I just stumbled upon your blog and I...Hi there!<br /><br />I just stumbled upon your blog and I'd like to give you another perspective on this to think about. As a wife to an Etsy shop owner, and a lover of all things handmade you should really see how often the shop owners are begged for free stuff. It would completely shock and amaze you.<br /><br />I think this particular shop owner simply snapped at the fact that once again someone wanted something for nothing and you may have caught her at a bad time. Sure, the email response wasn't exactly the most polite but I really want to stress to your readers how it really is for the shop owners.<br /><br />My husband has a candle shop and a few times a day he gets emails from blogs wanting gift certificates, free samples, and donations. It's very much out of hand. Also, right in Etsy's TOS it states that shops are protected from such emails but nothing actually happens to those doing the mass emails. <br /><br />Yes, every single little bit of extra press counts but many of the shops are barely staying afloat in this economy and can't do giveaways weekly. <br /><br />Basically, I just had to take a second to not only let you know that I understand where you're coming from but also tell you that I understand where the shop owner is coming from. I bet if you would have sent your email to her on a different day the response would have been much different. I'd like to think that she doesn't react to her customers like that and I'm sure she has an explanation and is probably very sorry for coming across the way she did. <br /><br />I wish you lots of luck in your giveaway and blogging journey. I have a blast doing it myself.Serial Daterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722414304515124451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727671286643097417.post-60647709066404248342009-06-27T18:55:22.452-07:002009-06-27T18:55:22.452-07:00Maybe she was having a bad day.

I know fellow etsians are receiving a ton of these request lately and it becomes an issue giving away so many free things. <br />You have a nice blog though and I hope your following continues to grow.SueKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727671286643097417.post-58354547051607339412009-06-25T13:39:45.292-07:002009-06-25T13:39:45.292-07:00That response was completely uncalled for.

That is one shop that I will be avoiding.<br /><br />BTW I love the shops you profile on your blog. I plan on buying a couple of dresses from Pick Your Pocket and I wouldn't have heard of them if it wasn't for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665629507056116633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727671286643097417.post-59986802603321369052009-06-25T09:25:38.082-07:002009-06-25T09:25:38.082-07:00That is rude....my thing is if she really is a &qu...That is rude....my thing is if she really is a "SOMEbody" why did she even bother responding...if you don't mean anything to her?

That is just amazing to me that as a small business owner (who hasn't had many sales yet) that she wouldn't take every opportunity to get her name out there! Amazing! I just recently started following your blog and I love seeing what you feature! I LOVE all the cute things you find and although I haven't bought anything from your featured people yet, you can bet they will be in the back of my mind next time I need something!<br /><br />The whole reason people like to shop with small business owners is because of the customer service and the one-on-one customization and the friendliness. Doesn't sound like this owner will be offering that service. I would never shop somewhere that treats their potential customers that way.....did she ever stop to think of you as a potential customer who could also market her products in the process?<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about getting back to her either. Her attitude is not worth your time and she's even lucky that she got the free publicity that she did just by you mentioning her name.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369117008622884945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727671286643097417.post-49541704590359992912009-06-25T08:22:39.838-07:002009-06-25T08:22:39.838-07:00There's one in every crowd!
