I'm not sure how many people are aware of this great website. But if you haven't heard of
The Sampler then go check it out now. I've been meaning to contribute to it for a while now, and plan to by the next due date. Basically it's a place where indy artists and crafters can contribute samples of their work to be distributed to subscribers, members of the press, and other contributors. You can choose to send in 25, 50, 75, 100, or 200+ samples of your work. Sending the minimum amount of 25 will get you a sampler package in return. The more samples you contribute the more benefits you receive from the program. They explain it all real well here.
You can also choose to have your samples sent to members of the press, exclusively, for a small fee, or free if you contribute a larger number of samples.

It seems like a fantastic way to promote your work, which is something I am always looking to do. I'd love to get some feedback from other Etsy shop owners or other artists that have contributed to The Sampler, and what they think of it. You can get an idea of what sort of items are contributed here. And there are also links to past months samples on the same page.

If you don't want to contribute to The Sampler, there is still an option of subscribing to be able to receive a sampling of goodies. The cost is $26.00 for 1 month and $71.00 for 3 months. Spaces are limited to how many samples are contributed each month.
