Show Schedual in Planning

I will hopefully be in the Trocaire show again this fall.

How ever, this brings up the question of when I should look into registering with show. The answer turns out to be very early in the year. Even for the fall shows most applications need to be sent in in the beginning of the year.

For three that I found the deadline was March 1st. They are juried shows and have hefty fees. So while this year is not the year for them I should have enough saved up to try for next year. I should also have a booth set up and a tent.

Another one that I am thinking about has a dead line of May 1ts. I sent in a request for information so I hope I will hear from them before the deadline. It is a very local show in my town and while I probably wold not sell a lot, but I would get my name out there.

Searching for a Mentor

I want one not because I want to learn more about making jewelry, but so I can learn to sell it.

I would love to work with another jewelry seller at one of their shows to learn the ropes a little. Watch and learn how they talk to their customers and such. How they set things up and not over crowd their booth. My list could go on forever.

I really wish I could find someone localy to sit with and help watch their booth.

I think I will be asking my aunt about doing this with her out in Michigan one day when we are visiting. At least if I royally screw something up she won't totally flip out at me. Mock me afterwords yes, but that's just how family is. Actuly, maby she could find a show that we could do together and be set up next to each other. that might actuly work better.

Hmm.. I think I need to call my aunt. :3

First Run of Ads

So, I'm posting ads with Project Wonderful for a little bit. Trying to drum up a little more attention for my Etsy store. Once I get a good idea of the cost's and advantages then I might post ads on some of the more popular sites that I know of.

Facebook is far too expensive for me to advertise on. They want $2 or more for a click. That is not in my budget. Maybe if I had the money I would try it for a week, but that is just far too expensive to me.

I will be posting more items and their descriptions later this week. I feel like I am spamming my own blog but some people find it easier then they find my store. I'm trying to update more here & my Facebook Page with real news. I just wish I had some.
