So you're looking to be featured on Instagram for free? That's right -
we're anxiously rounding up amazing hand makers from across Canada to
share their products. We make the process super simple, but we also look
for a few things that will help you get picked.
You'll notice there are a few rules:
1. You must FOLLOW US (@handmadecanada) on Instagram.
2. You must have handmade items and currently reside & sell in CANADA.
3. If you are selected, you will repost our "I've been
featured on Handmade Canada" image in both your feed and story, and TAG
US.
4. We will choose a photo from your Instagram. Your product PHOTOS MUST BE YOURS and not owned by a photographer. By participating you are giving us permission to repost any product photos on your Instagram.
5. Your feature can be taken down at any time without
notice. We will also remove your feature if you do not fulfill any of
the conditions listed above.
But,
that still doesn't guarantee you a spot on the list. We want to feature
you and help you get there, so here are some tips to help get your
images chosen.
1.
Make sure your photos are bright, clear and clutter free. White space
around your products is a good idea. We want your product to stand out
and not get lost in the image.
2.
Don't put a watermark on your photos. We understand that watermarks
help prevent people from stealing your images, but unless they are done
very discreetly, they can take away from your product and not look
genuine on our feed.
3.
Don't add text to your photos. We love that you have great sales or
want to get a message across, but those photos won't work so well for
us.
4.
Show us something unique. You obviously have an amazing product that
sells - show us. We want to see what makes you unique in your pictures.
That's it really. If you're looking for more inspiration, just take a peek at our current feed. It's bright, cheery and we can't wait to have you join it.
