Yesterday I was getting my nails done. An old friend , who was just getting the finishing touches done on hers, was ahead of me. Her first comment to me was "I didn't know you made jewelry." I have been doing this for three years now mind you! I have vinyl signs on my car, have had open houses, and have done craft shows. I give out business cards and have pieces in a shop in town. My question is what else am I missing or do I need to step it up a notch?
People who have shops on Etsy know who we are by going into forums, chat rooms, and joining teams, etc. I don't know all the ins and outs of this website but when I say I'm on Etsy people ask what it is. Why do we not have a better following since we are all handmade? Why doesn't Etsy have a decal that we can put on a car or shop window that promotes them--or do they? I just think we all have a better chance if people could really get into Etsy because it is such a great variety store. Anyone have any other ideas?

We have to promote Etsy. They do a fair amount of promoting in US but none in UK or Australia or the East!
