When we started our Etsy shop, we were so overwhelmed by all that there was to do, that we didn't commit nearly enough time to establishing our brand or finding our niche. Now, after several evolutionary changes, we can say that we are at least on our way to doing both. Sure, we've cycled through a variety of products, logos, and themes and have yet to find the "right" fit. But, we've also taken a lot from each of these changes. We've learned what we like to do and what we don't like to do. We've learned a little bit about what sells and a lot about what doesn't.
We are still trying to figure out how to run a successful Etsy business, but we are certain we will eventually get the hang of it. That being said, we don't feel that businesses should wait until they are big and successful to do good things. This is why we have decided to donate 10% of every sale to charity. In short, we want to make art, and we want to save lives.
We will begin making donations for every item purchased on or after September 1st. Each month, we will select a different charity to donate to. September's charity is Feeding America, an organization working to raise awareness about and eradicate hunger in America.
Feel free to leave us suggestions of charities to donate to in the future. We will probably set up some type of voting in the near future so that our customers and followers can help choose the charities. Stay tuned for more!
Peace. Love. Leave Your Mark.
