I also have a little fabric store on Etsy, but we are growing fast! My personal business goal for this year is to get a handle on advertising costs and effectiveness, and also develop and launch a boutique web-store so we can expand away from Etsy. I LOVE Etsy but I think my shop is going to outgrow it very quickly. I want to integrate our shop and blog completely and expand my offering of sewing classes from my home. Wow, that's more than one goal! If anyone needs some help setting up a boutique shop, please let me know, I think i could help!

Now that I'm slowly getting the hang of my 4 month old..(ah..who am I kidding..)..I'd love to dedicate more time to expanding my etsy shop. My mother and I make custom onsies, booties and blankets. I also plan getting my name out there and with time, hopefully be able to one day leave my corporate job. Here's to a successful 2010!! Cheers!

My strategy for 2010 is, like Melissa's, to raise brand awareness. I'm also aiming to increase the dialogue on my blog and offer more resources for DIY projects, interesting finds, etc. Thanks, Sally!

Thanks Sally for the shoot out for Two Little Tots. A few other things that I want to focus on once the holiday rush is over:

-brand...a new shop makeover, new business cards, tags, the whole works....i can't wait.
-getting my name out more...really focusing on advertisements.
-new items and what is not working, which at this point not sure...just some slower sellers.
-buying some my fabric whole sale
-getting a better packaging/shipping process down.

I would love to hear your tips on any of these. I love your blog.
Thanks again Sally!

Boy, we must be twins! Your business planning sounds a little like mine. My focus in 2010 is to get the word out more about my new online fabric shop. I have several advertisements in the works. Hopefully, they will pan out.
