I keep learning new stuff about customer's tastes. They like CHEAP! I made a ton of double strand bracelets to bring as a higher ticket item at $30, and not one sold. I also made maybe 10 additional pairs of earrings today to beef up the inventory, and a bunch sold at $10. A bunch of single strand bracelets went at $25, and these women love blues and oranges...especially oranges. Most of my stuff with coral agate and sunstone went out the door. Part of it is the whole sports team color thing...they all have kids playing sports, so I guess it's the local color.
I also learned that my sister is a unakite and blue sodalite junkie. I've already made her one or two things with them, and she was picking out stuff for a custom order...that looks exactly like what I've already made her.
Wire wrapped pendants at $18, and nothing...not one sale on them.
But they ate up the $7 bookmarks and $5 quick wire wrapped rings that I threw together in 5 minutes.
