by | Apr 24, 2015 | eCommerce News, eCommerce Selling Tips, Selling on eBay, Social Media Tips

eCommerce seller’s will say to me , “Kathy I know, Mother’s Day is coming, but I don’t have any Mother’s Day gift ideas in my store inventory, help!”

And I respond, “it’s time to re-think Mother’s Day and let’s look at your inventory!”

Do you sell collectibles? Then you can offer your online and brick and mortar shoppers the gift of memories!
I recently blogged on this for my online store offering my customers gifts for their Mom’s of a beautiful ceramic dish from pre World War II and another choice from the 1980’s.
NYC Fitness Family Finds Online Blog on Mother’s Day Gifts of Memories!

‘But, you say to me, I sell auto parts or electronics! Well, don’t loving children buy their Mom a new set of hubcaps, or replace her spark plugs? Does Mom still play CDs? She might be due for a new CD player, as i tunes are not her idea of a way to listen to music.

The point is for you take some time and look at your inventory and think. 

After all, Mother’s Day is more than clothes, jewelry and perfume!( Not that those aren’t terrific gifts and I hope my son is reading this).

Mother’s Day gifts are ipods, ipads, computers, a dinner out, plates, glassware, any number of collectibles, DVDs, flowers, jewelry, power tools, auto parts, books, crafts supplies, fabric, mugs, her favorite tea, bubble bath and and just about anything you can think of because there is a huge assortment of Moms out there all with different lifestyles and tastes in what they love.

So, entrepreneur it’s time to rethink your approach to Mother’s Day for your customers! Make sure you have a Mother’s Day category in your store and a Mother’s Day Board on the social media platform Pinterest.

Fill  your eCommerce Mother’s Day category and Pinterest Board with the best of the wonderful variety of goods you sell and welcome shoppers in!

Happy Mother’s Day, for your grateful customers and you!

Take a Break ! Yes You Busy Entrepreneur You!

by | Apr 2, 2015 | eCommerce Selling Tips, Selling on eBay, Social Media Tips

Do you take a break busy entrepreneur? Yes you?! And no walking to the kitchen or your local Starbucks is not what I’m thinking about.

A quick walk to your kitchen or local Starbucks is not an appropriate break from work!

Meet a friend or relative who has nothing to do with your business for lunch, or coffee counts as a refreshing and restorative break.

Going for a nice long walk counts, preferably in pleasant surroundings that have nothing to do with your line of work.

Taking a few hours to soak in a museum, watch your child play a sport, play with a child and or go to a movie (preferably something silly) counts.

Too often an entrepreneurs and business people we work from dawn til dusk, constantly dealing with one aspect of our business or another eating at our desks and or on the run.

Go ahead, and walk away for a few hours, or at the very least 30 minutes.

Too often an entrepreneurs and business people go from dawn til dusk constantly dealing with one aspect of our business or another.

When you come back, you’ll find you’re refreshed and so much more productive. I find I accomplish so much more after enjoying a break.

This week I had a nice 45 minute lunch with my grown son. I listened to the many events in his life. It was wonderful. When I returned my desk I accomplished so much more and I had a smile on my face all day and the added benefit of a loving text from him later in the day telling me what a great Mom I am.

So you, yes you… it’s time to take a break
And then… yes you can get back to that work you enjoy!

A meal with someone you love is a wonderful break from a long entrepreneurial work day!

 

The Power Of Inspiration In Business!

by | Mar 25, 2015 | eCommerce Selling Tips, Social Media Tips

One of the most powerful tools in business is inspiration!

Yes, you heard me right, inspiration!

Did you know we all need to be inspired?

You need it,  and  did you know that your customers need to be inspired? They do.

Also if you didn’t know it, inspiration to work and engage needs to be genuine.

Artifice can be smelled at a thousand paces.

What inspires you? Is it a beautiful painting, an uplifting quote, glorious music? Share what you love with your customers and followers. Encourage them to share back with you.

What do Richard Branson and Mark Cuban both do? 

They freely share their passion and what inspires them!

Take a look at their followers on social media and how much engagement they get! It’s not just because they are celebrity entrepreneurs and multi millionaires.

It’s because they inspire.

Actually one of the reasons they are uber wealthy and very successful entrepreneurial businessmen is because they know how to inspire!

Step out..go ahead and inspire! It’s a wonderful and effective business tool. And who knows, it might bring a big smile to your face and others and that’s a good thing.
