Referral Program Results

Hi everyone! I just thought I'd give you an update on how the referral program went.

I asked fans to refer 10 or more of their friends to Bisou Bisou Beads and have their friend comment saying who sent them. I posed the link in several different places around Facebook and within 48 hours, I had almost 300 NEW FANS! Of course, a few of them unliked me later because the number did go down :( but about 5 of my new fans made purchases so that evens it all out! There were 15 referral program participants and 12 of them won a pendant of their choice. One AMAZING fan referred over 30 friends. :D

It was a great success and I'm so thrilled to have so many new fans at Bisou Bisou Beads! Right now, I have 583 fabulous fans and I'm planning on hosting a HUGE giveaway when I reach 1000. I haven't worked out all of the details yet but there will be another referral program with more prizes soon!

Facebook Referral Program

Want to win a Scrabble pendant? All you need to do is visit my Facebook fan page, "like" it if you aren't already a fan, and refer 10 new fans to the page. To refer a fan, share the link with them and ask them to "like" the page; after they like it, have them comment saying that you referred them. Once there are 10 comments with your name, you win a pendant!

I've already had 5 lucky winners from referring friends and you could be next! Good luck and get sharing!! (The direct link to my fan page is www.facebook.com/bisoubisoubeads)

Urban Dictionary: "Claire"

A friend pointed out in a Facebook note what "Claire" means according to Urban Dictionary. You'd have to know me to know how exact this description is but I wanted to share anyways.

"one who is unique, short, funny, and really clumsy. a unique independent person who knows how to have a great time, extremely funny and outgoing. she has lots of friends and is always there for them."

I pride myself on being unique, I'm 5'3, I'm not sure about funny...., I'm extremely clumsy (aka Grace when a kid), etc. Crazy accurate.

That said, check out my new Bella Bracelet photos on Etsy. They're awesome.

Marketing Strategies for Selling on Etsy

I've been working on my Etsy marketing skills today and I'm having fun with it! I'm already majoring in business and I'm considering concentracting on marketing. I'm thinking that I'm PERFECT for it!

I found a great seller on Etsy who sells marketing tutorials and I purchased one of her listings. I'm not telling who it is yet, though! She's considering hosting a giveaway here soon so you'll get to see then! ;)

I've been finding all sorts of new people on Twitter, IndiePublic, Facebook and every other site that I can think of. Follow me and I'll follow you!

Have a great evening and good luck marketing your works! ♥
