You can raise it, or you can also add a bit more value and make it a 6 coaster set? I've always looked for 6 coasters when buying.
The main issue with more than 4 coasters is packaging. I can...
Hi Cindy, It's really about what the market will accept. Since you don't have a competitor to compare to you probably should just increase slowly until you get resistance from your customers. You...
Hello Everyone,
I am considering a price increase for my coasters. They have been at the same price for over a year. Currently I am selling them for $20/set of 4. I back the tax out of that...
There are a lot of things that could be impacting that store's sales. How is the product displayed? How are they marketing the product? How does it fit in with the rest of the products in the...
Hey, she did say I ought to be selling them in CA. Sometimes things that seem like a silly idea, really isn't.
I also sell all my designs on my website. I also sell to individuals in my community, using my website prices. I have one of my particular coasters designs in a local retail store. My wholesale...
I agree that cash is king. When customers ask me if I take cc's, I simply reply that I do. If they ask if I perfer cash or credit/debit, I let them know I prefer cash. The fees are part of the cost...

Yeah, what Wozcreative said.
First, I find the home page not very viusally stimulating, sorry. There is nothing enticing me to stay and look around. I have no idea who Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are so their names do...
Tammy,
I wanted to share my experience as a crafter going into business. A little history ... my mom and dad have always been self-employed except for the few years my dad was in the service...
Tammy,
It was not my intention to recommend or not recommend you do this but merely give you some things to think about.
I'm offended by the "midlife crisis" comment. This is not some wild...
So you have an idea already for a small business? I am going to hit several points, not necessarily in any order but here goes .....
Is this something you can work from home? If so, it may make...
I believe I mentioned elsewhere to read some books by Dan Miller. He gives great true stories of people who found their niche, passion or whatever you want to call it. He also gives some thought...
Did you start by thinking about what skills you already had then trying to find a way to monetize those skills by turning them into a business? Or, did you look around on the web to see what others...
I just came across this thread when it was bumped up by the previous post.
WhenI started my at home business in Dec. 2012 I started too low, but I was quick with my first price increase. Yes,...
I have looked at the survey and have not sent it in. Primarily because I feel I need more information.
When I see the word "cheap form of advertising and marketing" I usually equate that with...
Okay, I am not a professional writer and will leave that constructive assessment to those who do it for a living. What struck me was the projected company value .... I immediately thought, "How did...

So you started out with staffing as your #1 choice.
Then...
I have not gone over to instagram. Honestly, I am not sure what it's all about except to send pictures, but to whom? How do I get them to others? I have had a hard time getting followers at...

Here where we live it is very...
