Moving Forward

Hi All!

It's been soo long, I wanted to give you a heads up from the last year. Chris and I renovated our house for almost 7 months last year, so we where living with my parents. That was a big bag of mixed emotions, from joy to stress to happiness and so on. This year after being back in our place for 9 months I have really been thinking alot about my business. I have had a lot of ups and downs when it has come to my candiware jewelry. But I think after 11 years its time to say good bye to mini clay jewelry.

There is a lot of resins why its time for me to go but manly its just not really where I feel passion for anymore. I feel like my jewelry never really took off like I wanted it to and I think its time to sell off my stock and findings so that I can move forward. I have also been very busy with other things in my life like my full time job as a lead 3D layout artist on a Disney show. As well as YouTube and Twitch.

Worry not I am not fully planning on closing my etsy shop it will just grow with me. I am moving into sticker making with my love of drawing coming back after soo many years I'm happy to be moving into the next step of my business. I hope you will follow me on this year of growth!

Also I would love the help selling off my mini jewelry stock its 60% off so help yourself ;)

What are you thankful for this year, and what kind of growth do you want to see in your life this year?
Love you all hope to talk soon.

Good Bye To Shopify

Hello everyone,

I wanted to talk about having a shopify, and also why I no longer have one. First I would like to say that I thought it was pretty good. It took me all of family day to get my shop up and running. I had my shop open till last month. Now lets get into what I thought of there platform.

If you have a very strong following and lots of  sales its wonderful, of course right? Well that wasn't the case for me. I guess I have been pushing my etsy shop for 9 years, that I was finding a bit of a struggle to get buyers to jump ship. I did find that if I did have a sale that the buyer did buy more then one item. The many programs on there website do encourage buyers to invest more into your line. There shipping page and getting your clients to become part of newsletters was a lot easier too.

At the end of the day the lack of sales and the high price for there serves was far to much to keep my brand on there platform. I do know it works for many sellers but as of right now I am not one of them. I guess I'm an etsy girl to the better end!

Please let me know if you would like a more in depth look at both etsy and shopify. I want to help out my fellow artist/ sellers out there. Do you use one of these platforms or one of the other eCommerce sites out there? I would love to know what you use.
