How To Be Featured
On The Guide

To apply to be a featured artist/shop on The Guide, just become a fan on Facebook, follow The Guide in Google friend connect OR NetworkedBlogs, and Twitter, then send the link to your shop in an email to feature@thehandmadegiftguide.com, with your shop name in the subject line! It is that easy! I will contact you and send you the info that I need from you.


The only thing I ask of you in return after you are featured, is that you post one of my buttons somewhere on your blog if you have one, and that you use your social media (facebook, twitter, myspace, blog, etc...)  to announce your feature in The Guide. That way we can all help to spread the word about The Handmade Gift Guide, and thus promote each other! I look forward to meeting you, and discovering your heartmade handmade gifts. 

If you would like to offer a giveaway with your feature let me know! 


*I am always looking for handmade gifts for all categories. I also have a monthly post featuring handmade gifts that bring awareness to causes, and shops that donate proceeds to causes. If you are interested in participating in this feature, email me at anne@thehandmadegiftguide.com for more information. 

** There is currently a 3 month waiting list to be featured. Please still apply now to be featured, and you will be added to the waiting list. ** 

Please realize that I get a lot of requests from shops wanting to be featured everyday... I am doing 3-4 features a week. I am also going to be doing mini features where 2 or 3 artists are showcased together. You may be featured in this way. I also need to spread out the jewelry shops. If you are a jewelry shop owner, your wait time might be a little bit longer. I will always email you when your feature posts. xo


You may also add your shop to The Handmade 
Gift Guide's New Directory. Here's more info...
