Hello beautiful people!
Here are some happy updates from Feb-so-far...
I designed an ad for my shop that went up on craftcult.com all of last week;
a very popular place for almost all Etsians to hang out,
browse through interesting picks,
and even promote their items!
The shop sales crossed 100 in Feb and, that too, in my birthday week !
The shop-hearts crossed 250 and the blog now has
192 lovely readers who follow the posts.
I have been slightly laid back (to put it mildly) in 2008-09
so far as the listings were concerned.
That is not a bad thing considering the fact that I focussed more on the painting,
slightly more than the shop make-over, promotion and stuff like that.
So far as tending to my shop goes, all that will change this year
...the new banner and new listings are only a part of that change-for-the-better.
I love operating through Etsy for of many reasons,
one of them being a format and some unique features
that are so helpful for the buyers as well as the sellers.
The option of leaving a feedback on a shop being one of them.
A great way to learn how your clients feel about your product
and a great reference point for future prospective collectors.
If you are an Etsian, I would highly recommend making full use of this feature;
it is the best way you can encourage a seller, thank a buyer,
highlight the positives and even upload an appreciation photo!!
I love to see photos of my artwork from
the homes and creative spaces of my wonderful collectors
and I want to thank all of you who have been so kind as to share with me the same.
Recently, I received this photograph in my Etsy mail:
I love the way the print had been matted and mounted.
I could not resist requesting Judy, the collector,
to send a snap of her with the framed print if possible.
In this photo: Judy with her grand-children and the framed 'Naani's Lullaby print.
I was really touched when I saw your photo Judy,
there is so much love in this capture.
I felt really bad for having given you the trouble,
for any inconvenience that this may have caused,
but I can't tell you how much I will treasure this.
Thank you for your love and kindness.
Now, as promised in my previous post, I have a give-away for you my readers!
It is a print of my 'Lalita Sundari' painting on A4 archival paper
(watermarks will not appear on the print)!
To enter the draw, enter your name and a comment after this post.
You have time until next Sunday, 28 Feb, 8 pm Geneva time, best of luck!
I will announce the winner, take your address and ship this print out soon after!
Thank you for all the birthday wishes!
***Comments are now closed , I'll announce the winner later today***
