FEEDBACK

What is Feedback?
Feedback is a message, a number or a symbol (+, -) that you leave for someone after you make a purchase from someone or leave for someone after you receive an item. It tells a lot about the experience, the product and your overall 'experience.'

Why is Feedback Important?
Feedback to me is VERY IMPORTANT! It's the top of my list #1 of important things with running my ETSY shops! I actually look forward to logging in everyday to see if I have new feedback that was left. I strive for 100% feedback and take pride in all my work and CUSTOMER SATISFACTION/SERVICE!

What Does POSITIVE feedback mean to ME?
Feedback is important to me because it lets me know how I'm doing and it makes me feel proud. When I have happy and satisfied customers, I'm a happy shop owner and creator (See my Stats so far below)

Why is it important to leave people feedback?
I think it is SO important to leave feedback, but most of all communicate with the seller or the buyer. I love communication and making sure I answer all my customers questions and that they feel 100% satisfied that they are getting what the "WANT." I purchase lots of items online, whether it's supplies or fun things as gifts or for me and I ALWAYS leave feedback. I have NEVER left anyone  NEGATIVE feedback... I think if you have a bad experience or you are unhappy with your purchase you should contact the shop owner to see what you can work out! There is usually always a solution. 

* If your new to ONLINE shopping check out someones feedback before purchasing, it tells you ALOT! *

STATISTICS that I'm proud of

2012 Blog Calendar

I'm Back... 
Okay so I had this epiphany the other night and created a 'blog' calendar list for my personal blog and thought, "I'm going to do this for the cupcake one as well." Part of my New Year Goal list was to blog more, but also to learn more about the blogging world, the graphics and so much more...


I'm also transitioning from a PC to MAC so it will be a double Whammy!

I thought perhaps, if I have a goal, an organized way to accomplish at least my blogging goal, then PERHAPS I may be able to achieve my goal! Wow that's a lot of 'goal' in one sentence... So here is the lil' cupcake and the lil' twinkle star blog line up! I hope to accomplish it and look back and smile because each month I have set a plan to help me blog, daily... weekly... OR at the very least Monthly!

Okay! I've set my standards WAY HIGH! But I will accomplish this! I didn't find this on any silly site or another blog, BUT made it up myself.
