Etsy Day – Wall Street Journal Article

On Friday, April 24, Etsians came together to promote “Etsy Day” and had amazing results.  The day was big enough to even get the attention of the Wall Street Journal.

The day was a success for Etsy.com because, as the Journal reported, the “Ebay of handmade crafts” received “a huge dose of buzz for free.”

For much of the day on Friday the 24th, “#etsyday” was the top-trending topic on Twitter.  This was used to promote Etsy Day – and ended up getting everyone on Twitter buzzing about Etsy.

The article discusses the force behind Etsy Day.  Susan Schumann, a 37-year-old teacher and photographer in Newport, Rhode Island, sells on Etsy and started the entire idea rolling.

Check out the article from the Wall Street Journal coverage of Etsy!

Congrats to Etsy sellers, Etsy.com, and Susan Schumann for the awesome promotion of Etsy to the community!
