New News for the New Year!

Hey guys!

I've got a bunch of stuff to talk about now that the holiday event has ended. This post will cover the website, new products being planned, and some other promotional information I am working on.

   First, I'll talk about the plans for the website. My boyfriend, and best friend, has agreed to help me create a better looking site during his down time. We will be revamping the whole site, but luckily this will be done offline and will not affect the viewing or purchasing of items in the web store. We are working towards making it more of a PayPal oriented store. It will not look like the store does now, but it should be a bit more user-friendly and easy to figure out.

   Second, as you may or may not have noticed, I have been posting a lot more new items to the Etsy shop. I've preferred to use the Etsy shop while I attempt to make the changes to the shop. I've been mostly posting the bottle cap earrings that happen to be pre-made and kept in stock at my mom's office, but I've also been adding items that have never been in the web store like the previously mentioned Deathly Hallows necklace, and the shrinky dink Twitter bird earrings. There are also the bottle cap pins and key chains that I had talked about and one completely new item, the felt cloud with falling stars. There are still more new items to come including some possible sewing projects, new bracelets to be kept in stock, and some papercrafts since I have recently come to own my first Cricut machine. I am still working on a few new art projects to sell, as well.

  Third, there will definitely be some more promotions including a raffle, more coupon codes, and special sales. I will be coming up with a way to allow you to purchase the tickets for the raffle. Every purchaser will automatically receive a 10% off coupon for the Etsy shop. There will be four 25% off coupons, one 50% off coupon, 2 non-painted bottle cap pins of the winner's choosing, 2 non-painted bottle cap keychains of the winner's choosing, and a prize basket for one grand prize winner. In total, there will be 10 chances to win. The further details about the raffle will come in a later post when I have more of it figured out. As for more  coupon codes, there will be ones for upcoming holidays, such as Valentine's day, St. Patrick's day, Easter, etc. My 100th customer, this won't necessarily be an Etsy customer, will recieve a special deal as well. If things start to pick up, I will most likely do birthday and thank you specials. There may also be some surprise sales in the Etsy shop, so be on the lookout.

   Finally, I'd also like to do some affiliating. If there is anybody out there who has a web store or Etsy shop that would like to do some advertise-for-advertise with me, send me an e-mail at 3eyegraphics@gmail.com or message me at any of the other sites listed in the side bar. Don't forget, the best way to stay updated on the shop and what I'm up to, is to get connected. Follow the blog, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook page.

Have a Happy New Year!
