Talked with my daughter yesterday about Etsy,.... she says it's the "rave" where she works. A lot of the gals in her office use it and they're always sending links back and forth to each other to look at things to buy. My daughter is 29. The average age of her office staff is about 25... she says there's tons of people that use it. We took a look at the percentages...if we take the CC factor ou (since we use CC at both the store and at shows)t... we're down to about 7% expense, compared to our usual 5% for shows.. but with no time spent in packing, set up and working shows.. think we can justify the additional 2%. Gosh, time is so valuable, it's hard to put a price on it. We were going to try a couple of new shows next year, but it is such a pain seeking out new shows that are profitable. We've been on the road since 1999 and it's taken us years to weed out good shows from poor, but have had a stable run for 8 years now. I'm going to start setting up an Etsy shop today. This past year I set up a new website and hadn't added a shopping cart yet...so we're going to link our site to the Etsy shop for online sales. This might work out pretty well. I'm excited about it... I'd much rather be at my boutique working and jabbering with my customers, than out at shows. Again,, thanks everyone for all your insight on new ways to market and sell merchandise. I'm attending a class next month on internet marketing at St. Thomas College in Minneapolis... my plans are to continue on for 6 more classes to obtain my Internet Marketing certificate. It's my 60th birthday present,,,,to me,,,from me. Will let you's know how that goes.
