2 down and 98 to go! Second sale came in last night from a friend to whom I had sent a survey about my product. I don't know about you, but I hate to directly ask my personal network to buy from me, and especially starting out, I was more interested in their feedback and likes to the Shop than their purchase. If a purchase, now or later, comes out of the survey response, all the better!
A few days after I posted my first two items to my Shop, I sent out the following email to a targeted group within my network. I then asked my mom, husband, brother-in-law, and brother to send a similar message on my behalf to their networks. So far this 'grass roots' campaign has provided my first two sales.
Hi All,
I am excited to announce that I have launched a paper craft business named 'Keepin' It Fresh Creations' with the mission to 'Create experiences that light up peoples' faces.' : ) The first products being offered are love coupon jars currently available in two themes - 'Mommy-To-Be Sanity Saver' - perfect as a baby shower centerpiece or shower gift, and 'Relationships' - perfect for anniversaries, engagements, or Valentine's Day.
I would so appreciate you checking out my Shop and clicking 'Add Shop to Favorites' and 'Add Items to Favorites;' the more people who do this will help bring the Shop to the top of the priority list via search engine optimization.
SHOP Address: http://www.etsy.com/shop/KIFCreations
Also, I am seeking feedback to improve my Shop and expand the product line. Specifically, seeking your input in these areas -
1. Does the product description and product pictures pique your interest?
2. Have you seen a similar product? If so, where?
3. What do you like about the product?
4. What would you suggest could improve the product?
5. Who do you see as the target audience for the Mom-To-Be Jar? Relationship Jar?
6. Welcome any other feedback you have.
