2011 was an amazing year for
Memories for Life! Adding my laser engraved items really helped to grow my business! I created lots of new items and made my scrapbook-making more efficient.
I'm ready to take on 2012!
Here are this year's goals!
Blog Goals:
*Blog 4-5 Times Per Week
I was happy with my blogging goal for last year and want to continue to blog about the same amount this year.
*Blog Followers: 325 Followers
I originally thought 300 was a good goal, but wanted to challenge myself. 350 was my next thought, but I was afraid this may be a stretch, so 325 it is :)
*Etsy Sales: 366 Sales in 2012
This is definitely a stretch compared to my goals last year! But I want to make an average of 1 sale a day. I had 309 sales last year and I plan to add lots of new ideas to my shop, so I feel a sale a day is within reach for me. Wish me luck here!
*Shop Hearts: 750
Last year I far exceeded my goal, so again, I'm adding a bit of a stretch goal. This is about 11-12 new shop heats per month. The last part of 2011 was awesome for new shop hearts, so I hope all of 2012 is the same way!!!
Other Goals:
*Think about a new name for my shop. I would like to keep the "Memories for Life" part in there though.
*Redo my shop and blog banners to reflect my new name.
*Look into efficient advertising (focus on wedding items at first)
*Local advertising.
I found that once I got the word out about my products, people went nuts for them. Finding the most effective method will be the hardest part
*Work with local organizations on fundraising ideas.
I will sell the items to them at wholesale for them to make a profit for fundraising activities. (And this may be my best way for local advertising!)
