Thanks Elizabeth! I love your idea of sending items to theworkplace! That is a wonderful way to get referrals. I will try to push that option more with our clients. March 04, 2011 |

I wouldn't say backup is key. You just need to make sure that the suppliers you work with are reliable and share the same values as you do in your business. October 09, 2010 |

Hi Jenn - have you thought of sending out a survey to your customers? Also test, test, test. Try different things and look over your analytics. This should help give you some insight to what is working and what isn't. I hope that helps ! September 02, 2010 |

Hi Momma Bear (cute name!!), Thank you for your comments! It is nice to know I'm not alone in the struggle to find balance when working from home. I sent you a message through your website regarding your question. Thank... April 17, 2010 |

Hi br269! I started selling online with a ProStores store, then later moved on to a Yahoo Store. I designed our first site on my own, then two years later I decided to bring in a design firm. It was expensive but I feel it was... November 24, 2008 |
