📦 congratulations on that huge order, it is really interesting seeing all your inner workings of running a stationary business and the reality of how much time and energy it takes. I’m tempted by omnisend as currently using my website newsletter and customising to my branding is proving very difficult to do do. Love how upbeat you are x
Aww thank you! I really try and stay upbeat…I do also grumble and swear at machines as I’m only human 🤣 I think that’s why I never got on with my previous email marketing platform because it seemed to take ages to try and brand the emails and I could never get it to look how I wanted. Omnisend is so much more streamlined so it feels more manageable. I need to go and subscribe to your newsletter now xx
@@SunshineLaneUK my circuit machine and my WiFi printer has had a good old grumble at so get it! I’m hoping on designing our next newsletter next week with all our updates, but as I don’t like what my website provider offer I don’t use it as much and for blogs especially it can be a game changer, although Pinterest is another good converter of traffic, my previous business did exceptionally well from some viral pins… they are still top on Pinterest but lead to nowhere now sadly.
📦Thanks for including the portion for handling emails. I'm getting ready to launch my micro biz and this will come in really handy. It's just me and my husband so keeping things simple is a must.
I feel like a need to print out something with ‘simple is a must’ and stick it somewhere very visible! It’s definitely a good rule to go by. I had a super busy week this week but still managed to send out an email with omnisend!
Great vlog. You really pushed through, even when you were ill. It was such a lot for one person, so it was great that you had some little sunshine elves to help 😂 Well done on securing such a big order 🎉 📦📦📦
Just AMAZING! You did a fantastic job. Love your products. Sticker your stickers 😂 that cracked me up. I’m sure it’s wasn’t too fun, but you pulled through.
Quick question, would the Japan order need your price on the back, as they will charge in their own currency, as the price stickers sell at? Well done on getting your order delivered, big mission! Great efforts by all involved I say! 👏👏👏. Love to hear about how the adoption progression is going if you can, have you got a child identified yet? I’ll have another look at Notion, I’ve been using the free Click Up til now, as it has lots of bolt ons as collabs with other apps for as your business grows. I’m more embroidery than stationary, preferring to do mainly household items. Currently working on my new linen napkin ranges….
They didn’t really need the pricing on there but because I wanted to make sure my brand details are on there, I still used my usual packaging on the back of everything and kept it on there anyway. I did give them the option to customise the packaging but they were happy to take everything as is. Fingers crossed we’ll be bringing a little one home around October time (we have a match identified!) but we have another panel to get through yet in September xx
well done on getting all that done! can I ask how you go about doing wholesale with items you dont have in stock? do you have a lead time that allows for you to order the products in?
I have a standard lead time which takes into account the time to reorder most products that are quick to get hold of. I have certain products that do take longer to come in (mainly enamel pins and washi tapes) so in my terms I state that for larger quantities of those items it may take longer, and that I will confirm the exact lead time when they make an order enquiry. Hope that makes sense! I’ve already had a few questions about getting into wholesale so I might do a dedicated q&a on it - so feel free to drop me any questions either here or at emma@sunshinelane.co.uk 🥰
@@SunshineLaneUK amazing thank you Emma! I’ve just opened my faire shop and only listed greetings cards so far as I was so unsure about pins and Washi. That’s a huge help and I’ll have a think of some more questions ☺️
@LucyLocksArt that is a good thing about faire is you have to accept the order and put in a dispatch date so you can always message them before you accept it. Also, in some cases I’ve also offered to send some pins straight away and follow up with the rest when they come in
🎁🎁 loved hearing all about the big order. Such a good insight into how a small business manages it
So glad you liked it 🥰
