The reason! I've been making these necklaces for a while now. I'm getting better and faster, and I'm less wasteful with the materials. Also, I feel like I can handle any increase in volume if more people buy them at the lower rate. Most of the sales this month have been for my Beach House Bookshelf Necklace, which has been at £20, which is the rate I had been thinking of lowering many of the necklaces to - and since I'd been thinking about this change for a while, and I just decided to go for it!
It might not seem like a big difference, but these necklaces are actually what pay my bills! 90% of my sales come from people buying my bookshelf necklaces, so this actually feels like a big change for me as the impact could be big. Hopefully it all works out, and perhaps my jewellery will reach a wider audience. I'm ready and curious to see what happens!!
I get paid on the 8th. I'll be buying one around then and I can't decide which one yet! xo
ReplyDeleteHope the new price works well for you and you sell lots more! Hope your craft fairs go well too, I'm enjoying following your progress (although you're a lot further forward than me!) and your stalls are looking great!!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Anastasia! The price drop came at a good time for you ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks a lot Messypuppet, it's nice to know you're following my progress - if I can do this anyone can! :)
