Website
1. Hosting
2. Designer

1. Wix for website, 1and1 domain, weaning off of Etsy. Etsy fees vary month to month.
2. Myself (I’m actually really proud of what I did :))
3. Myself (Now that we know my camera’s autofocus is busted and it needs manual, I can do this properly!)
4. Myself, based on previous SEO knowledge & Wix’s guide
Social media marketing

2. Learn how to cultivate an engaging feed; tag photos to reach largest audience; take bright, attractive photos/videos of products & production.

Shipping
1. Shipping integration
2. Packaging materials
1. Shipping is integrated with Etsy, but not with Wix. I am currently looking into Shippo to process my shipments for my independent site. Shippo will allow me to integrate with Canada Post to get the best shipping cost, print labels, and even includes tracking, for an average cost of 0.10$ per shipment.
2. I currently have about 200 shipping envelopes, but also require address labels for small national shipments, and paper for all packing slips and international/parcel shipments.
Cost – varies shipment to shipment!

VCC – Sewing Beg. Level 1
(Sept 25th – Nov 27th)
+ Potentially take an added on course for:
Intro to Industrial Sewing Machines
Stay at Mom’s for cheaper rent. and comforts to stay on track. We will meal plan together n’ cut costs and time. This is located close enough to campus I can walk to class without needing to worry about time, or energy all too much. That saves on bus fare, or other transportation costs.
I will also need my phone bill paid up to keep in contact with my partner.
Gather some money. Go.
($393.81 for Beg. Lvl 1
$57.70 for the Intro to Ind. Machines)
Spend the energy, and time required to graduate.
Focus on the very basics to gain a stronger foundation and understanding of my entire product, and possible ways to progress with my trade/skill until the end of time.
Create 5-10 pre-sewn designs to capture the “look/feel” I want to convey with my hoods.
I believe it will be important to do at least 3 hoods with different kinds of pinnae, mostly husks n’ tusks, that I will heavily advertise to build up my first set of online supporter.
Possible giveaway for 1 or 2 in the beginning to rapidly help in gaining followers.
I will need materials, and time to create these.
Once completed, I will absolutely require using a few models/photographers I know to help with portraits for marketing.
Do the fucking work.
Create social media accounts.
A phone, and internet connection.
Buy a better phone, as mine is older and completely unprofessional.
Changing faucets, ordering more blender containers. Having Business cards. Generator or solar panel is the biggest one.
Business license
the money and a plumber to change the faucet.

For example, if I’m facilitating a workshop for young children with autism, I’ll need to understand how they learn, what they are comfortable taking on, and they’re ability to understand what is being instructed, so they can get the most out of the workshops and take-home DIY kits. If they don’t understand what’s expected or what they’re doing, they won’t enjoy it.

-I’ll continue to slowly build my inventory.
-I’ll continue to follow people on my IG business account I recently created.
-Once I’ve launched my business, I’ll post any necessary information on my IG and FB, so people can stay in the loop. This will also give them more information about deliveries, products, sales, etc.
-I’ll reach out (e-mail, IG or phone) to different organizations to see if they want me to come in to do the odd workshop/class with them.
-I’ll stay tuned for any upcoming vendor opportunities, so I can register and pay any fees ahead of time.
-I’ll create the odd video and/or written DIY tutorial for people to watch and/or read for free or for an affordable price. I’ll even create downloadable written tutorials (PDF) for people to purchase and download.
-Once I feel prepared to do so, I’ll create my online shop with Elementor. I’ll wait until I have enough money to pay for the Premium version of Elementor.
-Once I feel ready, I’ll sign up to be a vendor at either Downsview Merchants Market or the Hwy 404 and Steeles Market. I’d Uber/Lyft and/or take public transit to and from the flea market.

Value is measured by a product’s performance characteristics and by its attributes for which customers are willing to pay.
For example, Amazon.com has combined service and distribution resources to develop its competitive advantages. The firm started as an online bookseller, directly shipping orders to customers. It quickly grew large and established a distribution network through which it could ship “millions of different items to millions of different customers.” Compared with Amazon’s use of combined resources, traditional bricks-and-mortar companies, such as Toys “R” Us and Borders, found it hard to establish an effective online presence.
