Sher's Leather

Hi,

I hope everyone is well. Today is a frustrating day. I can't figure out what people want/need. I would like to sell products that people actullay want. I thought Hand Crafted Leather Accesories was it, because, you don't see them in stores. But, it seems that I was wrong. People are into Fads. Whatever is the "IN THING" at the time, is what they want. They don't care about what they like, just about who has got what, and where can I get one!

Well, I can't keep up with fads, so, what do I sell? I'm getting frustrated! I feel like I'm up a Creek without a paddle! Well, any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sher

  Hi handlacedleather,
  Thanks for the nice words. I know what you mean about people wanting more for less. Hopefully someday they will see that the more they are getting, is not worth as much, as the least they are missing out on.
  I like your saying about the cookie in your purse! :) I hope all is going well for you and yours.
  
  Sher

  Good Morning Sher:
  I wrote you a private email with more info on me.  As a fellow handicrafter I find that these days people aren't 'big' buyers they want the most for the least.  Being a North American Native, doesn't even seem to make a difference these days,  The Orientals and East Indians are coming to Canada and U.S., scoping out our traditional crafts, perhaps photographing it, then mass producing it at a price far less than what it costs us to make it.  There are a treasured few who still value hand laced crafts and will go out of their way to find it.  In any event, keep your chin up, you must know, busy hands are happy hands, with all the children you have....  the business.....
  When things are bad and looking worse, keep a cookie in your purse!!!
