Lots of thinking
going on over here… Between shifts at the Hospitals, Day Dreaming, Sleepless
Nights and Creating I find myself wondering, searching and pondering!
Do I take the plunge?
It’s become difficult
to manage 2 shops, 2 blogs and in between all that, my Nursing Career, family,
friends and just LIFE.
I’ve been searching
for the answer to this question:
“Do I combine my
Girls and Boys shop, create one shop and one Blog?”
PROS
Easier to manage
More time to create
Less expense on
packaging, business cards and all that go along with having 2 shops
(1 is pink and girly,
1 is teal and boyish)
One Blog: I’ll be
able to focus on creating a blog that is about ME, my creations & Life
Better Marketing
One stop shop
Less stress of
logging in and out of both shops, back and forth
Attracting Mommy’s
and shoppers who have boys and girls
CONS
I lose, well have to
start fresh on all my Sales Stats and Feedback Ratings
Start Fresh on the
Blog (This May be a PRO)
Inform all my repeat
Customers and Hope they’ll make the change with me
Forgo all my cupcake
stamps, stickers etc… Stars for the boys
CREATE and come up
with a New Logo, Look and Design
Thoughts? I need some
help friends!?!
Meanwhile my little
brain is spinning trying to come up with a new name, new look and design… 90%
sure I’ll take the plunge, but it’ll be gradual… Have to use up all my cute
goodies for the stores now first!

Hi Stacy,
I look forward to meeting you too! I've been blogging on my personal blog for awhile, this blog is neglected and I hope to learn lots of new and fun things! I'm nervous too, but excited as well, hopefully we will walk away with lots of knowledge, new friends and exciting tips to get us going! My mind is off its rockers right now just thinking of a new 'name' to combine the shops! If you need any tips, advice or help with starting your shop, feel free to email me or we can chat at elevate! I love ETSY, thats where I started and where I will stay for now because I'm a full-time RN and its easy to use and navigate...
xoxo,
Crystal
I had a great time meeting you at Elevate! I hope you have a great week....xoxo
