About 10 of my team members are all selling together at a craft show tomorrow and promoting ETSY big time. Go Disciples of Etsy- Oklahoma Etsy Street Team. We look to have another 10 or so that aren't selling, just stopping by to say Hi. I love my team!

My bestfriend and I are joining together. All the members of Etsy want to watch it grow and be a part of it so we should do our part and join a team to learn more on how to spread the word and advertise whats going on. Thanks for the article, I hope the numbers keep piling high!

andreapratt - not by any means! there are teams all over the world, and anyone can join a "global" team, meaning sellers united not by location, but by interest, who meet up virtually. it's so nice to see so many positive comments about teams! etsy teams are amazing!
