I was able to use an online coupon that specified “ONE TIME USE” and “EXPIRES IN TWO WEEKS” (I got it 3 months ago) TWICE because you never know and you might as well TRY. So much of successfully running a good small business boils down to always asking for a discount and always looking for coupons. A lot of it is also memorizing when suppliers run sales.
People always tell me I should charge more for stuff but I’d rather sell more and buy in bulk where possible so i can make things cheaper and outta better and better materials all the time. I just got a lot of sterling silver and stainless steel stuff ordered. I put a lot of love and passion into my jewelry making because I love this show so much and I’d rather people be able to own it, rather than just want it.
