I recently got a large clothing sale by one customer in my ebay store!
How?
My ebay store categories includes clothing sizes!
By sorting the clothes you sell by SIZE you are inviting browsing and shopping for your customers!
Your customers spending more time in your ebay store (or website) browsing and shopping can potentially greatly increase the order size of each sale!
Most importantly using clothes sizes in your ebay store categories(or website) shows your shoppers you care about your them!
It shows your customers you value their time and want to make their shopping experience with you a pleasant experience and that you care enough about them to set up your site in a manner that’s easy for them to navigate!
With the busy times we live in who isn’t looking to save time?!
Want larger order sizes for your clothing items?
Take the time to include sizes in your store categories.
Welcome happy and satisfied shoppers!
You can get bigger orders from your ebay store customers! Want to know how?

Pinterest is an effective social marketing and branding tool for any size business( small, medium and large) on Social Media whether your a brick and mortar store, internet or both.
Let’s say you have a Father’s Day Board on Pinterest.
What do you do once the Holiday is over? Do you leave the Board up or delete it?
Rather than lose the followers to that board you can rename the board to something appropriate. So if it’s been let’s say a Mother’s Day Board you could relabel it “What to get that woman in your life” or “Perfect gifts for Her”. You get the idea?
You don’t want to relabel something that has nothing to do with what you were pinning as people followed that board for that content.
One thing to keep in mind anytime you change the name of a Pinterest Board you are changing the URL. If you have put the board somewhere else in the social media world or if you have embedded it as a widget on a page renaming the Pinterest Board will kill the link. In that case you’d want to not change the name.
So in 5 seconds(or less) you can rename your board and keep your followers. It’s a win win solution.
Next year when that Holiday rolls around just relabel your board again and you’re good to go.
Time to get busy pinning!
The Holiday is over what do I do with my Holiday Pinterest Board?

I was in a favorite local restaurant with my husband this past week. I watched the owner move about greeting people.
He stopped by numerous tables checking on how they liked their food and making pleasant conversation.
He did not sell anything.
He smile, he chatted and brought water to one table rather than calling a bus boy.
He was actively engaged and caring with each individual. It was genuine.
This small restaurant in the brutally competitive marketplace that New York City is has been in business for over 35 years.
Want to guess why?
Yes they have a good location, food and service but I’ve seen dozens of similar restaurants come and go over the years.
This restaurant succeeds where have many have failed because of one very important word – care. This restaurant’s center is care for it’s customers. It starts with the owner.
Care does matters. Care shows in how you list your products, ship and all communications with your shoppers.
Want repeat customers? Care.
Showing care is as simple as a glass of water in a restaurant.
