So far in my journey to bead tycoon status I've made four sales on my Etsy online shop. The last sale involved a lot more customer service than any of the others. The customer convo'd (contacted via the Etsy communication system) me with a request to adjust the length of a bracelet he wanted to order. I contacted the buyer to let him know I'd be happy to make the change. He then ordered the bracelet. As per my shop policies, I wanted to send the order out inside the 3 business day time period, but I was having trouble getting more of the exact type of chain that I used for the bracelet in the picture. I convo'd the buyer with pictures of the original chain and a chain that was as similar as I could get, and asked if the change would be OK with him. He convo'd me, saying no problem. So, I made the bracelet, and shipped it out by US Post Light Packet on December 6th. (Through Canada Post, of course.) This was within the 3-day time limit promised in my shop policies. I then emailed the buyer to let him know that the package had been shipped. Mission accomplished...or so I thought.
This blog is meant to be a record of my adventures as a new home-based business owner. Starting my jewellery business was one of the most daunting things I've ever done, next to giving birth. Especially since I was (am?) pretty technically stunted. In this blog I will describe the trials, tribulations and, hopefully, eventual successes I experience while navigating the world of (really, really, really small) business. I also plan to use this blog to talk about all the aspects of jewellery design that fascinate me, keep me addicted, and cause me to spend thousands of dollars (What, honey? No, I didn't say thousands...) on gemstones, beads, findings, etc. I welcome your input, ideas, and stories of similar experiences in beading, jewellery design, or running a handcrafts business.
