Starting a Business: Going Slow

About a year or so ago I started selling greeting cards which I hand make.
My bosses kindly allow me to sell my cards at work (I work at a news agency) free of charge. In a year I have sold maybe a dozen or so cards totaling just over a $100. In conjunction with selling them at work, I also run an online store at Etsy.com. I have so far only made two sales from this online store, hardly enough to pay for the cost of listing my items. I also have a facebook page and business cards.

I want to know what I can do to increase sales. I am well aware that retail isn't great, and in regards to pricing, everyone that I have spoken to has told me my prices are reasonable.


 Here are a few examples :)









It would mean a great deal to me if anybody could take a few moments to have a quick look at my store:
https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/TwigsAndDuck
and then post a comment below with some feedback. For example what would stop you from committing to a purchase? What would you like to see more or less of? What information is lacking? etc

Thankyou so much to anyone who takes the time to help me!! It means a huge deal!!

Love Em :D

Indo Holiday 2 - Day 7

Day 7 - Saturday 29th June 2013

Today was our last full day at Club Med Bali, so we just enjoyed ourselves at the beach and made the most of it.
Here are some photos since we didn't do much else today :)







The show tonight was Bollywood themed, we didn't watch the whole thing, it was dragging a bit. So we went to the bar and hung out with Irawan :) We went to the nightclub for about 20 mins but there were no other guest there, just G.O.s so we went to bed :)
