Now that I’ve done the early August flea market, it’s time to look at my priorities for the rest of the month. The next De Anza Flea Market is on September 2nd.

Said and done, these codes are now live:

• TWO20: Buy 2 cards, get 20% off

• THREE30: Buy 3 cards, get 30% off

• FOUR40: Buy 4 cards, get 40% off

These codes are very generous. I’ll probably adjust them in a month or two.

Usually I post a crafty tutorial on Tuesday or Wednesday. But business is top of mind for several reasons. So I’ll blog while the iron is hot, so to speak.

Most succesful Etsy shops have a specific niche that they cultivate. It can be a product category such as jewelry or clothing. Some specialize in a material or manufacturing process, like resin. Still others sell a wide range of products but they cultivate a specific audience such as art deco lovers or gamers.

I added an option to select packaging on one of my fairy cards. Then I ran a survey on social media about it. The results were mixed.

Today did not go as planned and I was in a time crunch.
