Trying New Digital Marketing Techniques

Our small handicraft business is trying out new digital marketing techniques this past month and in the weeks to come. Being in our little shop in Chiefland is no longer feasible and we will have to close soon. With this dang Covid thing, my mom being sick more than she is well, my own arthritis kicking up a storm, and not being able to spend too much on gas. Well, ya’ll all know how that goes.

Going strictly online selling requires a whole different set of tools. So we are exploring Google Products Free Listings, Facebook Online Shop Free Listings, Pinterest Regularly Schedule Posts and Pins, and creating more short videos to share on all of them including our TikTok Account. We are like our fellow crafters’ posts, occasionally remembering to make comments and sharing those as well. Once we have figured out a doable routine of posting we will share that and some of our results on our Southern Women Crafts Business Blog. If you haven’t subscribed to that one yet check it out.

In the meantime, if you are in the Chiefland, Florida area during the weekends please check our Facebook page to see if one of the Southern Women Crafters is able to be in the shop. As of today, it looks like we have a commitment from Katie for Friday and Saturday (10 am to around 2 pm)

 

P.S.

If you have any questions about our handcrafted or even our print-on-demand designs please feel free to send us an email through our CONTACT form. For some reason, we are having trouble getting all of our calls from our toll-free number and our regular number lately. Thank you for your patience.

Getting Ready for Last Vendor Event

Now that we have opened our very own shop we may not have to go to all these events around the state to get the word out on what we are doing and showcasing our fine products. Of course, as soon as I pay off the trailer guy for my brand new 8.5 feet by 10 feet trailer with a removable hitch I will still want my brother to build us a nice little house on top of it so that we can still do a little traveling around the state in the fall and winter months. That still needs more money to get that completed so we can only try and sell as much as we can from our new one and pray everything works out before the end of summer. It would be really nice to attend one show a month with our “Shop on Wheels“.

Bricks and Sticks-Well Sort Of

We are going to try the “Bricks and Sticks” route once again. This week we went over to Chiefland, Florida to check out this family-run flea market I have been reading about on Facebook called, “Chiefland Farmer’s Flea Market“, well what else would it be called. Been in business for quite some time and the owners, an older couple, try to keep their website and Facebook page updated with information about their vendors and the special events they host each month. It is sort of a jumble but it has a nice feel to it and we are really looking forward to having a place with all of our inventory and supplies in one place. I can go over on Wednesday and Thursday to create new inventory, update the website and even work in peace and quite on my books. On Fridays through Sunday we will be opened to the public.
