Working on new stuff. . .

I've been making more wire trees because they keep selling.  LOL  I had to add more to the store to get back to my 100+ listings.  I have 3 new ones that I haven't added yet because it has been cloudy and I can't get decent photos.  :-/  I got 2 added the other day.

I have developed a habit of check in on the etsy forums and I'm going to have to stop because the repetitiveness is driving me MAD, like mad hatter mad.  o.O   Seriously there are a handful of basic topics that are just posted over and over and over and over because no one has the common sense to READ what has already been answered a thousand times.  Honestly, even when it was posted 5 minutes ago and is right there on the damn front page.  I am so sick of typing the same answers over and over and over and over and over and over and over. . . .   :-o  

 

Happy Thanksgiving. . .

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.

 

My BLACKFRIDAY coupon code will be good through Cyber Monday.

Improving views. . .

Ok so I'm not ready to confirm that 100 listings is some sort of magic thing but since I broke the 100 listing mark I have had pretty steady views and another sale.  Lucky for me the sale was an item that had a multiple quantity so the listing auto-renewed.  Plus I made another fabulous wire tree so now I'm at 102.  
 

Holidays are rapidly approaching and I'm working on my promoted listing bids and google ads.  I did a Facebook post with coupon codes for nearly the whole month. 

NOV10 is 10% off any purchase of $10 or more it's good for most of the month.  

THANKSGIVING is 15% off any purchase of $10 or more it's only good for a couple of days (23-24th).  

BLACKFRIDAY is 25% off any purchase of $10 or more and it's good for the whole weekend through Cyber Monday (25-28th).

I'm also considering making a special banner for the shop with the coupon codes on it because everyone always says no one reads the shop announcement section, so maybe if I put it in a huge colorful picture it will get noticed.  LOL

 

Yee-Ha !!!

Total "hot damn" moment I broke 100 listings.  

Ok, so I kind of cheated by listing the necklace and matching earrings separately instead of as a set.  ~LOL~ 
 

So I now have 101 listings all with "A" grades that show up well placed in search and sadly no huge surge of views or sales.   :-/

I'll just have to keep plugging away at the Facebook and Instagram and promos.  

 

Oh so close. . .

Ok so I had a goal of 100 listing and I've been making things pretty steadily.  I was making real progress too, I was up to 97 and had a few in the works that would have made it 100.  However, I actually had a sale over the weekend, I did a little happy dance when the cha-ching sounded.  I love sales, but then I realized I'm not going to hit 100 when I list the things I have finished.  LOL

 I'm going to end up with 99 listings, oh so close to my 100 goal.

 

Oh I like that alot !!

I bought some odd rings a while back, not my typical material or size and twisted.  Literally, square wire twisted as it's coiled makes for very cool looking results.  They are gunmetal plated brass nickle free not too shiny and with a nice weight.  I only bought a limited quantity at the time because I wasn't sure I was going to like them.  The rings have an interesting look on their own and they are not easy to get smooth closures on because of the tiny corners but once worked into something wow. 

 The texture and depth they add are simply amazing.  I made a couple of bracelets and I seriously think I need to order more of these rings.  I only ordered them in 1 size initially I think this time I may have to buy a larger quantity and more than one size.  LOL

I am sorely tempted to keep one of these, not that I need another bracelet but it's just soooo darn cool.  

 

New New New listings. . .

I have been adding new listings for earrings and other things, new styles and chain patterns.  I am at 93 listings now and still aiming to break 100.  Over the weekend I made a new rainbow boxchain necklace, it's awesome.  

I need to shoot the listing photos for it but it will soon be number 94.
