What Every Small Biz Should Know About Net 30 Terms

This is a sentence you’ve heard or will hear if you are in the wholesale business. But, what does it actually mean? The phrase gets casually thrown around as if everyone has a clear understanding of what it means.



First, let’s chat about Net 30 (Trade Credit) in general terms. It means you take… Continue

This is where small businesses get screwed up. Most Small Biz owners who sell on Etsy or their own domain think you take the cost of the product, double it and that’s what it sells for. They even may call that their “Retail”… Continue

Hi Jennifer, Ive been reading some of your responses to a few discussion groups and have found them all to be very informative. I look forward to reading your future posts. Love and blessings to you.

Okay, that's great! You had me worried there for a minute! Much continued success to you. Do you do any private labeling? If so, I would be interested. Hey, where'd you find those jewels? Are they available in diamond/pyramid shapes? Let me know when you can please. I would love to use 'em on my special anniversary edition collection I've been working on. Also, do you know anyone that specializes in gift collections?

Why would you change it. I LOVE IT! The packaging is what sets you apart from the rest. I think it's fabulous & I love the theme behind it. I think you are very creative & should stay they way you are. I am sure there are TONS of people in the industry that would love to copy your brand. I would be one for SURE!!!! Although, we would never run into each other...because my niche is nowhere near you or the rest of the companies. I have a specialty handmade product/market, that requires a referral in order to purchase. Again, I LOVE what you've done/are doing...DON'T CHANGE A THING!

Jennifer,

NO worries, I have my own "issues" with technology.

I am trying to evolve my current logo into something more sophistcated and updated. For the most part, I have the design in my head, but, not the artistic talent to materialize it.

I do understand that you are busy and I would be most grateful for any help you could give me.

Thanks,

Robin

Thanks for the supportive comments Jennifer! This is really exciting and I hope that eventually my experience will help other indies in doing their own PR. Thanks again.

Hi Jennifer,

I know your show is this week. Wanted to check in to let you know I'm thinking of you. I know you'll have a fantastic showing of your wonderful stuff. I'm excited to get my almond biscotti treats when they arrive.
