New Business Card and Banner for Amor De Plata

In case you haven't noticed, I have a new banner for Amor De Plata. My bright new banner was created by Etsy shop Stypecreative.etsy.com. I was so pleased with my banner that I asked Stypecreative to make some business cards and round stickers (shown above) for me. The back of my business cards is the silver. I'm very pleased with all of the graphics stypecreative did for me.

Hickam Craft Fair

We have now tried a craft sale to sell our items. This was my (AmorDePlata.etsy.com) and my hubby's (HawaiiRayRay.etsy.com) first craft sale. We joined up with Angela (AMKstiches.etsy.com) to sell our Etsy items. Angie had the greatest sales and did well, Ray sold a few and I had a sale.

My items apparently are not for craft sales, maybe home shows would be better for me. It is lots of work and took about 10 hours of time. I have to make more items and I just can't find the time. I am very happy to have had this experience and we did give out lots of business cards and Etsy Hawaii Street Team postcards during the craft sale. This may be good for future sales and maybe Chrismas sales.

Talent Database

You must go to this website, it is absolutely amazing. It's pretty new and has the best talent in the world. Artists, photographers, writers, dancers etc. They give you your own page and of course it's free. Who knows, maybe you can be discovered!

Anyway I have my new page and they give you a pop-factor number starting at 50. As you socialize, people bookmark you or comment on your items or pictures your pop-factor rises. I was amazed that my pop-factor was 118! They keep the key to the rising pop-factor very secret. I had quite a few people bookmark me and my number just rose by a few numbers and now it jumped to 118. Check it out:

Amor De Plata Domain Name is Mine!

I'm so happy I just purchased my domain name. Since I really don't have any computer skills and don't want to stress, I'm having all my amordeplata.com searchers forwarded to my Etsy shop at amordeplata.etsy.com automatically. Oh my gosh, it took all of 2 minutes to sign up, entered my Etsy site name and done. If I had known it was this easy, I would have done it years ago.

A special thanks to Blissbyheather.etsy.com for all of her helpful tips and information on promoting your site in the Etsy forum. Yahoo domain names for $1.99 a year at yahoo business site! You can't beat that. Regular price is $10.00 per year, which is not bad. I LOVE Etsy, they help you so much in all aspects of promoting and success in your business.
