This is my favorite of the last round of bracelets. I've gotten two of them photographed and up on my Etsy shop. It's funny, I really like the lighting for the pulled-back shot this time (not shown here), and it was because I set up the picture next to the grow lights. Well, the vase with the twigs happened to be sitting next to the grow lights, but whatever.
I went ahead and bought an ad on Facebook as well. I made a page on FB for Physaria Designs with some pictures and links to the Etsy site. FB has it set up so you can target who sees your ads, and I did really rudimentary selections of: women over 18, with interests like crafting, gardening, reading, etc. (gee, like me!). I pay something like 50 cents each time someone clicks on (or likes) my ad, and I set a limit of $5 a day for a week, just to see how it goes.
I think it's doing what I want it to do, which is get my Etsy shop out there for people to see. I set it up around 7 pm a couple of days ago, and there is a little flurry of "likes" that I get notified about via email that has happened after 7 pm. I think after that I "use up" my money.
This hasn't resulted in any sales yet, but I'll give it a couple of weeks and see what happens.
Wonderful! I haven't looked through your previous postings to see if you've talked about Pinterest so forgive me if you have. I just wanted to suggest that you set up a Pinterest account and see if that helps raise awareness of your jewelry. It's amazing and I think having a Pinterest that you can "pin" your creations on would really help promote your business.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Linda!
Poppy, that's a fabulous idea. I've put in for an invite just now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Check your stats later today to see if any of your traffic is coming from Pinterest. I "pinned" this blog posting and went to your Etsy site and "pinned" it as well. I know I've had a good deal of traffic from Pinterest even prior to my setting up a Pinterest account.
DeleteYou can pin your new creations to your Pinterest boards. I think Pinterest prohibits promoting only yourself so be sure to pin other things you find interesting from other sources too.
I'm excited for you Linda! I think you're going to be a huge success!
That's awesome! Thank you again and for your kind words.
