Buy Handmade- The Latest Craze! GoZabo.com
Gozabo's Product Pick of the week!
Buying Handmade is the latest craze in the shopping world!
So many people are tired of seeing the same ole' merchandise at their local gift stores, shopping malls and Beyond (Bed and Bath that is). When was the last time you went to a baby shower? Almost all gifts are purchased from toys- r -us, babies- r- us or target! If you don't check the registry for the next baby shower, wedding or birthday party you go to, you will probably end up buying a duplicate gift and we all know how embarrassing that can be! At every department store and Hallmark you visit, you are never at a loss for finding manufactured, mass produced products made from overseas. They line the shelves and everything blends into one another looking the same! This is just one of the many reasons more and more people are turning to online shopping.coms like GoZabo.com for those one of a kind , unique, "can't find anywhere else" type of gifts! So here is a big warm round of applause to Handmade, American made, unique, quality arts and crafts that make gift giving once again a special moment!
A few statistics for all of you to enjoy. During our first month of GoZabo.com being launched on the World Wide Web we have had over 3,000 unique visits and over 30,000 page visits! Everyday we continue to see the word spread about GoZabo.com and expect nothing less! When people are visiting the site they are taking their time and really checking it out! If I had a brick and mortar business these results would have been unheard of!
We continue to ask everyone to add us to your blogs, send an email to your friends and family, chat with co-workers around the water cooler and rent a hot air balloon with GOZABO.COM printed on the side of it to float above the next art fair you attend! (Just wanting to see if you were still paying attention!)
One important piece of information for all of you.....The titles that you give your products on GoZabo.com actually have their own url address with "your title" in it. For example Jerry Johnson (photographer on the site) Has a picture he has labeled "Moo". His url for that actual photograph is GoZabo.com/product/art-gallery/animals/moo. If someone is actually searching for a product and type in the word "MOO" that will give Jerry's picture a better chance of being found even if the person hasn't heard about GoZabo yet! So pay real close attention to the names that you are giving your products and ask yourself what someone might search for that would lead them to your works!
I can't believe up till now that no one has taken us up on the challenge of making their profile pics more "Creative"! I am hoping that I get some of you to join the contest and show us what you can do! Maybe it's the summertime that finds everyone a little strapped for time!
My next newsletter I will be sharing with you some of the experiences we have had within the past week meeting some pretty incredible artists!
Until then, Stay safe and as always we love to hear your feedback and wish you much success!
Stumble It!
