*I said I wanted to redo a lot of my item photos because a lot of my item photos were outdated. I took a bunch of photos earlier this year with my new camera and I'm in the process of editing all the photos in my Etsy shop. I think it makes my item listings look a lot nicer. It's also fun to change things up.
*I wanted to experiment with techniques such as making my own paper. I haven't created a lot of new items this year, but I did find a store that has eco friendly paper I want to try out.
*I wanted to do at least one giveaway in 2012. I'm planning for this. Let me know what you think I should giveaway in the comments.
*One of my other goals was to find ways to promote my shop. I haven't done a lot of advertising because I don't have a lot of extra money to spend right now. I am planning to advertise on blogs and have a list of blogs I want to try my ads on. I'm also thinking of trying Project Wonderful again. My ads are kind of outdated so I'm going to redo them and also make some specifically for this blog. I did try Etsy search ads to see if they were effective and I didn't really find them effective for me.
*I said I wanted to do craft shows in 2012. I did one earlier this year. You can read about my experience here. If you have any suggestions for craft shows in Chicago, let me know!
*I used to sell a couple of my items in local shops. I might want to start doing that again. I haven't been actively looking for shops, but it's something I might do and try to see if I can get my items out there.
*My last goal was to keep blogging consistently and promoting this blog. I've been doing this successfuly. I keep a schedule for my blog entries and that has helped me blog consistently. I also post my blog link on a couple blogging Etsy teams every time I post a new entry and that has helped me promote this blog.
Do you set goals?
