Back from a few days of camping. I never even got the camera out, just spent time with family and friends. This morning, I caught up on shipping a few lingering orders. Right now, I have a clean slate as far as shipping – feels good! I also delivered a wholesale order – love that. I think I need to resume acquiring (or at least attempting to aquire) new wholesale accounts. I stopped when Covid started – I didn’t want to bother any small business owners with taking on new products like my book or card lines. BUT, maybe they’re looking for new products.
I got an Etsy order for a single greeting card from someone in Ohio. Six whole dollars! You would be surprised how happy it made me. To me it represents my work is reaching new audiences outside Ashland, Portland, San Fran, etc. That’s what needs to happen – on a much bigger scale. It’s my third small “random” card order from a far away place. I never thought I’d sell individual cards online, but I never thought my entire business and our entire economy would almost shut down completely either.
Today i ordered cards from several different Etsy sites. While there plenty of cool greeting card creators on Etsy, I really want to see how experienced Etsy shop owners package cards efficiently and cheaply. One of the cards is ratherdirty & funny – I look forward to giving to my wife. Here it is: kinky dinosaurs
Later today, I have 3 Acrylic photographs showing up and thinking I might try my first ever Facebook live video.
Talk tomorrow!
