Update | Stepping Up the Online Orders

Update! The first half of the month was all about new images, rebranding, and social media expansion. I've started pinning things on Pinterest in hopes to inspire others (or find some new customers). And I also severely overworked my packaging--it's fancier now.

I haven't had time to create new products, but I have been continuing to re-shoot all of my product images. The most recent ones were hot air balloons (which are finally re-listed on Etsy).

I've also been working on re-branding and creating a more cohesive online presence. I made new business cards and have a complimentary order wrapping for every online purchase (mainly Etsy and Tictail--its harder to wrap crowns in tissue paper). I had the materials and like gift wrapping, so I decided to make some store name/logo stickers. After a minor incident, all catch-all dishes will now be packaged in small square boxes in a bed of crinkled kraft paper filler. More secure, and more appealing than bubble wrap in an envelope.

I'm also trying to post more frequently on Facebook and Instagram. Social media presence is so important nowadays, but I also enjoy styling and photographing products. In-use shots are a great way to show them off. They're also aesthetically pleasing.

The next major task is re-shooting all of my crown images and marking them down again. I have ideas for new images, but it's going to be a few months until they're ready. Crowns were so fun to make and I wish they didn't take up so much room to store--they need to go! All of the available crowns are still listed on Storenvy. Now is the perfect time to get one to show off all spring.
