HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I didn't celebrate NYE but it was very much eventful nonetheless and I did something fantastic under the pressure of a narrow time frame, that I can't share with you yet. It'll make perfect sense when I do, it's all for your benefit anyway. While pleasing my own needs at the same time of course but the time scale and demand of which is was done is purely to please my audience. You'll soon see.
I'm not into New Year's Resolutions as I, such as most people do not stick to them furthermore, if I want to change something I do so at the time. That is not to say that I am not all for setting goals with every New Year, month or birthday, I just get annoyed with the whole resolution thing. Mine is merely to smile more. It's much deeper than it sounds as I mean to smile genuinely, regularly, both from within and on the outside. It makes a huge difference on one's happiness and well-being, I'm seeing results so far and I would encourage it to others :-)
Anyway, the festive season is out Thank-goodness! Less money spending and binge eating or drinking with a reasonable excuse to do so depending on how you look at it. I like to eat excessively in general so that won't really change but the effort of cooking or buying something special due to festivities has calmed down now. Christmas was also a great time for my Custom Poetry Greeting Cards, check out what I had going on...
Pretty aren't they? There are a couple more but with some riské images that I shan't post online. I take the privacy of my customers seriously as well as the offense that some images may cause audiences so I am selective with what I upload. Since I am generally known as a Poet/Writer before a Card Designer, people come to me to write a poem specifically for them and that is the main focus when it comes to making my cards hence why I created my unique service. The content of which I have been commissioned for during this festive season has been lovely, very much made for couples and family members.
In saying that, my poems are my selling point. The designs are the bonus. The poems themselves have gotten longer, more complicated, more personal, more time consuming and higher in demand therefore, I am rightfully raising the prices. I will be charging them at the rate that I would as a Writer going by word count, however this would also include the hourly rate that it takes me to design and make the overall product. The starting prices of up to £14.99 that I have been charging for nearly a year was great to test the market with but has surely become not so worth my while with all the new orders and excessive requests that I have been given. I must emphasise that this is a bespoke service. Anything bespoke and custom is usually expensive but as we all know, anything custom-made and that of good quality such as my cards, are worth-it. So, by the end of January 2015 I shall be raising the price to £25.00-£50.00. I will still sell cards at cheaper prices however, they will be ready-made cards, as well as exclusive ones and mass produced cards for sale, not my Custom Poetry Greeting Card one to one personal service, although all my cards will be available to order on the Infiniti Promotions website.
Another festive, gift giving season is coming upon us so I strongly suggest that you order your Valentine's cards from me ASAP to avoid the higher fees. Consider this my January sale!
MORE CARDS, MORE SMILES, MUCH LOVE
LAUREN
