Recipes for Success?

[Rohini Wahi]

As a newbie on here, i am full of enthusiasm and excitement and a day-dreamer of infinite possibilities that iCraft will bring for us all!

And as times are grim right now i thought it might be nice to reflect and show-off some success stories and some spectacular sales that might have been achieved in the last few months or last year? Or even sales that might not have been particularly spectacular but might have brought about some fulfilling feedback?

I'm a wholehearted believer in good vibes creating good luck - so i'm all ears for some great vibes being generated around the iCraft forum this Monday!

Because of the economy, I decided to provide more items that are lower price. NOT by reducing my prices, but creating more items that are typically lower price by nature.

Usually, I have a lot of necklaces and bracelets in my shop, but recently, I have really tried hard to create interesting and unique earrings! My shop now has a larger percentage of earrings in it that ever before, with more to be listed.

At $12.99-$14.99, they are something to perk up a wardrobe without a big investment, and it has worked. I have had earring sales and even returning customers purchasing additional earrings.

That has been encouraging.

I think that's a great attitude Linda - instead of fighting the economy i think it's good to adapt to it to a certain extent. Pro-active thinking is what we need!

It means people will realise they are getting a bargain buying with you and you benefit accordingly. I am so glad we are beginning to see some 'green shoots'!

LOL! "green shoots!" I'm hoping for lots of sprouts!

I think the only way to survive right now is to be fluid in your business direction. You can't pound a square peg into a round hole.

'Green shoots' is a term our lovely British Politicians are using to drum up morale!!! Haha.
