New Website Features and Shlii Updates!
In addition to fulfilling orders, answering emails, prepping for and vending at shows, handling/restocking inventory, designing new products, creating new artwork, managing all social media accounts, designing promo items, etc. I've ALSO been updating my website this year. It's a slow process, but I recently added a Reviews feature and am in the works creating a Rewards system! (I also finally updated my Event Schedule. I'm sorry that took so long!!) I'm also playing around with ads to get my work out there to the masses! Since I've been selling online for nine years, I feel like I should really try putting my work out there more. It's honestly tough to do and something I've always struggled with.
At my last show, I had many conversations with people who didn't realize I was a solo artist. They thought I was a small company with employees and such.... It really is such a compliment, but Nope! It's just me, though I will say I can't imagine doing shows without my husband. He helps me SO much.
Being an artist business is very interesting, because in addition to EVERYTHING ELSE involved with running a business, you have to create your own things to sell (you're not just selling already-created products!). It's not for the "faint of heart," but it is a really beautiful experience and I'm so grateful to all of you for making it possible.
