Listening to: John Butler Trio – Good Excuse
Wow, it’s been sooo long (I keep saying that!).
The market was a flop. Whether it wasn’t the right market for Monsoons & Mangoes, or down to position or lack of stock, I’ll never really know. In the days following I felt very defeated by it all and was ready to find a job.
It was a good idea at the time, right? :)
Then I had a “market night” on facebook and did really well. It was so fun and was great to be interactive with my wonderful customers and fans again. I MISSED IT! I think the whole process was about me remembering exactly why I sell online:
- It’s convenient to work when I want to
- I love photographing my items and prettying them up in Photoshop
- I’m addicted to the internet
- I love the social aspect and the instant gratification of people loving what I make! :)
