Metal Core Wood Bangles - Video Series

[Steelart99]

Since I asked (you tweeked my interest), I've been researching and found the source you pointed out who has a nice variety of graduated backgrounds.

B&H photo actually has the same/similar item for a bit cheaper: (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=graduated+background&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma).

I also found http://store.tabletopstudio-store.com/clacri.html who has backgrounds made to fit their Photo cubes but will also fit the Cowboy Studio cubes. I have the 24" Cowboy Studio Cube:

A whole 'nother aspect of this hobby.

Thanks for the videos. An awesome way to share your passion ... and oh by the way, sell some bangle kits.

I just finished uploading the first half of "How to Sell Metal Core Wood Bangles" onto YouTube. I am hoping to have the second half edited and on YouTube by Sunday evening. Thanks for watching

That's a very informative video Eric. I had a few ideas pop into my silly head while watching that I'd like to bounce off of you. I'll PM you to see if they're feasible. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video Eric. So an issue I found with pricing my pens at for sale is. What do you use for pieces that are all or mostly wood. don't the price stickers distract on something like a pen? or ruin the finish? . I tried those tie on price tags but they're awful clunks. I want to order the barbells from exoticblanks but they always seem to be out of stock. What do you use?

Thanks! I usually print out a little sign, or put a label on the table where the items are located. I try to keep my pricing the same for a group of items, so for my pens, the sign would say something like "All Pens $40".

Yeah I've done that in some of the shops I sell through. But I always have customers that want to know exactly what wood I use. And when there's 48+ different wood pens to choose from it's tough to keep them straight.

I saw one photo some where (maybe Etsy) that had a printed card for the bulk of what the pen was and a blank line to write the wood type on the card.

I think a card with each item would be a nice touch, but everything takes time. I am usually running out of time trying to build a little inventory and end up pricing the night before my show! :dash2:

Something like this is what I was thinking. I know it's easy to tell people at the booth while presenting your product. But I've had women ask me to write it on the back of a business card for fear of them not remembering.

(disclaimer) this is not my work I snagged the photo from Etsy
