One store did not want any personal information from me on the tags. --non compete, I suppose. Other stores were fine with it. Here's the thing. Is the price you give to people personally (such as through your etsy shop) the same or lower than the store price?Splendid Little Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732090154244573323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956661572071595715.post-58008022642189450162013-03-08T07:07:54.411-06:002013-03-08T07:07:54.411-06:00good ideas.

Branding is difficult! I don't have any great answers, but I do like all your suggestions, as a way of thinking thru the process. When I make aprons for my wholesale buyer, I make the tags to reflect their name and information about the item, like content etc. But I do put on there "Made exclusively for BRM by Pruitt Creations." I also have my tag in the aprons, but it only says my business name. Maybe I will have to order some more with my web address on them.

Then put the inventory # on the back if that is allowed.<br />If you don't have room for it all, be sure to add your etsy addy...in my opinion it's the most important and gives people a way to see the rest of your work.<br />Best of luck :)Memories for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677127617656258362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956661572071595715.post-1927349319647617632013-03-07T07:02:47.829-06:002013-03-07T07:02:47.829-06:00Congratulations on getting into a shop, Erika!

One is a higher-end gift shop I actually used to work at. The owner there wanted something local-sounding for a name and didn't want my contact info on my cards, the other place is an artist's collective and wanted my contact info!Natashalhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176159532063740139noreply@blogger.com
