It's 5/3/18, aka this Thursday!!

<b>We've been BUSY!! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During 2017 - to the present, we hired 2 more part time people, so we are now a 4 person operation. Our standalone website: <a href="http://riskybeads.com/">riskybeads.com</a> is getting a complete redesign, too! We've added several new fonts and symbols. And, Etsy also (finally) launched a tool to easily launch sales and promotions, so we've been busy having great deals, too! Here's our current sale thru 5/3, our Mother's Day order deadline:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We've also <b>launched a new product line:</b> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/riskybeads?ref=hdr_shop_menu&section_id=23129843">Pocket Rocks & Pocket Coins</a> which I am sooooo happy about. Lots of our customers wanted a way to treasure a special day, thought, or person without having to actually wear jewelry and/or have their sentiment be public. These rocks & coins are the perfect answer. Keep them in your pocket, your purse, by your bedside, or anywhere that you need that little reminder. Here's our best selling pocket rock so far:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Valentine's Day is a month away (already!!) and this year it falls on Tuesday, 2/14/17. Argh! Now in addition to finding the perfect gift, you have to decide if you want to celebrate the weekend before, the weekend after, or on the actual day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img0.etsystatic.com/044/0/5187337/il_fullxfull.548369694_11qw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://img0.etsystatic.com/044/0/5187337/il_fullxfull.548369694_11qw.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>THE WEEKEND BEFORE (2/11-2/12)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This might be the best option for those taking a whole weekend to bask in their love, but it means booking a wee bit earlier and being on top of your game. Plus, when the actual day comes, you don't want your sweetie to feel like it's already passed. Maybe that means extra flowers??</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>THE WEEKEND AFTER (2/18-2/19)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This would probably be my first choice because I hate crowds, and it would give me a little more time to plan. I mean, come on, how can we already be talking about Valentine's Day, right? The downside is what do you do on the actual day? Maybe a little teaser gift to let him or her know that something special is coming?</div>

<b>THE DAY OF (Tuesday, 2/14/17)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When Valentine's Day falls on a weekday, there are all kinds of things to consider. Does your <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/471447165/personalized-otter-keychain-i-found-my">significant otter</a> like having a nice dinner during the week or is he/she too busy too relax? Do you like being at a romantic restaurant when it's packed? Can you or do you want to go easy on the wine since you might have to work the next day? Can you find a baby sitter?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

One theme sticks out above all others - the power phrase. 2015 has been a year of coming out and coming to terms worldwide. The concept of a transgender person became a household conversation (yay!), terrorist attacks make it clear that there are no real boundaries anymore, and the idea of what a police force should be is always being discussed. For those reasons, and I'm sure many, many others, many people have stood up and stayed strong, making it clear where they stand on big issues and personal ones. Power phrase bracelets (and other jewelry) have become a sign of these trying times. Here are a few of our best sellers. Keep in mind that we can customize every once of these with your own wording. Each listing will give you the specs for each piece.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here at Risky Beads, we are gearing up for Christmas, so it's time for my annual PSA about Christmas shopping. I know what you're thinking...Christmas? Halloween isn't even here yet. It's not even cold out (or super cold, depending on your locale), but I always feel obligated to remind folks that the next two months will FLY BY like Santa's Reindeer when they leave the very last house on Christmas night! But here's the thing, those touching, personalized and handmade gifts you want to give this Christmas take time to make. And every year since 2011, I have had to stop Christmas orders around Dec. 9th or 10th because our queue gets fuller than your tummy on Thanksgiving. I hate that; I never <i>want</i> to do it, but I am always left with no choice because we need time to hand stamp each and every order and need to give the USPS time to deliver.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year, our queue looked like this: YIKES!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWfUjTaqLXDlwfy5nAXnLKFuyWJl2AjAwk8REpSYgFt1jvayLdg_ejz8Hr1TlssffG8vuRak-3YPSoy1sbiN5exQBqTkt-Yj05MIaqom6-_sFG7NSViwOt3vHiEyQm1D4thBXBJnaRykQ3/s1600/Christmas+Queue.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWfUjTaqLXDlwfy5nAXnLKFuyWJl2AjAwk8REpSYgFt1jvayLdg_ejz8Hr1TlssffG8vuRak-3YPSoy1sbiN5exQBqTkt-Yj05MIaqom6-_sFG7NSViwOt3vHiEyQm1D4thBXBJnaRykQ3/s320/Christmas+Queue.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our outgoing mail looked like this...everyday!!! Our mail lady was not overly amped about this, I can assure you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfLdv-jvErRqjvykcnBro_0QMfIgRmJB4UwwUNfYvGMzEPeb3roFdIwAIgT641C2wGqUjfSuLKZe1PpJMQ8qCTsa-JDrSxIqaSy8_VPjEjjK2heAnmdXLZKFmBTiFNnBu6ExtfMB2s6eh/s1600/Mail+Bag.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfLdv-jvErRqjvykcnBro_0QMfIgRmJB4UwwUNfYvGMzEPeb3roFdIwAIgT641C2wGqUjfSuLKZe1PpJMQ8qCTsa-JDrSxIqaSy8_VPjEjjK2heAnmdXLZKFmBTiFNnBu6ExtfMB2s6eh/s320/Mail+Bag.PNG" width="309" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And although I can't even admit to taking my own advice in this area, I beseech those of you who are prepared and responsible on a daily basis and like to support handmade, to start your holiday shopping now. I love talking to customers about their ideas before I've plucked all my eyelashes out from staring at a computer screen too long or have a hump in my back from excessive hammering. Let them know you care and save a little money, too. Our promotions usually end after Halloween AND our production time practically doubles. I know it's the same for many, many handmade sellers as well. So, I wish you a bright and cheery holiday season now because I will be too cranky by the time actually Christmas actually arrives. :)</div>

