Another Holiday Tip

Last week I shared how I stay organized around the holidays by using a day planner and keeping all of my information in one spot. Today I thought I'd share another holiday tip I have for you: Gift Certificates.

I do a lot of custom work, especially around the holidays. Each year there comes a point where I have to decide that I have enough orders and that I will have to deactivate all of my Custom Listings until after the first of the year. This year I have decided to take a different approach. I plan to put a note in each of my Custom Listings saying: I am no longer taking orders for Christmas and all orders placed between now and Dec. 31st will be processed on Jan. 1st. If you would still like to give a Custom Album for a holiday gift, you can purchase one of my Gift Certificates for gift giving instead :) Even if you don't do custom work, you could still add a note in your listings about gift certificates. There are always late shoppers who want to buy on Dec. 23rd and still receive their gift on time! A gift certificate is the perfect gift. You can email them a file and have them print it themselves! I'd love to hear your holiday tips as well :)
