announcement: shopgingiber.com and 20% discount
So I have a little announcement to make: my line of illustrations and paper goods, Gingiber has moved to it’s very own storefront!
I have loved selling through Etsy, and will continue to keep my Etsy store open until products expire, but I recently realized that it was time to make a change. I was inspired to make the move after reading a great blog post written by Maggie over at GussySews about the benefits of Big Cartel vs. Etsy (read the full blog post here). Her story was compelling, and after doing much research on my own (checking my Google Analytics referring sites, Monthly Etsy Fees, the benefits of having my own URL, etc.) I decided to dive in!
To Celebrate the Grand Opening of shopgingiber.com I am offering all readers a 20% discount when you enter discount code “GrandOpening” at checkout!
So please take a moment to click over to my new store, Shop Gingiber, and browse the merchandise! Along with the new store comes cleaner branding (I ADORE my new font), brighter product images (still finishing up shooting some product pictures), and a fresh start for me and my business!
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has shopped at my etsy shop the past year and a half. You have given me the courage to expand my brand and to go after the dream of running Gingiber full time. I’m well on my way thanks to you, friends!
Stacie
Oh congrats! So many exciting things have been happening for you! I’m going to pop over right now and check it out…and maybe I’ll help take a thing or two out of the etsy store. You know, just to help you clean it out of course. 🙂
Thanks so much! And please do clear out some inventory in the old etsy shop!
That’s so great for you! I wish I would have know about this, though, I would have purchased much more than one print on Etsy the other day.
stacie, i L-O-V-E it!!! it looks fantastic! i love how clean & bright it is. and that font is perfection. you’re the first person to get me thinking at all about making a switch to big cartel. hmmm…
Ana! Thanks so much for the support and the recent purchase!
Megan! Thanks so much! Your opinion means a lot! Glad that you like the font. If you have any questions, just give me a shout and I will let you know about Big Cartel!
