Lost of new stuff!

The past couple of days I have been vigorously adding my craft shop items to my etsy shop. I am up to 33 items in my shop and have quite a few more to add. It is a slow process because I only have a couple of hours a day after I get home from work.

Today though, I was off and was able to post more. Here are their links:

I would love to get some feedback. I took some more up-close shots and put some of my items on a grey background.

Have a Nice Day!!!

Good Bye Gift Shoppe

I have been renting a booth at The River City Gift Shoppe in Copley, Ohio for the past 6 months and have found it less than profitable. I have decided that I cannot afford to pay rent for something that is not proving to be beneficial to my business. I thought that maybe I would have more luck if people could seem my items in person but that was not the case.

I think it doesn't help that the economy is not the greatest. Even at Dillard's I am seeing the affects. We are the slowest we have ever been during an extra 30% off sale. Usually we have quite a bit of traffic in the store during this sale but that has not been the case this time.

I hope that taking everything out of the gift shop and putting it online I will be able to make up for the loss in profit. I at least want to break even this summer. I have quite a bit of small items in the shop and will probably be adding a couple of pages to my Etsy shop. It's going to be a lot of work getting all of these things online but I think it will be better then having them sit in a booth.

I should be adding the pictures to my blog as I post them on the site. I'm doing a lot more advertising now and marketing. I am really putting some effort into this. Even more than before. I think not only is my business maturing but I am as well.

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!
