A couple of months ago I asked you about increasing interaction on my page & you gave me advice around engagement and asking questions to my customers building up trust. Since doing this I have noticed that my interaction talked about figures have gone up people are engaging more in my posts and we are building up trust which had resulted in a few more sales!

I started to make jewellery as a hobby in 2010 since then i have gathered various skills, which has caused customers at work, friends and family to say "oooh you should sell your creations". I fumbled around with advertising, a single fair and a couple of car boots. I found i wasn't doing very well and started to get frustrated and looked for help. I immediately found Marketing Creatively and since then everything has changed for my business and I! Using the 50 "cardinal rules" (as i call them) and every single piece of information i can suck from your blog, I am starting to expand my reach ten fold, i am finding networking much easier and much more focused, I am now blogging, which to my surprise is a big hit, and i am also planning to do tutorial videos and contact my local newspapers and such to get a bit of coverage. All in all I can't thank you enough. You have been such a great inspiration and help and I know I couldn't have done it without your support, and the support.
