For those of you following my little blog to hear about the minutia of 1 woman starting a small biz, well here's a few tricks that are working for me. First, I carry these 3 wallets everywhere I go. The vintage silver one holds my Ruby Mae credit cards, wholesasle license & vendor loyalty cards. The sweet red check wallet was a gift from my sis Jen. I love that she placed her busienss card, VintageByJen, inside, plus 1$. Of course those two will go with me everywhere that wallet goes. I'm not spending that dollar. It's nice and flat & all my personal & business receipts go inside. The large wallet is my personal tri fold that I bought 5 years ago at the Franklin Covey store in Mesa. I highly recommend it.
Zazzle.com is a good website for business cards. Lots of fun, feminine ones to pick from. They routinely email coupon codes and on my last order I just reordered the business cards that were in the que. The bummer is that I bought 2 boxes of old business cards that don't have my website on them. Crickey!!!
I've discovered that etsy.com is a terrific source for my rubbber stamps, earring cards, & charms.
A simple white lunch bag w/ my stamp on it is cute..
Lace remnants are wonderful for jazzing up gift boxes.
Placing my pieces on Pinterest.com has brought sales.
The CoffeShop in Agritopia is a really great place to meet up with clients. Starbucks can be really convenient too.
Lastly, having a website designed with "wordpress" allows me to mostly add/edit my own content. Thanks RockyReasoner.com. I could never afford nor feel happy if someone else had to maintain my lil ol' website. There's a few things I still haven't learned how to do on it so I do rely on him for those things. But mostly it's me, adding all the pics, etc.
