A big thanks to CNN.com for highlighting the handmade revolution!

If anyone at Etsy reads this, I am among thousands of your members who would very much prefer to pay a little more to list if you would do some advertising!! I do what I can and I am committed to always doing so, but there are cost effective methods that you could use to give us the collective power to reach millions of people for pennies each!!! PLEASE, PLEASe, PLEAse, PLEase, PLease, Please, please!!!!!!

How do you make them take/keep your business card?

That's easy... make it a handy calendar too! Check out this link

I created 250 matte premium full color business cards with a black and white calendar on the back for $5.24!!!! (plus processing/shipping)

You'll get regular emails with all kinds of great 'free' marketing materials that allow you to be creative with your advertising on a shoestring budget. Sure, you pay a processing fee and shipping charge but it's still a great variety for less than your local print shop! I have ordered a dozen times ~ always the cheapest 21 day processing ~ and have never waited more than 10 days for delivery!!! (...or paid more than $25 processing/shipping for up to 10 "free" types of marketing materials!!!!!!!!!!) *update: I did find an old order with $25.70 in processing/shipping charges... so I guess that should read: ...or paid more than $26!) ☺

Bypass all the partner marketing offers... some folks claim to have had strange
billing on their credit cards after clicking on the partner offers.
Of course, they agreed to automatically enroll by signing up for the partner offer,
but they conveniently forget that when they want to trash a
great business resource!

Business best,
