Stats!

Etsy has finally given us sellers some stats! We can now use google analytics with our shops so we'll actually know where our traffic is coming from. This is just so helpful! I'm looking forward to playing around with project wonderful ads and the like to see what kind of traffic I can drive to my shop.

In other news, a bunch of pendant making supplies have arrived and I am just itching to try my hand at pendants. I think a lot of my photos would make for pretty ones and I really hope they turn out as wonderfully as they are in my head.

Treasury!

I was featured in an Etsy treasury today, how exciting! I love love love that necklace that is featured beside my bracelet at the top there, it's so gorgeous. Thanks ClairesArtfulThings!

You can see the treasury here http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=31615 until it disappears on Friday. : )

hmm

I really, really want a macro lens. I feel like I would blog a lot more because I would have fresh, lovely photos to share much more often. I guess I should start saving up then. I'm guessing they're around $3-400 my goodness.

Hey there. New Year's always really jump starts and motivates me to improve myself. This year I want to focus on several areas. Most of all I really want to buckle down and build up my business. The past couple months have been good, I have been putting more effort into finding new venues to sell my items. I've done a couple craft shows, sold at the farmer's market several times, and got my mirrors into a local shop. Now is the time to really build up my etsy shop. I'm putting the prints into the jewelry shop, and I will be adding mirrors. I'm also excited to start making up some pendants and other small gifty items.

Tonight I've been a busy bee, made a new banner, and listed several new items. Once I get my shop in full gear I'll start getting organized and working on my promotional efforts. I really need to get an advertising budget too, haha, or else how will anyone ever find my little shop?
