I can't believe it has been 5 months since my last blog. This past year has brought business highs and lows but more lows than expected. I feel like I have learned alot and hope to use that to my advantage this year.
Before I do anything I am trying to de-clutter my house and shop. It is a slow process but I am sticking to it until it is done. I started cleaning before Christmas and did pretty good but then with a house full of family and lots of celebrating it put me behind and now it is hard to get started again. So this is the first goal of the year.
Something I tried to do the past few years is to please all the customers instead of designing and sewing to please me. I was watching what was being made by others and I assumed it was selling. Well, it didn't work and then I realized if I was seeing it again and again, it was not selling, duh! Then I noticed when I designed and made items my way it generated alot more interest and I was happier. So that is my second goal this year, to do it my way.
I also know I should advertise but what media and where? I would love to utilize the computer since this has been my most successful source of business. I need to learn to operate this machine to my benefit.
Well, there it is, hope you will join me and maybe give me some input. I could use cheerleaders. Have a wonderful day and good luck to you and your family this new year.
