My 2016 goal is to increase my inventory. I'd like to have each type of shoe showcased in my shop. Maybe in each camo choice also. We will see but a new work schedule at my boring job will give me more time to play! May we all be successful in 2016!

I have lapsed bit in my etsy selling of late so my goal is to get back on the horse and get making! Adding to my inventory will hopefully attract new buyers be more involved in the community!

Happy New year Everyone! My goals for this year are to dedicate more time to my ETSY shop. I dont use social media a lot, so i would like to work on that this year, to help increase sales. :)

Wishing a prosperous new year to all! One of my goals is to increase my inventory and branch out in my needlework. I also would like to use social media more and learn how to promote my shop to not only increase sales, but to also gain a following of customers that like my work.

I have reached over 900 views this month I hope to break the 1000 mark!

I sell fashion jewelry, paper jewels items above all. I know I'm note alone in my category :)) but I want to do every day much better, new and interesting creations and hope to align myself with other successful sellers in this category. As a result, my next goal is to have more visitors that can become clients and so to increase sales. I hope 2016 will be a wonderful year for me.

So... why don't you start to visit my shop, like my jewels and.... shopping?

:)

thank you all!

I'd love to try and experiment more with my listing photos (in the hopes that I can improve them haha!). I've been relying on one section in my home to take photos, but I think it's time to really try some other things out for better lighting, better backdrop, etc.
