New Products

I'm adding new products that I'm hoping will bring in new customers that are looking for a top quality dog dish. They are unique dog dishes hand crafted by a company called Melia. I received a phone order for a pair of dishes a few days ago and the customer was very surprised at the low cost compared to other sites offering the same dog dishes. They can be personalized or not. I'm very excited to be able to offer such a quality product! Check them out for yourself and let me know what you think. Luxury Ceramic Dog Dishes

Been a while

OK I'm motivated today! I just got a new ceramic dog dish supplier and I'm really excited because they are fantastic looking and of fantastic quality. I'm going to post a bunch tonight.

I've been getting quite a lot of visitors from Twitter to my store which makes those quick posts worthwhile.

There's quite the buzz on buyitsellit.com today. Fees went up on the paid account from $4.95 to $9.95. Not too bad... actually a bargain based on other sites out there for hosting and having the tools for you to set up a great looking site with your own domain name. I think the problem is coming in for people that currently have free stores. With the new structure they'll be limited to 10 items in their store... that's not many at all. So many say they'll close their store. It's my understanding that this is all to curb fraudulant activity. I can see that working. People that are fraudulant aren't going to waste their time with a place where they can only post 10 items... most likely AND they don't want to spend $10 on a store if they are an ameture scammer. I was thinking about opening a new store, but I'll have to wait until my first store can pay for it.

Off to add some dog dishes to the website....

My First Sale

YAY ME!!! I have my first sale... well my first two sales! The first was a slipper dog bed. That was last Thursday. THEN a sale today for 8... that's right... EIGHT ceramic dog dishes. I'm so excited!!! I've been adding items daily and trying to get people to link to me on their sites. I'm also continuing with Cricket's class with anticipation for each new lesson.

Today I decided to add text to the website indicating when I last added products ... a tip from someone on buyitsellit.com. It lets everyone know it's an active site. I think I'll be changing that date everyday because I've been adding products non-stop for I don't know how long. I want to make sure I give variety and I want to become a one stop shop for people. I know when I buy from someone on the internet I'm thinking "do I need anything else they offer? Maybe I can save on shipping."

Time to get off the computer for tonight. I've decided of late to take some "me" time before bed and relax in front of the tv. I love working on the business but I need time away from the computer every now and then.
