this mini version will make it even easier to take part, and that will encourage more people to participate and share their curations, any day of the week.
