**Please make sure to follow my new blog over at http://yesredpanda.blogspot.com for updates!**

As of writing this post, I've sold 992 things over at http://redpanda.etsy.com! I truly appreciate each and every one of my customers that makes running this business worthwhile. The kind words of your feedback keep me going!

I'd LOVE to make it to the big 1000 sales mark by the end of July. To push things along, how does a sale sound? How does 20% off + Free Shipping sound? Sounds good to me!

Take 20% off ALL products at http://redpanda.etsy.com for the entire month of July.
All items will ship for free worldwide as well!

Simply add your items to your cart at etsy. In the message to seller box, put code "Happy 1000!". Wait for a revised invoice before paying. Hooray!

Some awesome things you can pick up:

Was $55 + shipping, on sale for $44 with free shipping.

Was $85 + shipping, on sale for $68 with free shipping.

Now's a great time to pick up a set or two of stitch markers for you or your knitting friends. Usually $13 in the US, you can get them for $8 in July.

This week is Bracelet Week at www.redpandajewelry.com! I'll be uploading a brand new bracelet design every day this week. You can find a link to the new bracelets on the home page, in the navigational bar on the right, under "New Items".

Also, to make things interesting, take 20% off all orders including a bracelet. Use coupon code *bracelet20* at checkout, as long as your order includes at least one bracelet. Valid this week only, through March 6th, 2010. The 20% off discount also includes custom orders, so if you see a bracelet that you like that you want in a different color, email redpandajewelry@gmail.com and I'll make one up for you.

To kick things off, here's the first bracelet listed. It's a rainbow stretchy bracelet woven in the bee stings weave. :D

It's August! Know what that means? It's time for the August Red Panda-Monium sale!!!

This is the biggest sale I've run in my shop all year, and there are tons of great ways to save! All of these discounts apply only to my etsy shop at http://redpanda.etsy.com. Put coupon code "Red Panda-monium Sale" in the notes to seller when you check out and wait for a revised paypal invoice. Here are your ways to save:

♦ Buy any necklace, get any bracelet for half off.
♦ Buy any pair of earrings, get the second pair (of equal or lesser value) for half off.
♦ Buy any stretchy bracelet, get the second bracelet (of equal or lesser value) for half off.
♦ Buy any two standard (non-stretchy) bracelets, get a third (of equal or lesser value) for FREE.
♦ Buy any set of knitting stitch markers, get the second (of equal or lesser value) for half off.
♦ All knitting stitch markers ship for free with the purchase of any other item.
♦ All key chains ship for free with the purchase of any other item.
♦ For August only, there will be a Red Panda-monium sale section in my shop! Take an extra 20% off all of these items.
♦ Free US and International shipping for all orders over $75.
♦ Each order gets a free Red Panda sticker.
♦ If you'd like a free Red Panda pinback button, put "button" in the notes to seller (while supplies last).
♦ Tweet about this sale on twitter or update your facebook status about this sale, and take an extra 10% off your entire order. Put a link to your twitter/facebook update in the notes to seller when you check out.

You may combine as many discounts as you like. Add all the items you'd like to your cart, check out, and make sure to put "Red Panda-monium Sale" in the notes to seller. Continue check out as usual, but do not pay. I will send a revised paypal invoice to the email address you have on file (or if you'd like the invoice sent to a separate email address, note this address in the notes to seller along with the "Red Panda-monium Sale" code.

In all buy one get one promos, the "buy one" item must be bought at full purchase price to receive the "get one" discount. For example, if you use the "buy one necklace, get one bracelet half off" promo, you cannot use the half off bracelet to get another half off bracelet using the "buy one stretchy bracelet get another one half off" promo. You CAN however use the "buy one necklace, get one bracelet free" promo and also purchase a separate stretchy bracelet to get a third stretchy bracelet for free. You CAN also buy two necklaces and get two bracelets for free. These sale promos do not apply to past orders.

This sale is going on for the entirety of August, so spread the word! This is a great time to go in together on an order with some friends if you'd all like matching bracelets, or just all want to save some money in general. :)

Please email redpandajewelry@gmail.com or send RedPanda a convo on etsy if you have any questions at all. I'd love to help!

I'm also accepting new custom orders at the moment, and I'll give you a discount off quoted custom prices if you'd like a piece of jewelry made specifically to your likings, just for you. :)

Don't forget to put "Red Panda-monium Sale" in the notes to seller to receive your discounts!

Now get out there, go forth, and save!

I'm on a much needed etsy vacation! Here's the scoop:

I am on etsy vacation from Friday, April 10th - Sunday April 19th. This means that if you go to my etsy store at http://redpanda.etsy.com, you'll notice almost all of my items are gone! Not to worry though, they'll be back soon. :)

Now, I'm not on chainmaille vacation, just on etsy vacation. If you need some lovely maille (which of course you do), almost all my items from etsy are now available in my artfire shop at http://redpanda.artfire.com as well as on my website www.redpandajewelry.com.

Throughout my vacation I'll still be working on custom orders, making new items, taking product pictures, and packaging and shipping orders along with pretty much everything I do when I'm not on vacation. I just need a pause in my etsy orders so I can get caught up, and to finally take some relaxing time once I am fully caught up.

In the week I'm on vacation, I plan to have all pending custom orders made, photographed, listed, and shipped out. I'll be completely up to date with all orders. I plan to completely reorganize and clean my crafting space, to make better use of everything. I intend to work out a new shipping system, so the process is more smooth and my boyfriend can help me out when things get hectic. I also plan on reading a book in a bubble bath, going out to dinner, and watching a movie on the couch with my boyfriend. Vacations are for relaxing, too! It's been really hard for me to find time to relax lately, and I think a de-stressing is in order.

Thank you everyone for your continued support! I'm still around and online, so if at any time you have any questions, comments, or if you'd like me to start a custom order for you, send me an etsy convo, artfire message, or email to redpandajewelry@gmail.com.

See you in a week!
Jessica

Hi everyone! I want to share with you a relatively new site called ArtFire. It's mostly for handmade items, like etsy, but there's also sections for design, and for supplies/vintage. They have some pretty cool features that are different from etsy, and once the site gets going (it's still in beta now) I think it is going to be Fabulous!!

Best part about it? They're offering $7.00/mo verified memberships for the first 5000 people that sign up. Seven dollars a month. That's it. That's 23 cents a day. That's the same as it costs to list or relist one item per day on etsy (about). My etsy bill is usually about $30 to $50 per month, so seven is a GREAT deal! There are no listing or transaction fees. Just the one monthly.

They have individual item in house stats as well as google analytics. They also have have a feature called My Market Hub which allows you to link to your presence on social networking sites like twitter, myspace and facebook, but also to your blog and even to your etsy site!

They have a one page listing process that's nice and simple. You can accept offers on your items (although this is not something that I do). Google Checkout and RME are integrated! You can set your items to automatically markdown themselves. It's super easy to have a sale because you can just use the feature to mark down your items however much you'd like. Then when your sale is over it'll turn right back. Lots of other great things are features as well. :D

Of the first 5000 accounts, there are fewer than 35 left! This is the final countdown. The $7.00/month is only for the first 5000, so sign up now to secure your price. Traffic is good there, and I've made enough so far in the few months I've been there to cover my fees for years. Anything I sell there is pure profit, no pesky fees! It's great. Admin there are so responsive, too. That's one of the best parts is the helpful administrators.

Here's the link if you all would like to sign up!

Click here to sign up for a verified artfire account. :)

Can't wait to see you all there. :D
