...Suddenly get really nervous when you see that you've had a sale?
Well, yesterday I snuck onto my etsy shop at work (shhhh don't tell) and saw that I had a sale! I was so excited, it was hard to not giggle like an idiot right there at my desk.
Then it hit me: all the horrible scenarios... like... what if I accidentally spill something on the ACEO before I send it... what if one of the kids has LOST the darn thing (in my house, that's entirely possible) what if I get distracted and forget to send it? and the worst: oh no! what if the customer decides they don't LIKE the art when they receive it... what if I turn stupid and send it to some random person because I mix up the address somehow?... and so on....
Oh yes, my mind can get the best of me sometimes...
I've only had one sale to someone that wasn't a friend or family member and I was so nervous and worried they weren't going to like it once they purchased it. Not to mention they took a while to give feedback so I was even more worried.
ReplyDeleteI get the same way sometimes. I worry about the feedback as well, and strangely enough I haven't received any back! So weird because one of the buyers was a repeat customer. Anyway, cool paintings!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. I think my biggest worry is they won't like it as much in person!
ReplyDeleteI always spaz a little when I sell something! Excitement, worry, excitement, worry, whewwww!
ReplyDeleteOh I get exactly the same way! It's comforting though to know I'm not the only one ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG yes, it happens to me too. I always worry that the customer won't like it! Luckily they all have liked it so far!
ReplyDeleteWhen I start having those thoughts I try to remember how EXCITED I am to GET an etsy purchase in the mail, and hope that my customer feels the same...http://orangiesattic.blogspot.com/
