She is the winner of a custom pair of birthstone earrings from my shop!<br /><br />As for my shop, my promo contest increased my views by 32%. My earring views went up 116%!!! I also increased my "hearts" by 17%.<br /><br />I made two sales during my promotion. I definitely think promos are worth it now!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7199807488823501428-141578930516913848?l=familyrocksbylj.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laura Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206820796195465106noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199807488823501428.post-14052841236179364652007-08-18T14:01:00.001-07:002007-08-18T14:03:06.498-07:00Things have been awfully quiet here.<br /><br />I am running a contest at etsy for a free pair of custom birthstone earrings!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5197717">http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5197717</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7199807488823501428-1405284123617936465?l=familyrocksbylj.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laura Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206820796195465106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199807488823501428.post-75520759284253957812007-08-15T06:43:00.001-07:002007-08-15T06:45:45.008-07:00I am soooo excited about this!<br /><br />I have decided to start making some one-of-a-kind pieces (well even more OOAK than my customized family jewellery). I am planning to do some freeform pieces representing the months of the year.<br /><br />Two are already up in my shop (June and August)....now to create more! I love working freeform. I find it a release at the end of the day to sit down with my wire, crystals, and beads, and let the wire take me where it will.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7199807488823501428-7552075928425395781?l=familyrocksbylj.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laura Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206820796195465106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199807488823501428.post-44463230110772274842007-08-07T13:39:00.001-07:002007-08-07T13:40:16.325-07:00I have been working on my marketing today. I have e-mailed my contacts to let them know about my shop and home parties. I have also added my etsy shop to my signature in all my e-mails.<br /><br />Now I'll have to come up with some more ideas!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7199807488823501428-4446323011077227484?l=familyrocksbylj.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laura Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206820796195465106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199807488823501428.post-7377241586424679762007-08-05T18:10:00.000-07:002007-08-05T18:12:20.345-07:00I sold enough at the flea market to cover my costs. I was hoping for a better day, but I did meet some interesting people and was able to get my name out there a little.<br /><br />I am thinking the Craft Fairs is where my work will do best. For now I am going to focus my energies into scouting out more local craft markets and internet sales.<br /><br />I feel great about my product, now I just have to find the right market. :) It's out there!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7199807488823501428-737724158642467976?l=familyrocksbylj.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laura Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206820796195465106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199807488823501428.post-31344654286363343972007-08-04T11:10:00.000-07:002007-08-04T11:13:49.590-07:00I am starting to get a little of this blogging thing. (and I thought I was doing well navagating message boards.......time to get with the times!)<br /><br />I'll be pretty busy today getting supplies ready to be at the Antrim Flea Market (in Antirm, Ontario) from 9 am to 4 pm tomorrow. I am hoping with this being a long weekend here in Canada, that it will generate some business, or at least promote my product a little locally.<br /><br />I am excited to be adding my bracelets to my line this weekend! Hopefully all goes well!<br /><br />I'm off to cut wire and count crystals! ......and drink some wine later tonight! Toodles!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7199807488823501428-3134465428636334397?l=familyrocksbylj.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laura Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206820796195465106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199807488823501428.post-71603531472989119582007-08-03T14:34:00.001-07:002007-08-03T14:34:55.072-07:00So I have no idea how to look at other people's blogs!!
