Getting sales!!

[Wendy Lohn]

Hi readers:

I need any and all help I can get to bring customers to my store, JewelsbyWendy.  I have posted on Pinerest, jointed Jetteam, tried the Etsy search ads and listed my name for SEO.  I love what I do and I love many of the beautiful goodies I have found on Etsy.  The competition is fierce as there is a tremendous amount of talent trying to sell also!

Right now, I am staying the summer on Cape Cod, Mass., and it is hot, hot, hot and steamy.  I am helping my daughter by staying with my grandchildren so she can work at the Cape Cod Museum.  The Museum is going through a nasty upset with management and we are all hoping the Museum will be able to stay open.  I live in So. California the rest of the year. 

 

I would love to hear from you.

Thank you,

Wendy

Hi, I too need all the help I can to get more sales- I noticed you mentioned pinterest, I've been wondering, is it acceptable to promote our own creations on there or is it supposed to be noticed by someone else and pinned? I can't seem to find out!

I'm off to look at your shop:)

I use pintrest, although I don't get a ton of traffic from it.  Most of my traffic comes from working on my SEO, my Facebook fan page, Stumble Upon, and craigslist.  Yes, I said it, craigslist!  It works pretty well to gather some local sales that don't require shipping, but you have to be careful and only meet people in a public place.

Thanks for your reply.  I received no sales from Pinterest but it is a great get together for people to work with pictures.  Yes, I also posted my Etsy web site on Craigslist.

On Pinterest I've had the best luck by participating in Community boards.  I'm a member of this one, and I think that's where I get the most traffic via Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/fruitofherhand/fohh-community-board/
