Okay! So as promised, I have created two more designs. I've loved wearing these the past few days. Since I'm not very " tech savy " and don't take pictures of my work, I'm just going to briefly describe them. One is just a simple silver plated ring with four pearls woven in the grooves of the template. The other is a charm bracelet. It has a peace sign, a heart, a few random charms and pearl beads between each one.
As for the most important thing about this blog are the tips. So after watching more videos on building up a business, I've learned different things. The most important thing is what I've heard and seen doing by a lot of people. ALWAYS HAVE STOCK.... not soup stock, what am i cooking :) no! What they mean by this is to always have pre-made items even if it is a huge amount compared by your estimated amount for selling. This way you will never have orders - unless custom orders - . Basically meaning that you will not have stress about who ordered this and who ordered that.
Pricing has come up many times but one thing is for sure. YOU are the only one who can price your work because you know how much time and effort has been put into it.
VARIETY!!!!!!!!!!! The word variety has come up many times. You always want variety for your customers! You never want to be seen as just like everyone else or Oh! I've seen that just about a thousand times. What I've just said applies to everything though. If you are playing piano do you go for a well known song or your own original one to stand out? I can honestly say that my pieces are sometimes similar as others. But, of course with tons of experience, I'll be able to make even more unique pieces.
Okay! Guess that's enough for now! Be sure to check out the next blog because I found a video on Displaying and Presentation and really want to watch it but just didn't have time. Hopefully this weekend I'll get to it but for now adios! :) Also, I have two more designs to go! Making progress over here!
