Did You Miss Me..... Blogging and how it impacts on your business

Hi Folks, Have been a very Busy Bee, since I last Blogged.

 After having 5 deliveries in 4 weeks and having to help my Friend Gary, with the opening of a new restaurant, as well as trying to keep my business running, Blogging, came in last.

 But, also I discovered something else, that I didn't expect, but was interesting anyway and a lesson learned .

Since, I stopped Blogging, because I usually was working 4, 13 hour days and by the time I got home, it was late and I was exhausted and stressed and needed a little time to unwind, before bed.

A pattern started to emerge, which I found interesting. Simply, since I stopped blogging, that my Internet sales from both eBay & my Website, went way, way down, as well as my Facebook page took less hits & likes. As well as that, my customer footfall, fell as well. 

Now after reading the above , you might think, that it negative, but I would disagree, because it has shown me that even though I blogged, I had no idea, how it actually did impact on my business and how it helped me reach more customers, that I never knew that I could. 

Also, when I lasted blogged, 2 of my newest customer, one who arrived at 10.45 p.m. to get Stringing Elastic, for her daughter, rang me because they had seen my Blog. ( As long as I'm waken, I'm Open.....) 

So I have learned my lesson and believe me, so should you.

Wondering, Waiting & Wishing

Wondering, Waiting & Wishing

 

So still waiting for my beads to arrive from The Philippines, Now not the suppliers fault, may I add, ad they have rang me & emailed me to check.

But it seems that the Airline or the carrier ( who will remain nameless),  thinks that it would be nice for my Beads to travel around Europe, before I get them. they have been at 2 German Airports over 3 Days and then went to Brussels for 2 days and are still there. Am I the only one Wondering Why ?????.  Oh and I'm waiting as well for another smaller Delivery from China, which should be here with a selection of 3 more Wedding Charms to add to the Wedding Collection, plus some out of stock Items. They both will likely arrive on the same Day,

Then we will be having Bead Central Again

and the same customer is due back for more Wedding Charms..... Happy days..

As for the wishing , Just get my beads here, so I can get them sold.

I love getting deliveries, even though, I know what's coming.

It's like Christmas.

 

Oh I do remember a delivery, that did end up in Dubai once

 

So I am Wondering, Do any of the Beaders out there, ever had an experience like this . Would love to hear about it

 

Till then I will just have be Patient
