Pinterest- How to engage?


I have been pinning like crazy! P interest is wonderful, and I want to gain followers of my style "organically" but I am still not sure if I am doing it the best way.  I am also not quite ready to put up much of my own original content; Instead creating fairly specific boards that I post to regularly. But not too much as to not just blow up people feeds. One of my goals this month is to be to work on proper engagement. I think the first step is who do I want to engage? Who is my audience? I feel that it is me, I am my audience. Writing up a profile of a few “ideal” customers is a good place to start. I will post them soon!

P.S. I am trying to blog about my business every day! It gives me accountability and inspiration.  I also have a passion for photography, so I am going to post a picture I took along with every post. Some pictures might "match" better than others, but all will be taken by me.

New Year- New Store!



I have been going back and forth about the best way to sell all the vintage treasures I find hunting. After selling on Ebay and Etsy on and off I have decided to open a "store" within an Antique Mall. I live near a few Co-Op type shops where you carve out your little piece among many other little stalls under one roof. There is a particular shop I have my eye on, right now I am waiting to hear back if they still have a vacancy. Establishing up a retail store in January might not be the best idea either, but being a total newbie I thought that I could get my merchandising and "look" down. I am going to blog about this endeavor here! Details, Business Plan and Marketing Campaign soon!
