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!
