​We are more than just another doll group, we are a doll community that pulls together to help each other be seen.  With this past weekend of the October Fall Art Doll Exhibit and Sale we reached an 80% increase of new visits to our Doll Sale page with most of the traffic heading off to visit the individual Artist's Studio pages.  This was a 12% increase in reach from last year. 

That is amazing and shows the impact we can make when working together.  How that translates is that we had 600 new visits to the website with a BIG 206 unique views!  The IADR can't guarantee sales but we can guarantee we do our upmost to help get the word out and promote our amazing doll artists. 

The November Special Edition of the IADR Art Doll Magazine comes out mid-November.  Remember the Do What You Love pages and the Facebook Collage are free advertising spaces for IADR members --whether it is a work in progress or a finished piece that you want to debut.

Deadline for submitting anything for the magazine is November 1st.  If you have any questions, email me at [email protected].

Our IADR Fall Online Sale will begin this week. I will send out the link of the event/page Wednesday, October 22rd by 10 pm MST so that everyone will be able to start sharing on October 23rd when the  event will officially be LIVE.  The more everyone shares the link, the more the event is seen.

Even if you don't share the link, remember commenting or liking a post still helps the algorithm of having the event seen.  So, share a little love if you please *smiling*.

​Myself, I'll be sharing it on Facebook and with several doll groups on Facebook.  I will also post it on Instagram, Bluesky, and Youtube. 

2026 IADR Convention Workshops -  Still working on editing the tape from our last Planning meeting, but also working on getting our Special Edition of the IADR Magazine for the Convention ready for publication.

and fill out the form so we can reserve you a space!  

​Reminder:  Fall Online Sale -  For those still wishing to participate, please email me an image of the doll you wish to showcase on the Sale Page gallery preferably by October 15th. (Last Call for Deadline.)
                                                               
For those new to how we operate the Fall Online Sale - A Fall Sales Page of all those who participated in the People's Choice event and anyone else that is wanting to participate in the Fall Online Sale is created with their Artist's Studio pages featured in the Event.

We then send out the link of the event/page when it goes live on October 23rd.  The more the link is shared, the more the event is seen.

What is VidIQ?  It is a new application that helps us rank our videos for better reach especially for us that work with the Youtube social media platform.

I couldn't wait to try it out after Bambi told me some of the advantages to it.  Hopefully this will help our IADR Youtube channel as well as my own.  Did you know the IADR had a Youtube channel?

Yes, you can see past shows or events there and once a month Bambi and I do a podcast.  Check out this podcast about What is VidIQ?  Click the link - ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIvh2pqD2Qw&list=PLrtdDHQkjjJuWLM17FetvOfXnI1lyP0yN
