My first ever shop is now closed. Yay, I’m so glad that it was successful! It was only a little bit stressful because I didn't know what I was doing at first. But, it was mostly fun and I’m happy that I was able to see what it was like to have a shop for once. Having a shop definitely took up more time than I expected because I had to mail people to see if I can borrow their designs because I am not a designer myself. It also took awhile to figure out who I was going to gift what design too.
I would like to thank some people for letting me use their designs:
I really do appreciate you all helping me. All of you really did help my shop to be successful because you all are such fast gifters. So, everyone on my gift list got their designs! My shop probably would not have gone as well if you all were not there to help, so I really am thankful! If any of you ever need help with gifting or want someone to plus a design then just ask me and I would be happy to assist!
I want to thank diva1 for helping me so much. You really did a lot for me and I would have just been so lost if you were not there to help. Like I didn't even know how to upload designs in my shop before I posted them and you gave me helpful instructions. Also, all the advice you gave me about shops and gifting really helped a lot. I also appreciate you getting all the fast gifters for me because I had no clue who was good at gifting. Thanks again for gifting me and wwemrpeeps the eyes that I posted for 400 ts as well. That was really sweet of you! I don’t think my shop would have gone so well if you were not here to help, so I just really appreciate your help. If you ever need help with anything then just let me know!
I also want to thank clueliz and seana86 for giving me advice about gifting and shops in general. You all really helped me a lot too because I really knew nothing about shops. So thank you both for telling me your experience with gifting and giving me advice so that I didn't make any mistakes! I probably would have done something wrong if you all didn't help. If you all ever need help with anything then let me know!
I’m excited that my first shop went as planned! Now I really want to get another shop because I realized that there were some designs I forgot that I wanted. Lol. I hope that I can get another one in a few months. Maybe the shops algo will love me again and give me one the first time I bid! I can always hope lol. Sorry that I didn't post more designs at cheap prices. I know a lot of people mailed me and asked if I can post for 250 ts or less for the public. I just didn't want to do that because then I would not have been able to afford all of the designs I was posting. But I might consider competing for a few weeks next time and then dropping out. I imagine it’s pretty stressful to compete in shops though and probably takes up a lot of time. So I will see what I do if I ever get another shop.
I was glad I was able to gift you Megan and you did a wonderful job with your first shop! Having a shop can be so much fun. I think people are surprised at how time consuming having one is. They are a lot of work! Thank you for gifting me that beautiful design too! ♥♥
awwww Megan i am so happy it was a success, and you are so welcome, i wish i had all that advice when i opened my 1st one, mine was a epic fail LOL, i knew you would get the "shop addiction" we all do lol, and i cant wait for you to get another, you did amazing ;)
