A REALLY Good Idea!  

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Pam Hawk is a blogger who helps people with their 'brand' and I found that her latest entry was a terrific idea that I just have to pass along to you! =D
Here's the post and the link that follows is to her site where you'll find a lot more info on promoting your online and offline presence...

Host an online Spouse's Shopping Event

Hey Etsyians, boost your sales during the upcoming holiday shopping season by hosting an online Spouse's Shopping Event.

Send a card to all of your customers using snail mail. In this card, invite them to browse through your shop for their favorite items. Have them note their favorite items and spouse's name on a pre-paid post card that they send back to you.

When the card comes back, send a card to each spouse, introducing your shop and mentioning the favorite items chosen by your customers. Offer a discount, free gift wrapping, and any other specials you would like to extend for this shopping event. Make sure you note a time limit so you have time to get orders wrapped and packaged and shipped out in time for the holidays.

Your customers will love their gifts and their spouses will appreciate the personalized shopping assistance.

Note: By sending cards to your customers via snail mail, you are not violating Etsy's strict no-spam policy (which is a good policy) and your card is more likely to be opened and read by your customers.

Stay tuned for the next blog post which expands on this idea

Back to work! Hope you enjoyed this great little idea and many thanks for "stopping by the shop!"

    Hi Freida!
    I checked on the puppy a couple of times today. his food and water is still full and I haven't seen him. I hope one of the other ladies caught him, but I'll keep checking. They are still feeding him, too.
