March's birthstone, the aquamarine, is said by mystics to have countless positive effects on the wearer. Most auspiciously, it is used to treat those in whom procrastination is an affliction! Not that I know anyone like that -- do you?
In the spirit of non-procrastination inspired by aquamarine, I am setting down my goals for March now, almost a full seven hours early! (See, it works!)
- List 20 more items in my 1000Markets shop. (Did I mention I now have a 1000 Markets shop? I did? Oh.)
- Complete and deliver my current wholesale order
- Send out wholesale samples to prospective accounts
- Finish the sample vessel sink
- Approach one new consignment outlet
- Fire one soda & one stoneware kiln.
Whew! March is gonna be madness, alright. I am tired already.
Aquamarine is also associated with The Hanged Man of the Tarot deck, who encourages seekers to turn away from material things and seek solitude. Sounds like a perfect time to quit the IPTOG.
Kidding! I'm just kidding.
Sounds like you've got your act together. I'm still flip-flopping around on etsy.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your new store :)
Some great goals you have set for your self, congrats on the new storefront.
ReplyDeleteCindy == it's too early to tell if 1000 Markets is any better than Etsy, but I like their model better: the stores are juried, and listing is free. They don't get paid unless I sell something.
ReplyDeleteI can also tell you that in the 2 days my 1KM store ahs been open, Google Analytics tell me it has kicked Etsy's ass in visits, had a much lower bounce rate, and something like 25 times longer visits. The proof, of course, will come in sales, or not; but it looks good so far.
