SPRING HAS REALLY SPRUNG!!!!

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Spring is really here now, with all the lovely flowers in bloom and lighter nights. Everyone seems to be in better spirits and looking forward to the summer.

Lots of Spring/Summer fairs to look forward to.

I will be concentrating on promoting the website all week and hopefully adding a few features for you too.

I love all the designs that everyone has added, would love to see even more on there. The more links we all put on the site, the quicker we reach the top of Google, which can only be a good thing for more sales!!

If anyone has any suggestions for the development of the site please e-mail Laurie at info@creativestores.co.uk, I would love to hear from you!

Thanks and here's to a great working week!

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY??

I have been doing a lot of research since launching the website.

I know if I want to advertise my own website in a magazine or other website I pay a lot in advertising fees. I would love to know what people think of the £4.99 I have set on the site. Remember this gives you a banner advert plus you can list all your items and if you want put hyperlinks directly into your own website or any other marketplace you currently use.

I know that I have had more sales since putting my own products on the site in CANDY JEWELS.

I always think you need to speculate to accumulate and £4.99 is a very small price to gain more sales.

Store of the day can be seen on Facebook all Day by thousands of users I have networked with all over the world. This is also free advertising for you.

The website is also advertised on UK HANDMADE and other related sites.

STORE OF THE DAY TODAY IS: http://www.creativestores.co.uk/ParableDesigns/

Parable is a small British company, producing handmade luxury candles and lamps, derived from a unique collection of vintage wallpaper printing rollers. Parable's methods to make products that are seamless and in relief, make these quality products truly unique and exquisite.

As seen on, 'Kirstie's Homemade Christmas' on Channel 4 and now featured in, 'Decorating with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen'.

All your comments negative or positive will be greatly received.

Thanks. Laurie x
