But I was thinking ...I guess this is a little late. But I was thinking about it. As I've said before, it's hard for me to judge whether your work is too expensive. It's more complicated than simply doing a x7 calculation, because things are valued here differently, and depending on earnings.<br /><br />I was thinking, however, that perhaps it's not your prices that are too expensive, but that you're trying to sell items that have too much value. Considering the current financial situation of most people, perhaps they just don't have the spare money to buy your stuff. That's why you get so many "likes" but not enough sales. I can't really say what the solution is. I'm probably the world's worst entrepreneur, (whenever I had to do business stuff at school, it was pretty much a disaster).<br /><br />But I have come to realise that the people who are most successful at flea-markets and school market days, are the ones who sell what people need rather than what they want. For example, at school events, the food sellers always make the most money because everybody needs to eat. And since the food was going to be bought from somewhere, they're willing to fork out for it.<br /><br />I'm not saying you should sell food - and I know the point of your business is unique accessory-type-things, but if you can think of things people would feel less guilty of spending money on, they might be more willing to buy them. Not sure if that makes sense. Try and think of stuff people would spend money on anyway.<br /><br />Keep at your work though. You have a gift, and as your name spreads, you will get your breakthrough.<br /><br />God bless<br />Your totally non-business-minded friend<br />Ajnos >'.'<Ajnos Gamgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847479825646638118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736182194607754289.post-57369026807702269082011-05-17T23:45:37.817-04:002011-05-17T23:45:37.817-04:00I just love the design on the "Two Hearts And...I just love the design on the "Two Hearts And A Rose" jewelry, plus I'm interested to see the Selkie Bracelet. I don't know about steampunk so I sadly can't complement on that. I'd say keep on showing the world how amazing your crafts are!!!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403020559664793788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736182194607754289.post-10379334923209575592011-05-16T13:59:50.933-04:002011-05-16T13:59:50.933-04:00I think steampunk kids' clothes is a cute idea...I think steampunk kids' clothes is a cute idea! :-)<br />I think the reason no one has ever made any before is most people's idea of that style of clothes (at least, for girls) is they think of mostly corsets and other form fitting sort of stuff. However, we know it doesn't always have to be like that!<br /><br />Anywho...go at it!<br /><br /><br />Oh...and as far as why things aren't selling...my thoughts is that some of your items do seem priced a little high. For me they are, anyway, and you know I love a lot of your stuff.<br /><br />~ WrosieRhoswen Faerie Wrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720640403921392686noreply@blogger.com
