Harvest season is here

And with it, Halloween!

I'm a sucker for anything that is kind of festive, so I saw these ribbons and had to get them:

It makes my packaging look sooo adorable!

When you purchase from my Etsy shop (or Artfire), your packaging will look like this or something similar, always ready for gift giving to others or to yourself! I'm working on new packaging so some people will get them sporadically. I like testing them out with my customers directly!

New Facebook user name

Two days and I'm already suitable for a Facebook user name! Thanks for the support! Now I can redirect all traffic to:

www.facebook.com/DropOfSunshine

No more pages and slashes in between. Plain and simple. I love it!

P.S. I need more fans for the official www.facebook.com/dropofsunshine web address so for now just click here.

Google Checkout

It's done! I have Google Checkout at the Etsy Store. And on ArtFire too! I just thought it would be good to have a backup to PayPal and what is better than a product supported by Google? Not many, if I may say so myself.

If you would rather pay with Google Checkout on my Etsy Store, please select "Other" as your method of payment and I will send an invoice from my Drop of Sunshine gmail address (dropofsunshinedesign@gmail.com).

If you need it for a purchase on ArtFire, you can choose Google Checkout as your method of payment immediately, apparently there is no need to wait for an emailed invoice.

Google Checkout works as PayPal does with any major credit card, so if you prefer, you can also use this for payment with credit cards. With both - Google Checkout and PayPal - you are not required to sign up.

Just thought I'd keep you all in the loop! You never know when PayPal won't work and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Have a great weekend!!!

Need to shop?

I was searching through ArtFire to see what new things they had to offer and I found out that the Rapid Cart is available for Basic members! Yay! So now I have added it to the right side of the blog, you do not need to sign up for ArtFire to shop and it will take you 28 seconds (according to them, I have yet to test) to purchase an item through their rapid cart. Now I have another reason to maintain this store stocked. Some more items coming soon!

Google Analytics

I don't know if you guys are on Twitter, if you are add me :) www.twitter.com/dropofsunshine
And if you're not, you probably missed out on some important info Etsy has for us there!

We are now approved for Google Analytics, which means we can see how many people go to your Etsy shop, where from, the percentage difference in between sites (if you have more than one, Google Analytics also works on ArtFire and Blogger). The link to the post by Etsy Admin is here and the site for Google Analytics is here.

Make the best out of this feature, I certainly am trying!

P.S. I found this post by TopShelfTotes on Google Analytics and analizing statistics on your site. You can view it here.

ArtFire

Well, I've been hearing all over different blogs how ArtFire is. I guess you never know what's going to make it big, so I registered today and plan to list some more things there shortly. Well, why don't YOU register on ArtFire.com and start selling as well? They claim to have no fees so there is nothing to lose!
