I would like to get a feel for how I am doing in sales as compared to other artists, so I'll be brave and start.
 
I opened my store Dec. 3, 2007
I have sold 99 cards (not including the 4 I bought myself)
I have 578 cards in my store at present
 
Anyone else care to share?
 
Linda

I joined October 10th.
Sold 108 cards till date.
I have 867 cards in store and still growing.
 
Hope it helps you some Linda

Thanks for the reply, Artists.  I am firmly convinced that having as many quality cards makes a huge difference.  One card might get someone into you store because they like the style, etc., and then they can start buying.  This is a HUGE REASON why I want to see an efficient way of catgorising stores.  If someone were to come into my store now they would see a mess, and moving one card at a time is tedious and a waste of my time.......

Thanks Inge and all who respond

Hi Linda, Thanks for asking the question. And thanks to those who have answered so far.
 
I have had no sales yet. I joined on January 6, 2008 and have 31 cards so far, many of which are not profiled and therefore not part of the "reminder" websites.
 
Previously I had been printing cards for $1 each on Shutterfly, and selling them to friends and at a cafe. I have always gotten a great response.
 
Selling on line is very different. Getting traffic to one's website is key. Once I have my store inventory built up, and we are able to organize our stores in a more usable fashion, and we are able to put a caption and credit on the back, I plan to actively market my site. Hopefully that will bring in sales.
 
good luck to all,
Dustin

Thanks for posting this Linda, this has been quite interesting for me as I realise that I hadn't really calculated all of it. I sold my first card in March 29th 2007, soon after I started the store. I have sold 323 cards so far, and have 257 cards in my inventory, apparently!
 
Cheers,

Hi Linda, thank you!
 
To be honest though, I don't think my designs are any better or worse than anyone else's, especially when I see so much talent around! And I think my sales are pretty good but not extraordinary, AND you're doing very well for having opened your store so recently -- you have some really cool designs up there.
 
But I do work hard on marketing  (as subtly as possible though, as I hate "in your face" marketing) via my blogs, online art communities, squidoo and facebook. I do think it helps tons and then, as you say, once someone has entered your store and likes what they see, they are likely to return when they need a card for a certain occasion ... at least, that's what I think/hope happens
 
Cheers, Mariana

Hi Linda,
I joined on Jan 2nd, have 105 cards in my gallary, have had 1051 store visits and 974 clicks with only 13 sales.  But those are 13 sales that I would not have made without GCU and every little bit helps.  I don't mind taking baby steps so long as I get to take the journey.
Thanks for asking this question.  I too had been wondering about others.  And we can now go take a peek at their sites and see what is working and what isn't.  Then too it is nice to hear what some do in the way of advertising to help our cause.  If we all work at it, it can only help us all!
Thanks again--everyone.
