I came across this post this morning and decided to write my own resolutions for 2010.
Now, stepping back my goals in 2009 were.
1. To start my Etsy shop- did.
2. Make a sale- did made 2.
3. Market my shop as much as possible- did.
with the help of the marketing tracker sheet i can do this much easier.
4. get my Etsy related stuff organized- did for the computer. but my room is another story, lol.
5. improve my photography- have some, but would still like to improve on it.

My Resolutions For 2010
1. First and foremost HAVE Fun!
I started making jewelry as a hobby to make myself happy and I should continue to do so.
2. Make more sales.
This is always a goal for all Etsy shops. For 2009 i did 2 sales so I'm sure i can reach that before the end of 2010. My Goal? 4 sales a month would be a nice start for my first year of selling.
3. Improve photography - quality and quantity.
Take better pictures and More pictures.
I'd like to photograph at least 3 items a week.
4. List more often.
The more items in a shop the more appealing the shop is. and the more possible sales.
My goal- list 3 or more items a week.
5. Continue to create in a timely manner.
My goal 7 or more items finished each week. I've been doing this pretty good for December of 2009. So it shouldn't be a problem for 2010.
6. Attend at least one craft show.
7. Save back money made for a house.
Relates to business by what I want to use my profits for.
There is nothing like writing down goals to keep you honest!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the online sales--the competition is fierce on etsy!!
And M.Nucero's artwork is amazing..
Excellent goals, and very realistic. Although I see no issues with your current photography! And you know how picky I am about photos...
ReplyDeletePerhaps I will write some goals for the year... you are inspiring me!
Great goals, and it's also a good idea to look back and see how much you have already accomplished and how awesome you are, before moving on to achieve more!
ReplyDeleteI have already made my resolutions, but I think I might add attend a craft show to the list as well. Thanks for the inspiration and best of luck to you!
Those are great goals and very realistic! Photography is challenging and sometimes the worst part about selling online! Good luck with your first craft show - they can be nerve wracking but can be very worth it!
ReplyDeleteNice goals. I have to agree with #5 the most - I need to create in a timely manner!
