Back in Black!

I'm starting Black Friday early.... hey, just taking a page from the playbook of all the major retailers who are going to be open on Thursday night this year! That said, between now and Sunday, November 25th, feel free to use coupon code BLACKFRIDAY12 at The Sunny Attic and receive 10% off your purchase!

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

Happy New Year!

Since The Sunny Attic officially opened its virtual doors on November 13, 2011, my little shop has accomplished the following:

• 1,057 shop views
• 43 favorites (meaning specific items in my shop or the shop itself have been added to other users' "Favorites" lists on Etsy)
• Inclusion in three Treasury lists (check 'em out here, here, and here if you're curious)
• Twelve sales

Since getting the shop up and running, I've also experimented with search ads, coupon codes, and the Etsy Showcase tool, and I've fine-tuned my shop policies in order to both a) protect my reputation as a seller and b) provide better service to my customers and prospective customers. I still have a lot to learn and tweak, but on the whole the experience has been extremely positive so far.

Goals for 2012 include exploring more cost-effective shipping alternatives (for both me and my buyers), updating this blog on a more regular basis, and, of course, listing more awesome hand-crafted and vintage items for sale! So stay tuned... 2012 promises to be an exciting year for The Sunny Attic!
