Adventures in Business

So the shop has been open for a little over a month. I've had two sales! Yay! But page views and hit have been slow so I've decided to explore the different facets of running an online business. I opened up a Google Analytics account and have begun tracking pageviews and hits, referring sites etc. Hopefully I can use this to spend my advertising and listing budget wisely and learn more about what my friends in yarn are looking for or interested in. Next experiment is AdWords!

I'm also working on some pattern designs to go with the bamboo yarn - I can't stop making this bamboo and I've ordered a HUGE lot of fiber. I plan on rounding out my personal stash as well as having a good sized stock for anyone interested in buying it. It doesn't dye well using the Greener Shades dyes that I used on the merino, so I've ordered more merino to expand the color palette of the yarns I offer, and I just love dying! I'm looking for better dyes that work on plant fibers including bamboo so that I can make this lovely, shiny, shimmery yarn into something more colourful!
