Etsy Success- Holiday Boot Camp!

Oh my...well, with attempting to be a wife while getting my business up and moving is proving to be a challenge and a stretch of my time management skills (or lack there-of). We have had lots of sales in the first two months of business, and we thank you those of you who have contributed to that!!! And, quite a few custom orders as well!

Well, I am determined to do better, and use the timing of starting this venture as the perfect key to launching sales...we are approaching Christmas afterall! (Yes, I do use the word Christmas instead of "Holidays"!!!) That's right, school just started and already the stores are getting in their stock for fall and the Christmas season! Plus, Etsy Success launched their Holiday Boot Camp last Thursday...I was a bit hesitant at first, but after reading the pledge (and a few other posts, they have so much helpful information readily available to sellers it's wonderful!) I took it! I pledged on the event page, on my facebook page, and now here (which will also post to Twitter).

I, Nutmeg of Sugar Spice and Nutmeg, pledge to participate in the Etsy Success Holiday Boot Camp to the best of my abilities. I vow to check in every week, do my homework and support my fellow Holiday Boot Campers. I will read the weekly newsletters and blog posts, check in on the weekly forum thread, read the weekly blog post, check off the checklists and salute the mascot. I promise to share what I've learned with those who need it, support my fellow Etsy indiepreneurs and, most of all, have a positive and persistent attitude. I understand that together we can spread the word about our handmade and vintage goods, making this holiday season a more unique and meaningful one to gift givers and give-ees everywhere!

So, here's to a hopefully incredible and successful holiday season, hopes for lots of traffic in my shop and lots of new customers shopping for special unique gift items!!!
