Well I had two sales today as a result of the ads I put on Craig's list.
I gave my new customer the iCraft web address so she could look my shop items over and that resulted in the second sale.
I gave my new customer some of my business cards to hand out and a 10% discount card for her next purchase.
I downloaded Derrick's ebook and plan to read it over the weekend.
Last night I twittered about the indiesmiles promotion and after I finish up here I'm going to put another blurb about it on mycraftivity blog and again on twitter.
See you all on Sunday as I'm off to Vernon tomorrow am and won't be near a computer until I return late Sunday.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Well, actually I DO have something to say.

In announcing this sale to a few people...I got 2 custom orders along with a couple of other items from 2 existing customers

Made one order last night and posted as reserved.

The second order requres specific materials to be ordered but will send her an estimate today.

I met with a woman on Saturday at Starbucks. She had seen my craiglist ad and wanted to check out my rings. We talked for over two hours! My husband showed up to make sure I hadn't been kidnapped! :lol: I had a great time and some excellent things came out of it:

1) she bought two rings and asked me to make her a third;
2) she not only praised my work but also urged me to raise my prices;
3) she has some good connections with B&M store owners and said she'd pass on the info to me; and
3) she was extremely friendly and we had a great conversation, so maybe I made a new friend!

What an awesome result for posting an ad on craiglist...who knew? Cheesy

I'm back from my Auntie's 90th birthday celebration in Vernon! Just a quik post!
Talked jewelry with my cousin's girlfriend at the party. My cousin has purchased jewelry from me for her before so we caught up on some design ideas I have.
I read Derrick Sutton's ebook some very doable ideas and great information included.
I also twittered about the sale and indiesmiles again tonight.
See you all tomorrow.

Wow! I love hearing the Craig's list stories!!!

I think that is sufficient evidence for us to keep posting on Craig's list. I'm so excited for all of you.

Whatever you do .... don't stop!
