Pssst!!! I've got something to tell you...


Each month I offer a special promotion in my shop as a way to entice all those shoppers on Etsy to make a purchase from my shop. In all honesty, it hasn't been very effective. But what the hey, it hasn't cost me any money, so far, and I just know that one day someone will not be able to turn me down.

With that thought in mind, I've got a little something up my sleeve to generate some sales activity in my shop. Here's what I'm thinking:

My birthday is July 1st and I'm going to throw a little birthday celebration sale. I will be offering a pair of hand-crafted pearl earrings for $1.00 (plus shipping and handling) to the first 46 customers who respond to my Etsy posting. Yeah, I know it's not exactly a give-away. But it's pretty darn close when you factor in the cost for materials and labor. I won't be making any money - but maybe I can generate some sales so my little shop doesn't look so ignored. Maybe I'll offer free shipping with a purchase of another pair of earrings.

So, for those of you who read my blog you have the inside track to my plans. I'd surely love it the readers of my blog were able to score a pair of these earrings. Having my "sales" number go up considerably would be the best birthday present I could imagine.
PS: I case you haven't figured it out - that person staring at you is Me. :) Those are my new glasses that I'm in "Love" with.
