At the end of the summer we asked shopkeepers
to submit posts to us about opening their own doll-related online shop.
We got so busy that we decided to hold on
to the posts until 2015 was looming.
Many of us use this time of the year to make decisions about the next one --
What do we want to accomplish???
And, of course, dolly people sometimes
want to open a new shop in the new year.
So we are going to start uploading the shopkeepers
posts now as part of this "resolution" idea.
Here was the original idea described below,
and if you want to participate,
please send in your posts to nora.demington@gmail.com!
This will be labeled as "The Pros and Cons of Opening an Online Shop Series."
Fun title, huh? Haha.
Calling all shopkeepers!
We are looking for a handful of online shopkeepers
to write blog entries for us in a new series.
You can sell doll clothing, accessories, foods, furniture, patterns, etc.
Whatever doll-related thing you sell!
If you want to sign up, you literally only have to write one post for us, haha.
And you just write it in an email, and we post it here.
Send them to nora.demington@gmail.com.
Very simple.
The post should contain this info:
1) Background of your shop
Why you started it, and brief overview of how you started it.
Where is shop located?
Ebay? Etsy? Separate website?
Why did you chose this location?
How many years have you run your shop?
How successful do you think it has been?
2) The Cons of Opening and Operating an Online Shop
3) The Pros of Opening and Operating an Online Shop
This series is designed to discuss opening and operating an online presence.
Many of us struggle with the idea of having our own store.
We might want to do it.
We might dream of doing it.
But yet, we don't do it.
We are even among those chickens, haha.
So we wanted to have a rational discussion of this topic.
With thoughts and opinions from people who have an online shop.
So please, send your posts to us
and we will load them up here for discussion purposes!
Send them to nora.demington@gmail.com.
There is no such thing as a right or wrong answer to these things.
We are looking for personal reactions to these pros and cons topics.
So you don't have to be scared of other people
not agreeing with you or thinking the same way.
Odds are, we will understand where you are coming from!
Often this topic gets discussed on boards, or chat rooms, or private threads.
We wanted a source that was a little bit more public.
So remember, anyone can read these!
But don't let that discourage you.
The fact that anyone can read these posts
and get an idea of the experience of owning and operating
an online presence is a good thing!
If you wish to remain anonymous but still give us your pros and cons opinions,
you can also certainly do that!
Just email us and we can work that out. :-)
Any questions?
