Coupon?
So, as always, I get antsy when a few days go by without sales. I'm considering some kind of promotion. I was thinking of maybe saying if you follow my blog and leave a link to a blog post about my shop or items, you could get a certain percentage off? (I prefer this to an all-out giveaway. I'd go crazy deciding which item, for one.) I could announce it on my shop, and it would give me some nice promo.
Now the question is, what percentage would the coupon be for? As a shopper I remember thinking any percentage less than 50 wasn't worth a second look, but as a seller... I once gave a wholesale discount of 20% and it was almost heartbreaking. Which is crazy because I still have several checks from work I haven't given a second glance for a couple of months just sitting on my counter top. So. Money isn't an issue. I don't know. Any ideas out there? Think this is worth the bother? Is it tacky? Don't know why I should think it is, I'm just awful at self-promotion... Is 20% enough to generate interest? Should it be more? 25%? What, more? Now you're just talking crazy! What, you think I'm crazy? Well, I'm not the one arguing with her computer screen, honey. Nope.

Hello, Definitely no more than 20% - in fact I'd even say 15%. If the people are already looking at your blog or your Etsy shop, they're already interested in your work, so a small enticement is all that's needed. My customers get excited when I just offer them free shipping! Linda
