I soon realized, shortly after going into business for myself, that outside of making the jewellery and sourcing great beads...I am not great! I really struggled with the photography aspect of it but now, while not perfect, I feel like that is okay.
My next big struggle is with tagging items. I make them, take their pictures, post them and then I don't tag them until right before a show when it is panic time! Then, once they are tagged the tags either look second rate or fall off immediately.
So I have been doing some investigating and taking a nosy little peak while in boutiques and shops to see what they are doing for tags. I doscovered what I think is great last week. A clothing barb that is used to afix the tag and is applied with a tagging gun. Today I ordered the gun, extra needles and the barbs. I am now in the process of ordering custom tags that I will add my price and description to and....voila! I am confident that my tags will look ridiculously fabulous.
While tackling the price tag issues I also had an inkling to investigate earring card options. I am also ordering those for my shop now! They will be on quality card stock and will be white with black chandaliers printed on them and it will look like the earrings are hanging from the chandaliers! Cute, no? My website address will be printed across the bottom.
I feel like I am well on my way to tackling the price tag issues in my life!
