Pay 10% Less for 100% Dads

For Father's Day, since my shop is so full of Father's Day gifts:

I'm just trying out this site so we'll see if anyone bites. Business has been slow lately despite the many treasuries I'm in almost daily. I need to contact some blogs for giveaways and weasel my way back into magazines and list twice as many items as I've been listing. Maybe if I take up heavy drug use...

Small Business Saturday Sale for Blog Readers

Happy Small Business Saturday! Much like card companies declare card-giving holidays, small businesses are claiming the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend's shopping madness as their (our) own. It's a Walmart World, but it's an independent business world, too. So today (and I say Sunday, too, but I'm biased), try to concentrate your shopping on Etsy sellers, "mom and pop" shops, local boutiques, and the kid who offers to shovel your walk for $10.

To encourage you to participate in this day I'm offering special coupon codes to blog readers, Facebook friends/fans, Twitter followers, and JillHannah returning customers. They will be active Saturday and Sunday, November 27 and 28, 2010 only, so buy now. I almost never have sales, so take advantage while you can.

The coupon code for my blog readers is SBSBLOG
(That stands for "Small Business Saturday BLOG" in case you get confused).
Capitalization shouldn't matter.
Good ONLY at JillHannah.Etsy.com
Enter the code in the proper place during Etsy checkout to receive 10% off your purchase.

Free gift wrapping and personalized card included in all orders.

Because you, loyal blog readers, make this worthwhile.


Happy Thanksgiving! Think Small!

personal pricing logic of the undead

Doing a bit better as of fairly late last night. I got all of my packages ready for shipping and was perhaps a bit overzealous with the goodies and general package decorating (I'll post a photo if my friend lets me steal his camera before we head to the post office this morning), but I feel a lot better just knowing I could do what had to get done. Being useless is frustrating.

As a result of Mr. Migraine I'd left up my Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale an extra four days with the quick note at the top of my Etsy shop that I was in Migraineland and shipping might be delayed but that meant the sale got extended because I was too dead to take it down. Today, I was going through to bump all of my prices back up and remove the "25 PERCENT OFF" from my titles when I decided perhaps I'm better off leaving most of my cards at $3. I know I personally am more likely to buy from a shop with $3 cards, since I don't like to buy just one at a time and almost $10 when you figure in postage is much more daunting than $8. In fact, I might even buy three cards at $3 each when I would be loathe to buy any from the shop that's selling for $4. Hopefully I'm not the only one thinking like this right now. Also hopefully I have cards that people want and find. That's the huge first part of it. The price just seals the deal. So pretty pretty please if you have a friend you think would like my shop, send them the link, and hopefully this afternoon I'll still feel better enough to work on general whoring (AKA marketing).
