Should I open a second shop or just put a section in my present shop?

I'm working on a new idea that isn't knitting or crochet and wonder if I should open a new shop. I was thinking of putting it in my current shop to see if there is any interest but wanted some input…Continue

About me
I am the mother of 2 boys one here and one on the other side. Been married to my soulmate for 37 years, we've been together for almost 40 years. I'm an eclectic pagan following a mainly druid path but enjoy learning any kind of earth religion. The happiest times for me are when I'm outside in the sun or have either knitting or crochet in my hands, I also hand quilt and do other needlework.
I started an etsy shop in Jan. 2011 and have had 3 sales. I found Zibbet when I was looking for a different place to sell my crafts and after spending a few hours searching around the site and reading some of the post here in the community immediately signed up.
We live in a small town in western NH with our little dog, Moogli, who really rules the house. I learned to knit and crochet from my grandmother, who is still around at 102, and have been doing both for more years than I can remember.
I'm hoping that along with selling my crafts that I'll make some online friends along the way.

Also, I see very few shops on Zibbit with sales! I think you should branch out to some of the other sites and thus become better-known! Etsy has been my…"

When you are talking about keeping the shop open or closing it down...do you have the shop items elsewhere on the net where the items are getting more sales?

Clarify (Claranne ) replied to Nancy Richmond's discussion Getting really discouraged"Nancy-
I think you hit on the main issue--limited selection for shoppers. With all the shops selling online shoppers feel they do not need to settle for excellent, they expect to find something perfect. You need to pique the interest of…"

Carrie Connors said… - So, so sorry I didnt' see this sooner!! I grew up in Franklin, NH (between Concord and Plymouth going up I-93) then I moved to the seacoast area and lived in Hampton, Portsmouth, Stratham, then Exeter. I miss some aspects bout NH (they drive better than here in MA!) and it's easier to find a quiet area there than here, but I do enjoy living where I do now.
