Inventory Reduction Sale- Name Your Own Price

I have been getting ready to introduce new items into my shop for the new year. Unfortunately there are older items in their way and I cannot post new items till the old ones are gone. So I have decided to have a Name Your Own Price Sale!

During this sale you will be able to choose your item from any of my categories except the Sale categories. After you have chosen the item or items that you would like, convo me with your prices. I will make sure the prices are reasonable and then respond. After approved I will edit the listing with your new price and reserve it for only you!!

You can suggest a price for one or multiple items! Most prices will be accepted!

Now Go Shopping in my Etsy Shop!

Getting Ready for the New Year

After everything that has happened over the past few days and months I have decided to get serious about my crochet and design business. While I am looking for a new job I am going to be organizing myself in a way that I can pay off my loans and credit cards and start saving money in order to start my own business.

This will take me some time to achieve but with some persistence and a lot of organization I will achieve my goal. In the next week I plan to come up with a list of things that I will need to get done in order to make this vision possible.

I have already started by downloading a free version of Quick Books. I will be using this for all my book keeping now, personal and business. This way I can see everything I am spending and everything I owe. Starting from today I will be as organized as I should be in order to operate a business.

The next step is to do a full inventory of my Etsy Shop. I will be having a sale after Christmas to decrease this inventory and after the sale I will close my shop and have a full count of all items for 2009.

During this process I will have to look for a new job to support myself in the mean time. Quite honestly I am tired of looking for a job and am going to try to find something that may not be the most rewarding, but will pay the bills.

In the next couple days look for more post on my full list of things to complete, my business plan and hopefully my new job!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Some new Stuff on Etsy

This past week I took a bunch of items out of my booth at the gift shop to make room for some new items. These items I think were either too big for the shop or I priced them too high to begin with. They now have new prices and great pictures, that I think will help them sell.

I have posted four so far in my shop, a red and green throw, a trivet, a set of coasters, and a green and white afghan. They are all pictured in this post.

I am planning on removing items from my booth at the end of each season. I will lower the prices and post them on Etsy. This will hopefully decrease my inventory as well as promote online sales.

I am also going to take some business classes. The University of Akron offers some continuing education classes. There are a bunch I would love to take but I think I am going to start with How to Start Your Own Business. I think It will help me with my crocheting and Photography as well as my Interior Design.

Getting rid of inventory

Today I am going through all the itrems I have in my inventory and repricing and reposting them on Etsy. I was actually surprised by how much stuff I had on hand that was not listed. So over the next couple days I will be listing like crazy until everything is up and running.

I will be lowering all prices as I relist. So you will be getting some great deals.

Also I would love to get feed back, good and bad! I would love to know what i should make more of or stop making all together.

Thanks for your help, in advance!
