iCANDY - 48th Edition

I thought I'd make this week's iCANDY part of InkSpot Workshop's launch this week. Usually I don't include myself in this weekly roundup, but what the heck? especially since the website really turned out to be a labor of love these past 6 months, just ask my family.

I designed a bunch of new goodies prior to the site going live and here are just a few of my favorites. Hope you enjoy!

InkSpot Workshop Turns 1

I Can hardly believe InkSpot Workshop opened exactly 1 year ago today! Can you believe I had never even heard of Etsy before this? Now here I sit...577 sales later, 100% positive feedback, not 1 but 2 Etsy Shops and a website that's about to launch, Whew! Needless to say this has been not only the fastest, but one of the most rewarding years of my life.

Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm during my first year of business. As a token of my appreciation, I'd like to offer up a little special - - no this isn't an April Fool's prank!

Easy as PIE

OK, I have a great lead for all of you who send a lot of envelopes and packages through the mail and are tired of standing in line at the US Post Office! Or are tired of paying such high prices for postage. I'd like to introduce you to my new assistant.... ENDICIA! Now I can print all shipping labels on packages both over and under 1 pound, first class postage, priority, even International shipping. The best part is that I never have to leave my house! It's all done from my desktop on my computer. I even get to add my logo to the label so I look extra specially professional. Plus I have an electronic database of where I have shipped everything.

All of this for just $15.95 per month, which is nothing compared to how much time I was wasting in post office lines. I spend a minimum of $150.00 each month on postage so this has been an excellent business decision for InkSpot Workshop. I first learned about Endicia from another blogger and Etsy seller and became completely hooked after my free 30 day trial. How would you like your own FREE 30 day trial? Simply go to http://www.endicia.com/ and please enter 678363 in the promotion code.

Happy Shipping!

Inkspot Workshop On The MAP

I thought it would be fun to have some posters of the US, Canada and Europe in my office with bright red push pins every place I have sent an order. So I found 2 such perfect posters online as well as some push pins and went stabbing away!

Several minutes and sore thumbs later, the FULL picture was in place. I discovered that Inkspot Workshop is in 29 states, plus Canada, Norway, Thailand, England, Australia and Belgium. Thank you everyone!

My goal is to be in all 50 US states, so I've come up with a very special offer. Be the first to order from the following list of states and receive FREE SHIPPING on your order over $20.00.
