2011 brings year 4 of Milton and Margie’s! Chicago was very kind to me and my business in 2010, and I hope 2011 gets even better. Some highlights from 2010 include working with Kelli to create the Urban Folk Circuit, figuring out which Chicago craft shows to do and not do, meeting and making a handful of close vendor friends (“frendors” according to Jimmy Thomas), having crazy success at the Renegade craft shows, and branching out to having my candles at shops in other states.
Goals for this year:
- Get back into listing things regularly on Etsy: 5 listings per week.
- Expand on my branding. I’ve got a sticker maker now that works really well (thanks, mom!), and I am going to ad a sticker with my logo, website, and name to the bottom of the candles.
- Get my own website to branch out from just having an Etsy site.
- Get my candles in at least two more shops.
- I’ve gotten better, but I still need to work on staying on top of accounting/money records.
Happy New Year!
