I will say that I think that you have to do what you believe in and then hope it sells, within reason. I think there is no use making something, on a mass production scale that you don&#39;t love that you know will sell - what is the use. The best idea I can come up with is doing a few different things to appeal to more people and if you sell more than expected don&#39;t be afraid to make the last one a sample and not sell it and see if people are happy to take orders for it. If there is a line that isn&#39;t selling then don&#39;t be afraid to just not do it, if after a couple of tried it is still not working.<br />Like I said to you before, I think that doing a limited number of markets makes it so easy to have hit and miss days and you really can&#39;t read too much into it as hard as it is not too (trust me when I say I know). <br />Not that I really have any idea what I am doing either. It is late, best I stop wafflingCindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521174979832937974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636103160548680175.post-56348720546555347372009-07-09T08:42:00.820+10:002009-07-09T08:42:00.820+10:00Beautiful prints. What a fantastic person to be so close to. I found the whole market research thing very difficult when I did Biz babes, I had no idea of where to start. Sounds like you have it all under control.craftschmafthttp://craftschmaft.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636103160548680175.post-7362239877485338162009-07-09T01:48:50.513+10:002009-07-09T01:48:50.513+10:00Her prints are so sweet!

Then I may have one I don&#39;t like as much and I sell dozens. Sometimes I get it right but not always.<br /><br />Good luck and thank you for sharing the great stuff you are learning.<br /><br />xRachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08573991998853561283noreply@blogger.com
