Happy Birthday Red Instead!
Hi! Are you a new or recent visitor to my blog? I hope you stick around and have a bit of a read. To make it easier to keep up to date with new content, please subscribe to my RSS feed. Of course, feedback is always appreciated and leaving a comment is a great way for me to come and check out your site.
Red Instead recently turned 3! I want to write some more about this very soon but in the meantime I wanted to let you all know that the Red Instead website has just reopened after a “maintenance break” and it’s ALL NEW and IMPROVED!
The website has many new items and has a new focus - much more variety in the items I will be selling, happily handmade (as always) and lots of one of a kinds.
Previously the Red Instead site only sold children’s clothing but as the business and my craft interests have expanded so much over the last couple of years, I have decided to let the main webshop reflect that. You will now find jewellery, art and photo canvases, papercraft and cards, craft books and lots more.
Please head over and have a look and know that I would really appreciate your honest feedback. Sometimes it can be hard to set pricing so that is always a worry for me. Let me know if you think I have set it too high (or too low!) and feel free to pass the news around!

Hi
I think the “hand made” quality is one of the things that really adds value. It would be interesting to bring some of the interesting aspects of this out in your blog. For example, how about interviews with the people who make the products? Talking about how they do it, what inspires their different designs, and so on.
Also, I’m guessing that new products and new designs come out (after all, this tends to be the nature of hand made). How about a post each time?
Perhaps a contest for the best suggestion for a new product/design (within your current product line). Make it fun…maybe the winner gets a personalised version of the first item of the winning design??
Just some ideas. You do get a load of visitors but not many comments. Perhaps if you pulled out the history, people and designs behind the products (as per my suggestions above), the blog would become much more interactive. I’m a big fan or people selling products like yours, but I think your blog can add more to the creative nature and values of the products.
Best of luck,
Robert
