Get Ready for a Profitable Shopping Season

 Hi all! It's a beautiful day and time to get focusing on updating and refreshing products for the upcoming holiday season.  Yup, I'm talking Christmas, it's not that far off.  With inflation and the slowed down supply chain it's a good idea to have your items updated and ready to go as people may be shopping early to avoid missing out and being disappointed when an item is no longer available.  

Depending what you are selling or offering you'll want to create attractive marketing to draw your customers in. Make sure your SEO is up to date and market in as many places and ways that are applicable to your business.  

Obviously not everyone is interested in the product or idea your selling but you can start with a small market of people that you know will benefit from your product.  Find sites or opportunities to market to those who will greatly appreciate what your are offering.  I know it's not easy and it takes lots of trial and error.  Just be honest and keep it real. Find the best marketing channel for you, what works for one may not work for another.  

Be sure your site is user friendly and easy for customers to navigate and make that purchase.  Making your products look the best they can and even showing someone using it in various ways can also attract more customers.  Keep working hard and your business will grow.

Wishing you a fabulous and successful holiday season for your business. 

Here are some of the latest products I've been designing lately.

Beat the Heat on the Hot Days

 Wow! It's hot here today temperature says 34 but it feels even hotter.  If you are blessed to be in an air conditioned home or work place that is the best place to be.  Maintaining a cool body temperature is important when the heat is upon us.  Drink plenty of fluids throughout your day even if you don't feel thirsty because your body needs the hydration.  Speaking of that I should go grab a glass of cold sparkling water, (she runs upstairs to get one) 

Other ways to stay cool are too have cold baths or showers throughout the day.  If that is not possible for you then applying a wet cold cloth to your forehead any time you feel too warm can help keep your body temperature down as well.  

If you have to go outside or in a car bring water with you and try to go out early in the day when it's not quite as hot or later in the evening when it's cooled down some.  

If you live near or have access to a beach, ocean or a pool now is the time to take advantage of these places.  

Stay tuned in to local health and safety updates in your community and surrounding areas.  

A little ice cream or a popsicle never hurts either!  Just a few thoughts... 

Here are a few designs to make you feel cooler... thanks for visiting my shop and checking them out!

Biking On Prince Edward Island

 June is a great month to bike on Prince Edward Island.  The weather is not too hot and it's not busy yet. When you cycle from town to town along the Confederation Trail and along country roads you really get a great scenic tour.  The fun is not only cycling freely but stumbling upon fishing villages, riding along the Atlantic ocean, stopping at beaches and riding into towns.  That's what I just experienced for the first time.  Everyone should get to Eastern Canada at least once in their life time.

T-shirts are Here to Stay Like it or Not

 Whether you love em' or hate them t-shirts are here to stay!  I know some people who would never wear a t-shirt in public let alone in their own home.  There are those who love a good classic plain white or black t-shirt and then those who want to show their own individual style by wearing a t-shirt that is branded or says something about their personality.  That's right what you wear will say something about you whether you like it or not!   

T-shirts trends for 2022 are happening right now.  You see them on celebrities, on television shows, sitcoms and reality shows as well as all over social media sites.  There really is a t-shirt style for everyone. 

As a print on demand designer I enjoy creating whimsical designs for different t-shirt styles that I sell at my Redbubble shop and at my Designs by Shell Zazzle store.  I use creative typography, fashionable designs from nature and travel and things that inspire me.  

T-shirts come in a huge range of styles, patterns, lengths and sizes. There is really something for everyone. 

Here are some of my latest designs.

Try New Things

 You know the saying 'keep doing what you're doing, keep getting what you're getting! Sometimes you just have to try new things.  I recently opened another online shop as I have been thinking about doing this for awhile now but kept putting it off as I knew there would be a lot of work involved.  

Maybe you've heard of the Redbubble platform that is also a print on demand site.  This is where I decided to open my 2nd store after learning a little more about it.  The platform is quite easy to navigate and they offer useful items such as apparel for adults and children, wall art, stationary and office items as well as products that are useful in the home. 

The line up of products offers some different items that Zazzle doesn't have which makes the designing exciting for me.  It's always fun to create and see what a new design will look like on a new item. 

Drop by my shop for a browse around.  I'm creating new patterns and designs daily so hope to have a growing stock in no time. 

Here are a few items form Designsbyshell at Redbubble  










Thanks for checking out my new products. Hope you enjoy them.
