My First Blog!

Well hello.

By way of introduction, my name is Rachael. I am a daughter, artist, lover, friend, photographer, writer, nerd, videographer, paralegal, student and generally all-around expressive being. I'm a happy gal living and working in Seattle. I've always been a very crafty and expressive person, so last year I started my own etsy shop.

Today I was inspired to try something new. So I started this blog, which I actually started a while ago but have not kept up on. The purpose of this blog is to get my creative juices flowing, communicate with people, promote my etsy site, make friends and business contacts, write reviews, and of course, have fun.

That being said...

Currently there are items in my shop waiting to be selected as the perfect gift or note to say hello! Check it out if you have not already. I have some new ideas for my etsy site:http://www.etsy.com/shop/etsyketsy123 which should be available for Mother's Day (may 9th.) I'm not going to reveal these new ideas here, but if you are into books, paper, and a lot of creativity, you should like them! ;) I'll post when the new line is revealed! (photos here, but mostly on my flickr page.)

I do makeup tutorials on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/RMBrackett I haven't posted anything lately, but take a look and get inspired. :P

I'm a photographer as well. Check out my flickr site for fun, interesting and moving photographs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/reactionphotography/

It's also important to come full circle and mention my facebook fan page for my etsy site. I offer a continual 10% DISCOUNT to all my fans via facebook. CHECK IT OUT AND FAN ME TODAY! :) Who doesn't love to save?! :D http://www.facebook.com/pages/Seattle-WA/Rachaels-Handmade-Designs/272954166006?ref=ts

Talk to you soon!

How To Effectively Sell: Part III - FABG!

Hello All, Let me preface this post by saying that the FABG selling technique is not my original idea. When I was in commission sales I read a selling book that saved my life (and my paycheck) by Harry J. Friedman called "No Thanks, I'm Just Looking". While not the most well written book, Friedman does a great job of explaining how his years in the industry have helped him to form his professional retail sales techniques and turn shoppers into buyers. I recommend you pick this book up! It has saved my bacon many many times!! So, What *is* FABG? FABG stands for Feature, Advantage, Benefit, Grabber. Any item can be FABG'ed. Features - features are parts of the piece. Either a part of the piece or a characteristic of the piece. Often times this is the size, color, texture, materials used, etc. Advantages - this is tied directly to the features of the item. An advantage is what the customer will gain from the feature. Friedman uses the phrase "which means...

Artist's Collective #3 - Maeve Brennan

Image
I first heard about Maeve after reading Kate Bolick's  Spinster    at the beginning of 2016. (At first I hated this book, but then it grew on me as Kate's story continued, but I digress.) Brennan is one of Kate's Five Awakeners and consequently, one of the people in my Artist Collective. I think that Maeve lived the life that she wanted to live and I think because of that she is a strong female role model. Suffice it to say, Maeve Brennan was thought-provoking at the least. I've included Maeve in my Artist Collective series because she inspires me to challenge myself artistically. She wrote in one way or another her entire life, even toward the end when she literally had nothing left. There are people who talk about doing something, being a creative and producing work, and then there are the people who actually DO it.  Maeve reminds me that life is short and you need to live your passion because it can all be taken away in the blink of an eye.
