Yet another post about a sale! I decided to do a 20% discount for Black Friday, through till Monday.
Things have been dead in my shop over the last six weeks or so. August and September were quite good months and at one point I hardly had any stock left, but during October I think I only had one sale. November has been quiet too up till now. I sold an item last week, finally hitting 40 sales! I had another sale yesterday when I started my Black Friday sale so I'm now at 41 sales.
I'm still unsure about whether to continue with this business. Sometimes I feel quite positive about it, but other times, like where there are no sales and I still have a ton of credit card debt, I feel like it's pointless. Any new ideas I have involve me having to spend money on new/different fabrics, so they're not worth pursing at this point because I can't afford it. I can't even afford to sew any personal projects for myself at the moment. I think my plans for now are to try and make as much stock as I can without having to buy anything new. But then part of me says, what's the point in making stuff that no one wants to buy...?
Anyway, I finished a batch of cloth pads and uploaded them recently. They're 8 and 9 inch sizes. I'm going to work on a batch of jersey pads next. I was going to add some pictures here, but actually they're very boring to look at! They're just individual photos and they definitely look better when they're in a big batch.
I should get back to sewing.
