The Summer Challenge

Is it the heat? The political climate? The doldrums before the Christmas rush?

Several members of the team have complained of a lack of motivation. We know there are things we should do for our shops, but we're just not very proactive in getting them done.

So, let's give ourselves a collective kick in the rear end.

I propose a challenge. From now through the end of August, I'll challenge everyone with a goal every couple of days. And you let us know if you've completed it.

First up, our shops. Several shop owners have expressed a desire to get more items listed in their shops. So, that's this week's challenge.

Post a new item in your shop by Friday, July 29th. (Or revamp an old item--new pictures, description, keywords, or whatever else it needs to feel fresh.) 

When you've listed your new item, let us know. Comment with a link to the item here, post it to the CCCOE Team's Facebook page, or post it on Instagram or Twitter with #CCCOEchallenge.

  4. Here is a new listing from my Ocean Avenue Silks shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/468915467/hand-painted-silk-scarf-in-turquoise-and
    A customer requested this combination and I always make 2. Not as vibrant as my usual colors, but hopefully someone will love these two colors combined!
