Ready, Set, Go!

Long, long ago in a distant city I had a different job. I actually sold skin care and cosmetics for a company called BeautiControl. At the time it was the perfect job because it allowed me the flexibility to homeschool my girls and still earn an income. It was also really fun and I learned a whole lot about marketing and customer service. Those lessons I learned long ago now apply to my Etsy store.

One particular method that I used when showing my BeautiControl products was putting everything a woman would need into a set and selling it at a slightly reduced price. This idea has been rattling around my head for a week or two, so, the other day I decided to make a Kitchen Set. While I'm still listing these items in my store as separate, I wanted to put together something that could become a set. If I ever get caught up, I'd like to list a few things in a set and sell them this way. I'll keep working on this idea, but I think the Kitchen Set would be just perfect for a wedding shower gift!

On a completely different topic, but still talking about the same aprons...

I have decided to make my brand new deck the new place to take pictures of my aprons for posting on Etsy. I love the deck's height and the ability to see over the fence. I also love the light that is filtered through the huge oak tree. I think all of these features will give my pictures more interest! Compared to where I was taking my pictures (a blank bedroom wall), this setting has viewer appeal.
