Simply Shiny Life

One of my latest Collections on Artfire. This one is called Warm Winter White and features creamy winter white themed. I really like the warmth of the creams in this one and there are some really, really fantastic items offered by Artfire sellers in this color palette.  And I adore the clutch that is featured in this grouping. I may have to kidnap it for myself.

One of my latest Collections on Artfire. This one is called Vintage Finds and features some really fabulous vintage items for sale from Artfire Studio Owners. Two items that were featured have already sold, which tells me that Artfire is becoming a pretty good venue for vintage items too.

Sell handmade, supplies and vintage on Artfire for $5.95 a month. And less than 2 days left to opt in.

Artfire is offering a heck of a deal to shop owners in order to fund some future improvements, pay for advertising and generally grow the site. The deal has changed as EVERYONE who opts in by midnight on 9/30 will be locked in at $5.95 a month flat fee. If you don’t sign up now this deal goes away. Forever.

There aren’t any minimum sign ups to activate the $5.95 price. The only requirement is that you open at least a basic shop (FREE) and opt in for a Pro studio by midnight 9/30. Don’t miss out.

Seriously… that’s less than 20 cents a day.

One of my latest Collections on Artfire. This one is called Danger Will Robinson and features lots of robots, robot art and space themed items from Artfire Studio Owners. (Not that I am a geek or anything or even like this kind of stuff. ha!)

Well, it’s a done deal. Sign up before 10/1 and be activated at Pro Studio level at $5.95 a month. That’s 20 cents a day for all the tools and great stuff available for Artfire Sellers. But you have to sign up before 10/1 (which technically means by 9/30) because on 10/1 this great deal is over. Forever. And the monthly price for Pro Artfire sellers reverts to $15.95 a month.

Here’s the blurb from Kevin, the Director of site seo:
“The ArtFire Group Deal will be activated on 10/1/2010. All members who have signed up for the deal BEFORE 10/1/2010 will lock in their PRO rate at $5.95. Once the group deal is activated on 10/1/2010 the $5.95 rate will not be available to new sign ups. Any new members who did not sign up by 10/1/2010 for the group deal will be able to do so at a higher locked rate for the remainder of the beta exit promotion.”

What are you waiting for? If you don’t already have an Artfire Basic Shop, sign up for one. Then head to the group deal link and sign it up. On 10/1, your Basic shop will be converted to a Pro shop for $5.95 a month. Sweet.

Here’s a podcast explaining too: Artfire Group Deal Podcast

Artfire is offering a heck of a deal to shop owners in order to fund some future improvements, pay for advertising and generally grow the site. It kind of operates like Groupon… a minimum number of peeps need to show interest before the deal becomes live.

Here’s a blurb from the site:
ArtFire will be exiting beta very shortly and to celebrate we’re offering, for a limited time only, the chance for up to 50,000 members to lock-in a Pro account for $5.95/month. The initial deal does have a few conditions; mainly that we need a minimum of 20,000 people to opt in at the $5.95 rate before we can give anyone this incredible rate. We want to be very clear, by opting in you are not getting a $5.95/month Pro account right away. Your information is securely stored and will not be charged unless the deal is on. If we don’t meet the minimum threshold, nobody gets a $5.95 account, your credit card isn’t charged, and your existing account and any associated subscriptions will not be affected.

Seriously… that’s less than 20 cents a day.
