oops

I haven't been keeping up with my 30 days to a better shop project. I've participated in some days I just haven't found the time to blog about it.

I am pretty excited I have sold two more items in the past week. YaY! Go me!

30 Days to a better shop day 2

Today's challenge was to rewrite our store announcements. I wanted to shorten mine up so you could see my featured items right away. I'm not really sure its my final choice but here is the before and after.
Before:
Welcome, Thanks for stopping by my shop. Have a look around I'm sure you'll find something you'll love or the perfect gift for someone else. Remember to check back often.

**SHIPPING** If I charge you over a dollar extra for shipping I will refund your money back to you. Shipping cost includes the actual cost of shipping and the packaging.**

30 Days to a better shop

I've decided to follow along with http://www.christinaperdue.com/blog/ on her quest for a better shop. I'll take all the help I can get.
Day 1. Set goals.

October goals:

  • Sell at least 2 items this month
  • list or re-list at least 3 times a week
  • Blog every other day
  • Post at least one myspace bulletin a week
  • Add more pictures to flickr
  • Make enough product to be able to do a craftfair

Long term goals:
  • Continue to be able to stay home with my children by selling my own crafts
  • Start participating in craft fairs
  • Wholesale/consignment

That's it for now. YaY for goals!!
