So the debate begins on whether I’m going to keep up my business. We’re nearing the 1st anniversary of starting my art/blanket business and I said I’d re-evaluate at that point to determine if I’m going to keep it up. I’ve pretty much definitely given up on the art and plan on selling off my remaining supplies on Craigslist in the next month or so. But the blankets are doing well – in fact, I just sold a blanket today, which I’m very happy about.
And if I decide to keep up with the blanket business, it’ll mean I need some new promotional materials. I exclusively order my stuff from VistaPrint (they rock), and they have a special right now where I can use the code “BlogPostcards100†during checkout to receive 100 free postcards (that code can be used by anyone – feel free to use it if you want to). They are always having good specials like that and I’ve always been happy with the items I order from them. I’ve also encouraged others to use them – in fact, my mother used them for a big promotional mailing she did when she revamped her website and started an online store.
So I’ll probably be making more custom postcards that don’t mention the art (my old postcards ONLY featured my art – not the blankets). And today’s sale was a nice indication that I should keep it up.