<br />
As someone who's been selling handmade, hand stamped jewelry for several years (in fact, we just passed 21,000 sales on Etsy!), I am always looking for new sites on which to sell my products. When I started hand stamping a few years ago, I immediately branched out into 3 other venues (ArtFire, Zibbet, and 1000Markets), and while I had some success on those sites, they either ultimately failed as venues (1000Markets was sold to Bonanza) or turned out to be too much work for not enough profit (ArtFire, Zibbet). As a result, I began to pull all my resources back in and focus just on Etsy and decided that I would be *very* picky about the next routes I took to expand.<br />
<br />
And I was.<br />

Anyone who either buys or sells handmade knows that the online marketplace is an ever-changing landscape where new technologies such as smart phones and tablets and photograph apps like Pinterest and Instagram are constantly stretching the notion of what it means to sell handmade online. It can, quite frankly, be exhausting to keep up!<br />
<br />
In the last couple of years, I decided to take some new strategic steps to grow my business. My initial goal was to sell on venues that weren't just trying to be Etsy clones. Another was building my own web store and lastly, accepting an invitation to sell on <a href="http://hatch.co/">Hatch.co</a>. <br />
<br />
And it was the right decision!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDu4WjBJMoO1iz5MnHilXOeoElYzHwn4ETgcm65gyztDS6OVc_uHGZ9q4PkBKOD6zhxJjmAIrrsNmIiIJpP8eTcd58FIoACZu9zggDMV9zXf6PHcxpcW2_Tg8rPRYERmK0gk_Bh7o5fyDW/s1600/hatch+logo+official.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDu4WjBJMoO1iz5MnHilXOeoElYzHwn4ETgcm65gyztDS6OVc_uHGZ9q4PkBKOD6zhxJjmAIrrsNmIiIJpP8eTcd58FIoACZu9zggDMV9zXf6PHcxpcW2_Tg8rPRYERmK0gk_Bh7o5fyDW/s320/hatch+logo+official.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Hatch has a few features that make it a palatable marketplace for someone like me and my little business. I thought I'd share a few.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1.</b> <b> First and foremost, it's a juried site that features only handmade products. </b> Hatch invites sellers in and <a href="https://www.hatch.co/makers">accepts applications here</a>. Here's what they're looking for:<br />
<br />
<i>"We seek out makers who take pride in their creations and want customers
to feel proud owning them. Every item on Hatch is made by people who
are creators, designers, artists, and makers first; sellers second.
Craftsmanship trumps the bottom line. Process is just as important as
the end result. We are looking for young creative businesses who are
looking to grow. They may be a one-person operation now, but their
aspirations run larger. Hatch can help you get there."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In my couple of years on Hatch, I've never once seen a seller or an item that didn't belong in the handmade marketplace. That's a tall order to fill and yet, they've done it. Hatch also screens every listing that submitted to make sure it meets their standards, has good photos, etc. <br />
<br />
There are approximately 1000 sellers on Hatch and Anastasia Leng, Hatch CEO, puts their philosophy this way:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>"One
key difference is that Hatch is highly curated. We reject 90% of
seller applications that are coming in these days, and we value working
with the best makers & designers who take great pride in what they
do. Our vision is to become the place to discover the best designers and
makers out there, a place with a consistent level of product quality, a
place where every maker is proud to be showcased next to the other
makers in our community."</i></div>
<br />
<b>2.</b> <b>Hatch offers a structured selling experience that's uncomplicated and values the personal relationships makers form with shoppers.</b> If you're like me, you've probably given a few sites a try and found out in short order that you have to learn a whole new category structure, listing process, and SEO (search-engine optimization) strategy just to get your products out there. Hatch is different. The listing process is simple and obvious. I don't have to stress about things like, "How will a customer know where/when to provide their personalization?" or "Did I post my production time in 17 places so hopefully a customer will see it?" <br />
