2010 - A New Beginning

It's 2010! The new year dawns a new beginning for Piggy's Little Shop. I was just deep in thoughts in the cab on the way back home today from a hard day's work. What do I need to do more for my shop in 2010? Here's what I have come up with...

1. Planning - More planning definitely required this year... past year has been more impromptu.
2. Blog - Definitely blog more and setup a consistent and structured schedule (e.g. giveaways & finds)
3. Marketing - explore other channels of marketing (e.g. cross & blogs) and come up with a marketing plan (campaigns & launches) by month.
   
4. Consistent - revamp my name cards, banners, avatar, photos to have a consistent look.

Looking back 2009 has been a great year. I met my KPI for the year in terms of sales, setup my monthly newsletter and birthday promotions and did more research for the shop. Overall, I am happy with my progress and I am excited to kick start the new year.

So look out for exciting & latest activities from Piggy's Little Shop!

BLESSED 2009! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year everyone! It's been a wonderful 2008 for me and my family as God sees us through the 2008. Looking back, here are some amazing events and changes that has happened for me and my husband in 2008.

• Our New Place - we finally moved in together after being married for 1 year.
• 2 Jobs Change for my hubby
• Organization Change in my workplace
• My hubby took his first flight to Hanoi (Vietnam)
• Our first flight together to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
• Our customary wedding
• Wonderful progress and improvement in my Etsy shop from 2007.

In the coming 2009, this is what I (he is still sleeping when I am typing this so we have not agree on the resolutions) hope to achieve.

• Grow deeper spiritually in God (read the bible and pray more often)
  
• Deeper / Greater understanding of my direction in life in terms of career (find a job that is right for me)
  
• Take a holiday to a new country (revisiting old ones does not count :P)
• To be less messy in the house (try to do more housework and keep the place tidy :P)
  
• Achieve new heights with my Etsy shop (e.g. building a new model and improvement in sales)
  
• Bring my parents to Christ (they are the only ones in my family that are non-believers)
  
• Improve and build a closer relationship with my siblings (I am close to them but sometimes day to day work gets too much in you that you forget what matters most in life)

And I will need to work with my hubby on the family ones :)
What are your resolutions for the new year? :)
