Business wise I went to a craft fair for the first time. That was a lot of fun and I learned a lot as well. How to sell, what to say and you get more feedback from people, so you know where they are interested in. Online you only know where they're interested in, is when they buy something. But at a craft-fair you get reactions all the time.
After this fair, I realized I had to upgrade and change my website a little. Put some different type of cards online. So that's what I did, and we will see!
I find it quite hard to get my name out there; you have to advertise a lot and be out there all the time. There are so many others in the same business.. So even though I have started my business 4-5 months ago (and it feels much longer!!!), I still have the feeling that no one knows I exists.
It is just a hobby, but I have to compete with all the 'real' businesses. It takes time!! But on the bright side: I already had quite a couple of sales, that must say something!
In the mean time I am just enjoying the spring. Leaving Designs4ever for what it is, grab my book and sunglasses and go sit in the sun on my balcony! Somehow Georgia skipped the winter and has gone from autumn straight into spring / summer. The weather is great, although the pollen count is incredibly high. But besides that I love the warmth and sunshine. I bought some herbs and planted them in baskets. My first strawberries are about done and I can't wait to taste them. Gotta love life!! :)
