Build an email newsletter to advertise to your best customers who have opted into your email list! Work on new designs & projects!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773187815755223028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075944624036557773.post-3650535416762254602010-04-08T15:09:31.999+01:002010-04-08T15:09:31.999+01:00I'm one of the thousands of Etsy jewelry maker...I'm one of the thousands of Etsy jewelry makers -- http://jaclyn1423.etsy.com . My tip? 1) Make stuff you'd wear. 2) Do something you care about. I just started marketing necklaces for autism, a cause very dear to my heart, and it doubled the enjoyment I get out of my craft, which was always high anyways.Jaclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406991876702772277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075944624036557773.post-58595476731608283652010-04-08T06:15:11.637+01:002010-04-08T06:15:11.637+01:00I design and print letterpress stationery + custom...I design and print letterpress stationery + custom invitations, announcements, etc. in Vancouver, BC.<br /><br />My tip: If you sell your goods online, keep your buyer informed about what's going on - i.e. email them when their order is ready, email them when it has shipped and send a tracking #, etc. Buyers like to know where their stuff is, and keeping them informed means less phone calls and emails coming in asking where their stuff is, which in turn means more creative time for you :)<br /><br />Erin<br />www.sunlit-letterpress.comErin McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155681765945648812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075944624036557773.post-67649984658092718262010-04-07T22:16:31.790+01:002010-04-07T22:16:31.790+01:00I make fused glass & stained glass jewelry.

I found a very inexpensive craft fair, shared a table with a crafty friend, and had a successful event. This year, I'm going to branch out and try two or three fairs on my own.Chantel I.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11752534925393341015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075944624036557773.post-5272533257457606792010-04-07T15:28:54.307+01:002010-04-07T15:28:54.307+01:00I make little things to make family life easier, l...I make little things to make family life easier, like tea cozies, pencil rolls, and other fun little things for kids. I also blog, and constantly come up with DIY projects for my little ones.<br /><br />TIP: Get and share advice! It's impossible to know everything and there is a wealth of information out there in the community. I've learned so much from those I've met at shows and from the folks on the Vancouver etsy street team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075944624036557773.post-74959558598345546292010-04-07T15:07:10.425+01:002010-04-07T15:07:10.425+01:00I offer a line of sustainable & handmade items...I offer a line of sustainable & handmade items from eco cup cozies, tea cozies and pouches.
