      If you have a laminator, that might also be an idea for the inventory tracker.

    • @joshoemaker64
      @joshoemaker64 Před 5 lety +2

      Also...instead of having to recount every sticker each time, why don't you just subtract the quantity you sold from your prior beginning balance. For the ones with the "~" mark, you can probably easily see if you still have enough or if you just need to count for an exact remaining quantity.
      Another idea could be an excel spreadsheet that automatically updates with each order you enter. That could be good as you could track which stickers sell the best for you. Just an idea.

    Another great video. Will you be doing one on how it is you actually design & layout the stickers? What software program do you use...Silhouette Studio or something else? Just curious as this seems to be one of my biggest hurdles. ANY help you can share would be MUCH appreciated. You're kicking butt & doing great...keep up the great job!

    • @caitlinlorea912
      @caitlinlorea912 Před 5 lety

      JOANNA SHOEMAKER probably not in that much detail because then people could just copy her designs and make their own. From what it looks like she uses silhouette studio which is a free program you can design directly in. And once again I’ll direct you to inspired blush CZcams channel because she talks about how to get digital paper and how to put in your designs and dimensions and all of that.

    • @caitlinlorea912
      @caitlinlorea912 Před 5 lety

      I was just saying that I highly doubt she’ll fit a video on that because it makes it easy for people to copy. That’s all. I was trying to be helpful since you said that was one of your biggest hurdles was not knowing the program to use. Sorry if it came across a different way.

Would you mind sharing what type of sticker paper you use, as well as the setting of the 'blade, speed, force and pass' on the cutting machine (to make it kiss-cut your sticker and at the same time, to cut all the way through for the whole sticker sheet)?

    • @sarahkenney5921
      @sarahkenney5921 Před 5 lety +1

      Ahmed, that is really going to vary depending on how quickly you can get the inventory that you need to do an order. Honestly, I would start out with having just a few things in inventory and go ahead an open your shop. That way you can get a feel for how much traffic you are going to get and which items people are going to be buying. When I started out, I had 1 item that was REALLY popular and other items I didn't hardly sell at all. You never really know. Also, it takes a while to get good traffic to your shop. It can be a bit of a learning curve. Good luck! It's a lot of fun.
