Well, as the title of this post has alluded, I was thinking globally when I opened up my esty shop in October and now I am acting uber-globally by making my pieces available at the local yoga studio. I am so excited about this move. I'm saying, "Yes friends and neighbors, this is me. Your local artisan. Support me if you and can, and hey, I take special orders, too." Those of you who know me, know very well that I am not shy at all. I love meeting new people and love being the center of attention. Yet, since starting this new business, I realized that I could be shy when it came to promoting myself. I just didn't want to be seen as a salesman (my apologies to all of those salesmen out there). Thankfully, those days are over. I confidently showed the owner of the yoga studio my pieces and very skillfully came up with an organized inventory sheet that tastefully described, labeled, and priced my pieces. She loved my work and we came up with a business plan that we both found positive. After leaving the studio that day with a deal sealed I felt like a legitimate small business owner.. Yes!
Next week I plan on checking in a the studio to see how my pieces are selling. I will keep you posted. Until then, get out and enjoy the meltdown (in New England at least).
