How do you get sales?

Ok, How do you advertise? That's the question of the day! My Dad, the thinker......the realist one....the pain in the butt.....the one you say to yourself "Gosh, why did I not think of that?" person, said to my aunt and I the other week. "So, Ladies how are you getting people to know you are on Etsy and selling items". Oh we said, "Well we have lot's of business cards." Oh wonderful, and who in the world are you going to see gets the cards?" he said with a small little smirk on his face. Well that gots us to thinkg. Hmmmmmm.


Do not fear. I suggested to my Barb ( that's the B in BLT) that we should get into one craft show a few month's prior to Christmas. In my town, we have a few large shows. I can see if we can get in to one of them. Barb was in agreement. See what you can do. I wasted no time and searched and searched and Ladies and Gentleman........Drum roll.........Today I came home from visiting my grandchildren, checked my emails and was surprised to find a application to the ABWA (American Business Womens Association) craft show being held in my home town of Ephrata!!!!! Well, I will be calling Barb in the morning....get the information filled out and pray long and hard that we get accepted and then work our fingers to the bone in designing earrings and necklaces.

This is great. These are a few of the pictures we will send with our application. How exciting. Wish us luck!
