Show notes

Colleen is in France and Jamie & Stephanie did some soul searching about what we are tracking in our planners. They review their planners from January through April to get a sense of what they are tracking ad see if there is anything they are missing, what's working, and what can stay the same. Plus chatting, lots of chatting.

Jamie's tips for selling your stash:

Go through kits and photograph things you want to get rid of, put them in an envelope.
Don't under estimate the cost of shipping items, and packaging them up! That can cut into your profit.
Try to be reasonable when pricing items and realize the value you put on them may not be what others do.
Be realistic and sell things more often to avoid a big buildup like Jamie did.

The Realities Of Running A Planner Shop Apr 19, 2019

Show notes

Cutting stickers is not that hard.

I can supplement my income.

Stickers are expensive I should just make them myself.

These are the words long term planner people have heard from newbies that makes our eye twitch. We know what's coming next…an announcement of a new planner shop. This week we dive into what cutting stickers as a side business actually looks like with Kris who owns Insignificant Llama. She has been a shop owner long enough to reflect on the pros and cons of running a shop long term because you like making stickers you love and not being focused on creating a full time income. Also we share our planner predictions for the next year to come.

You can find Kris at @coffeeandcanclledplans

Here is the blog article that prompted this discussion from her blog Diary Of A Fittish Girl - Sticker Shop Real Talk
