So, for a while there, I was worried about the state of the economy affecting my business. Turns out...that's not going to be a problem! (crossing fingers, don't want to jinx things)
For several months, I have had low sales for my jewelry. My guess is that this reflected the fact that for several months last year, I wasn't making a whole lot of new pieces to sell. This has started to change now that I am creating more! The month of April has been one of my best months ever for sales! I am anxiously awaiting the check from last month's settlement, as I will probably spend it all on getting my car fixed :(
My findings store on etsy continues to do well. I haven't seen several of my big-order repeat buyers, but I continue to have new ones, and some new repeat customers!
My jewelry store on etsy has started to see some sales, which is great! Still worried that it might be a flop, as there is SO MUCH jewelry competition on etsy!
Business at Manifest Beads continues to bloom. We are having some of our best months ever!
AND, word of mouth and networking with people that I know seems to help as well. One of my neighboor's daughters is commissioning me to make the jewelry for her bridal party.
Busy busy. This is good. Keep it coming. I can take it. As long as I don't suddenly develope a social life....
:)
This is where I sometimes write about my woes and successes about my career in jewelry making.
