I am sorry if this copies anyone else's idea but there is just so much on the forum to read that I can't get thru it all. I know someone will point me in the right direction to join something like this if, someone has already offered to do this. I also hope that I am posting in the right place too. Again if not, some one please direct me otherwise.
Since I have changed my Etsy store format, my sales have increased by about 30-40 percent. I find myself sending 3-5 items out a week now, rather than 3-5 items per year. Anyway, with all my extra traffic, I thought I would offer some extra traffic to my friends here at HAF.
It is as simple as this.
First a question.
Do you have or use in your own shipments, small mailing sized stickers or tiny tags that has your logo or website or information about your handmade business?
If so, send me a bunch of them and I will plaster them all over my shipments, or in the case of tiny tags, I will put them inside a shipment, along with my own press, of course.
This is actually an idea that i got from my last CC bill. They always have some kind of ads along with the bill, from other companies that accept their credit cards, trying to get you to spend more money. Problem with those, is that they are like cold calls, and over 80% or more of the people that get those, will toss them, because it doesn't interest them.
In our case, we are sending the same information to people that are already buying and looking for the type of things we create and sell, because that is what they just bought. They call that a captive market.
Anyway, That way, when my clients get my products, they can also get your information, as well.
It really does not take that long to do and anyone can offer to do this.
In fact I have a shipping area in my house that I have all that kind of stuff ready to get slipped into or onto any shipment I make.
For a small amount of effort and cost on your part, your creations get exposed to someone that might not have seen it otherwise and it does work.
Does this make any sense to anyone or am I just creating again?
Well let me know or just send me some of your small (no bigger than a regular mailing address labels, preferably a return address) labels. You can make them your self or have them made, it does not matter.
One of the good things about this kind of thing, especially the stickers, is that while they are being delivered, quite a few people see the stickers and use the information on them, too. I know you wouldn't think so, but you know how curious people get. Heck, sometimes when I drop my stuff off at the post office, I catch the clerk turning my packages over and over and looking at all the stuff on them. So anyway, let me know what you think and or just send me some of your smaller press.
My address is TUT P.O. Box 1760 New Waverly, TX 77358 I will stick them onto or into my shipments.
Thanks for reading anyway. If anyone else would like to do this too, just give us a place we can send our smaller press to and help out too, if that is ok with our leaders. This can also be done for anyone on the forum, not just the Etsians.
Happy Creating everyone.
