Gangbusters! That is the way November has been for my small biz. A second big special order was placed yesterday. It will take until after the New Year for me to fulfill.
A couple weeks ago an inquiry came to my Etsy shop for 2 dozen identical pairs of gold star sequin gloves in a short turn around time like these:
However I was a little taken aback because that is a large quantity to ask from a one-of-a-kind designer. I politely declined at the time.
A pair of the gloves were purchased this past week in my Etsy shop and yep, it was by the same person who inquired about the multiple pairs.
So I opened the discussion with an apology and an offer to work together. I did a little homework, noticing the person's email signature indicated 'Director' of what sounded to be a youth organization.
Bingo. The customer was very flexible with the design, the timing. I wanted to show support for her work and was flexible with the pricing. Everyone is happy!!
Today another beautiful moment...a customer in England purchased this guitar string bracelet.
Seems I am on a roll!!
On a (rock n) ROLL
