Discussion ideas:
- Compare the various co-op online stores: etsy vs ebay vs other sites
- Run your own domain/OS Commerce site?
- Product shots... DIY or hire a pro?
- Extra income or main source of income?
- full time or part time?
- high-ticket items, low-ticket items, or mixture?
- custom products or defined line?
- selling to the converted: are most of your customers other crafters?
- who are your customers... do you keep track of them? how? what do you do with the info?
- branding, logo, tagline, other marketing issues
Things we can do here:
- case studies, either one of us, or just someone out there, such as starkers.com
- challenges, such as set a goal to increase sales this month, or mark up our best-selling product and see what happens or increase our bookkeeping skills in 6 weeks
- mission statements... challenge ourselves to refine our business mission statements
- introduction post: I think I am going to do one of those "interview style" threads about each of you. I have seen this done well on other private tribes, so when I get the chance I will be booking a time with you to post an online interview!
