BNRs

BNR stands for buy and replace, and it is an awesome way to get yourself some sales! And if you are like me and struggling to get your sales numbers up this is a great way to do it! I was in a BNR for two days and got TWO sales out of it. 🙂

A BNR is a treasury set up by a curator. This curator has to stay active the whole time the bnr is open. ok so here is how it works.

The curator will set up the treasury with people who want to play.

To get your shop into the treasury you have to buy an item from one of the stores featured.

once you have made a purchase from one of the stores an item from your store replaces the store you bought something from.

hmm… not sure if that made sense… here is a quick version…

lets say you are shop a and the store you are buying something from is shop b.

1. you buy an item from shop B (usually any item from their store)

2. you comment and tell the curator you bought from shop B

3. the curator will replace shop B with shop A in the treasury

Because then someone else will try to buy you out so they can get in too.

It’s a very productive circle. 🙂

You also get into convosations with people when you are commenting on a BNR and this is a great way to promote your store!

I have been struggling for so long to get those first few sales and I have tried so many of the “tips and tricks” people write on blogs and books and I have gotten such a quick result from participating in BNRs.

When you are in the treasuries section on etsy just search BNR and several will come up.

I have gotten involved with a team called ThE tWiSt BNR TeAm. (search it and join it!) The captain of this team runs awesome BNRs. 

I think I have probably gotten a lot of you quite confused so please if you have any questions please post them below and I will do all I can to answer them. 🙂
