JohnBarton Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 P.S. Don't be dependent just on Ebay. Use ETSY, Amazon, Yahoo, MySpace, Facebook, and whatever other free or nearly free places that there are too advertise what you do. Think of the web as the sky with people drifting by on clouds who happen to drfit past one of your billboards or shops and say "gee, I want to look at this person's stuff a little more". It's a lot of work but it's worth it and if you set it up right then your MySpace etc..... places can be practically timeless as far as the information presented is concerned. I don't have any of that yet since I am so specialized in pool cue cases. I have plenty of business from the billiard world. But I plan to have a presence in those places down the road and if I were in the general leathergoods business then I would have them right now. Unless of course we were so good that that we were swamped with orders. :-) Some cue makers I know don't even have email and they have year's worth of orders. They earned their rep networking the old fashioned way, by putting a lot of rubber to the road until they got established. Quote Support Quality. We are all humans. Buy the best no matter where it's made. That way everyone lives in harmony. Nature knows no flags.
