Goals for the Month of September?

[designbcb]

Do you set monthly goals? I didn't in the past and I think that has been to my detriment. I set a goal for last month and am encouraged that I almost made it!

My goal for September is to have five sales (small but gotta start somewhere) promote my shop as well as others' and connect with folks through my blog.

What are your goals?

I'd like to get pictures taken so I can get more items listed. I have a few more items made just need to get the pictures done so I can get them listed.

Also I'd like to try to get more sales this month then I did last month. That's one goal I try for every month.
I had 7 sales in Aug.

My goal for September is to attempt to keep my shop stocked with what my buyers are looking for.

With the holiday season right around the corner, people are looking for the 'right' ball of yarn to finish that gift!

I was doing fine until today when I find now that I'm totally out of the red crochet cotton #10 and the warehouse doesn't have any either.

I'd like to be able to catch up on a bit of sleep during September as my August was crazy!

My goal for September is to increase the amount of items that I have for sale to at least 50. I'd also like to add a new line of products... we'll see! ;*)

My goal is to finish up the models and take pictures so I can FINALLY post some of the patterns I've been working on. I've got the designs worked out, but I need good pics!

My goals for September are to have plenty of back up stock for my shop and for the up coming craft show season. Also to have 4 more etsy sales to bring me up to 10..Hears keeping fingers crossed...cindy

designbcb: congrats on reaching your goal right out of the gate!

My goals are to get my other shop, of my patterns, up and running by the end of the month once I get the feedback from my testers.

I am also having my first crochet party this month locally so my goal is to get even more people hooked!

AshDazzle - my goal also!! at least one sale - I do have a few outside prospects, but so far, nothing on Etsy - I think also, working on my pics - still not satisfied yet.

thanks for the reminder :-)

I have a few goals for September...

1. Get the items that I have finished blocked and listed for sale.
2. Start Christmas Ornaments... I am thinking snowflakes

Thanks for the invitation to join this team. My goal for September is to get all my patterns and yarn organized. I am working on storing my finished work in bins that makes it easy for me to find it when I have made a sale.

Hurrah! I finally managed to complete one of my longer term goals! I hit the 400 item mark just this morning! How long will it last? Who knows!

My goals for Sept are to make sure that I have all my shipping supplies ordered and ready and then try to keep up with all those holiday sales:)

[Former_Member]

Thanks for the reminder about shipping supplies cmu55. I totally forgot to place my post office order!

[designbcb]