<br />
In fact, my favorite part of selling/listing on Hatch is the way they handle variations. For instance, look at this <a href="https://www.hatch.co/products/45808-personalized-mother-s-ribbon-wrap-bracelet">listing of a wrapped bracelet</a> in <a href="https://www.hatch.co/maker/RiskyBeads">my shop on Hatch</a>. See those little red dots? They identify exactly what info the customer needs to provide for me in a way that is easier on me <i>and</i> on my customer! My business is about the tiny details, and nothing makes me happier than being able to clearly communicate that!<br />
<br />
Also, you can list a product in up to 5 categories (!!!) and the tagging process allows you to choose from selected tags for your materials, style, theme, and who the item is best suited for.<br />
<br />
I've been very pleased with the customer service at Hatch as well. Anytime I have emailed support with questions, concerns, or suggestions, I am always responded to in no more than 24 hours and a few of my suggestions have even been incorporated into the site.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Customers are able to shop personalized items of every sort in an easy, fun, and systematic way:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When you're used to wading through gobs of search results on other sites to find the exact item you need, Hatch's fun way of shopping is very refreshing! I shop for myself on Hatch, and I like how much calmer it feels, and how I don't have to wade through pages and pages of mis-tagged products to find what I'm looking for. It's a lot less work! A few weeks ago, I bought myself this ring on Hatch:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://d1g0yr2wdfnxjm.cloudfront.net/api/file/7xSHrqZGTYyNlUVG8Ugl/convert?w=560&h=420.0&fit=clip&cache=true" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://d1g0yr2wdfnxjm.cloudfront.net/api/file/7xSHrqZGTYyNlUVG8Ugl/convert?w=560&h=420.0&fit=clip&cache=true" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hatch.co/products/91997-pathway-ring">Pathway Ring - WeAreArrow</a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I was looking for something simple and inspirational to add to the ever growing ring collection I wear (none of which I myself actually made, lol). Every ring has a certain significance to me, and buying this little, dainty archway was fun and rewarding. The customization process was simple, logical, and human.<br />
<br />
It's important to me to support small businesses when I shop, and I appreciate that Hatch makes that easy, fun, and apparent. When you find yourself overwhelmed either buying or selling on Etsy, take a little time to visit <a href="https://hatch.co/">Hatch</a> and see what you think. Already visited? Let me know what you think in the comments! You can visit <a href="https://www.hatch.co/maker/RiskyBeads">Risky Beads on Hatch here</a>.<br />

It's Sunday, May 10, 2015, so about a month away. We have tons of new designs for mom this year -- some are brand new and some are freshened up! Let's take a peek! Our layered key chains are always a hit, and this year, we've freshened them up with some new looks!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img1.etsystatic.com/058/0/5187337/il_570xN.752309387_4yvb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://img1.etsystatic.com/058/0/5187337/il_570xN.752309387_4yvb.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/228684029/personalized-mothers-key-chain-2-layers">Flower Power 2 Layer Mother's Key Chain</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next to our layered key chains, our ribbon wrap bracelets are an uber-popular gift idea and on trend! This year we've added <a href="https://www.facebook.com/riskybeads/photos/a.10151012931936215.479420.122082141214/10153150656626215/?type=1">7 new ribbon colors </a> this year and the bracelet below features one of them, Forgotten Forest, with our new initial discs add-ons. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Customers have been asking us for a larger key chain for awhile now, one where we could fit longer quotes. We've had a new aluminum tag cut just for us, and we're showing it off with our new Mother's quote key chain.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
