So far the sales for the Christmas holiday season starting in October has been really good. But, 85% of the sales has been vintage and distressed frames on eBay. I feel frustrated with Etsy still and wish I could change some things right now. I just can't yet though. I need to start to lower prices more on eBay and Etsy. I did a 25% coupon for Cyber Monday, Black Friday, and Small Business Saturday. No sales from Etsy happened with this coupon. I even had my items in Promoted listings for the whole weekend, and still no sales.  I am planning on doing some changes the first of 2017, and this will include making Cross necklaces more so. I will also be painting more frames and other items to sell. Distressed look on some. I will continue to sell vintage but only the vintage I know will be selling, which sometimes is not easy to tell. I have sold 5 frames in the past month so the supplies are about out.  Well, Here are my shops https://www.etsy.com/shop/StreetCrossingDesign

Very few emails now and the way I have to promote is much different. I have chosen to go to different shops every week and find some newer shops to promote. I have handmade lists that I use to promote these shops. I try to go through all the lists and delete the ones that have sold that week. One list in particular is for Christmas gifts. I have many of my regulars (shop owners who have become friends) in which I continue to promote each week. I also use Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Twitter, and now Instagram more so than ever before. I also am going to the teams and promoting more and even considering starting my own, but not sure what I would call it. It is harder, more difficult to get an item promoted all these different ways. Instagram is new to me, I tried to understand it in the past, but had no such
