I've not made ONE single sale off the sight since NOvember. I do good, sometimes great at my shows and I do have repeat customers through custom orders. But nothing offline.

I've set up an ebay and an etsy account but not a whole lot of luck there either. I guess my question to you guys is.... what is it. are my prices too high, do my bows look really bad...do I just stink all around... I don't know.

I've put so much money into doing the bows and I'm just not seeing a good profit, if any, on them. I don't want to quit making them, because I enjoy doing this, but If I can't start justifying them money, DH is going to start pitching fits...

And for those of you who have the merchants websites, who do you use to host. again, that's another big investment for me not to know if I'm going to see any profit....

I guess I'm just frustrated ?!?!?!
