Etsy Friday - August Goal

July is ending real soon :) and here comes August~

I'm pretty pleased with what I have achieved in July as most of my goals are met (even though the sales came in a very strange graph pattern). My sales (calculator click click) has up by 300%. Thanks to people who love my works and support me! Thank you all for giving me this great opportunity :D :D

Some of you may know that I have decided to separate my paper goods from my girl illustrations. This decision might effect my sales in August as my current shop's items will drop dramatically to only 12 items. I will try my best to draw and put more new items. 


I also realize that it is not easy to manage two shops together. However, the cohesiveness of my shop is very important in order to keep the branding strong. Moderate varieties will enhance shop appearance but too much will clutter it. Anyway, this is my goals for my current shop:

1) to have 40 sales in total
2) to have 450 people to heart my shop (achieved 9/9/2010)







3) to reach 100 fans in the facebook (FINALLY on 16/9/2010)

4) 4 new illustrations (1 Birds of a Feather / 1 Whispers in Thy Ear / 2 new illustration ideas)
5) 1 original illustration (3 on 20/8/2010)

The new shop will be opening on the midnight of 1 August, once my Christmas in July sales end! And I shall update the goal for it tomorrow :)

By the way, I'm getting Mr Fox to be my marketing manager of the new shop ~
Hi, I'm Mr Fox, Nice to meet you *shy*
