busy

things have really picked up during the last week. today i matted and packaged about 30 small prints for three orders. two orders going to - europe. i am surprised that the small 5 x 7's are selling as well as they are. what surprises me is that i personally like this small size, and usually if i like it - then it doesn't sell. this is the exception.

i've actually got a nice little template setup in photoshop so that i can print four 5 x 7's at a time. pretty neat.

the only thing that i've really got to keep an eye on is cat hair getting on the paper while it's still wet. at that point it's just about impossible to get the hair off the print without leaving a mark.

buddy, oh buddy - how'd you like to be a skinhead for a while?

roy - sales picked up substantially after i raised the prices.

also, i never did decrease the number of prints; in fact i've been increasing the number.

i don't think the "too much choice" holds water when it comes to prints. i think the reverse is true.

maybe with other sorts of merchandise the "too much choice" holds water; but i think that one of the strengths of the web compared to a physical store is that you can offer a lot of choice.

HOWEVER: at some point they should be categorized: small medium and large (just kidding); but some sort of smaller categories.

Every couple of months we have to give our cat a haircut. Otherwise cat hair are all over the place. The cat really dislikes the noise of the cutter, but there is no other way around it, so I have to hold her tight. Still beats going to the grooming place.
