Poll Results: The Best Sale

With the holidays quickly approaching it is time to start thinking about sales. They heavily influence where a customer makes their purchase. I conducted a brief poll of 211 participants with different "sale" options to see what was the most favored. Free shipping was the most popular with buy one get one free in a close second. Interesting results to keep in mind if you are a shop owner.

I recently started offering free global shipping for orders over $25 so it looks like I am heading in the right direction.

I hope these results are helpful to you, and be sure to check back next Tuesday for more poll results. If you have any suggestions for future poll results that you would like to see please feel free to leave a comment.

Thank you for reading,

Happy Cyber Monday!

Cyber Monday; a day to shop online. A day for good sales and electronic funds transfers.

It is also the last day of my last sale of the year. If you haven't already checked it out please feel free to follow the link below:

http://1337art.etsy.com

I just finished my last craft bazaar, and I have decided that 1337art will be strictly online only. This means more time to make new items such as the two wonderful pairs of clip on earrings that I just put up for sale.

They are made with Gun Metal, Swarovski Crystals, and Silver color clip on components.

I'm going to ship them in a sleek black cotton filled box that is the perfect size to slip into a stocking or hand off with a greeting card.

You can find both the Gothic Sparklers and Pink Sparklers for sale at my shop.

I have more clip on earrings to add soon, and I have plans to offer a large variety early next year. If you are looking for specific clip on earrings please let me know.

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a Happy Cyber Monday!
