How's Business? Plans Going Forward?

 Hey Y'all!


How's business going?

Slow, but that's fairly typical this time of year. It'll pick up with tax return time, and the Spring Markets. I don't have any craft shows solidified as yet, to make any announcement. However, when that happens I generally update on Facebook, or Instagram first. 

What are you looking to buy this Spring/Summer? Any product ideas? Share in the comments below! (Want something custom? DM me!)

I did recently do a sponsored FB Post on Craftables page, and would love to work with them more moving forward. High quality vinyl(s) at an affordable price. Their holographic sparkle htv, and the color changing htv are my favorites! Customer service is top notch. Imaginary Bonus Points for the company being in Tennessee!! I really enjoyed working with them, and would like to work with other craft brands too!


I also have an affiliate link with Love SVG: https://lovesvg.com/ref/CraftinWIfe/

*It cost you nothing extra, but I do receive a small kickback on paid orders, freebies are free for all and I don't earn anything on those, but the FREEBIE section is huge, so give it a browse too!

They've recently started selling Sublimation files, and their bundle deals on SVGs are pretty good.

For example- How cute is this sublimation image?



I am slowly growing on all social media, and I share more about that in the upcoming analytics blog. I'd like to be growing a bit faster, but the slow growth is more true followers than gained from one good video, so I think that's pretty positive.


Plans Going Forward?

I plan to do several shows in NE TN this Spring and even more for Summer. I'd like to look into a (different) retail space closer to home (than the new SMHC New Market location). I'd also like to talk with other local small business owners and do some design work, or create gear for their branding.  Currently just in the research phase with these goals.

(Two of the shows I'm looking into are early April, and are still accepting applicants, I'm just waiting on health stuff first.)

Each month I release at least 2 new items on my Facebook store, and goimagine. (March items will be up this week, and the Welcome Mat will be retiring, as well as the I Match Energies, and the I Don't Give A Cluck tees!) I plan to continue that mid month update on the online stores. Etsy fees are higher, and they don't have any charity based profit sharing, so while it's still active, all the listings are expired there. 

My DMs are currently always open for custom work, as well as my email (however I do not work on Sundays, so I'd get back to you Monday morning for any communication sent after 11pm EST Saturday). I had to delete my phone number from my google store profile, I was getting too many spam calls.

Thanks for reading!

Have a great day,
