The Little Black Box or The Sampler

I'm going to get my business card this week, and would like to send samplers (perhaps some buttons).
I've found out 2 places so far, and I'm considering which one I should send to

1) The Little Black Box
2) The Sampler

Here is some comparisons:

Lower limit of samples
The Little Black Box : none
The Sampler : 25 samples

Benefits
The Little Black Box : none except sending your samples to potential buyers
The Sampler : 1) a box of sample ; 2) logo being put on their site ; 3) discount on advertising on their site

Feedback from Etsy Forum
It seems that The Little Black Box has a better feedback.

Other consideratiosn
- You can simply send coupon codes too to The Little Black Box. There is no restriction on the sampler to be sent.
- The Little Black Box ships to the U.S. only.

Typhoon Day

A typhoon has just visited HK and signal No.8 has been hoisted. We didn't go to office today (yeah, 1 extra day off). I've spent my day off for my shop.

I've decided to print some business cards. Actually, I love Moo cards (especially the mini cards). However, they're to expensive to me at the moment (while I have 2 sales only).
Finally, I've decided to have my cards printed in a local Hong Kong store Print1000.
I spent a morning to design the business card and submitted the order. I wanted to show some of my items on the cards, so I picked up some pictures and made a college with Picasa.
Here is the finalized version and the outcome should have round corners which make it more special.

In the afternoon, I finished the mini wallet and cellphone bag I have been working on. Asked my husband to retake some more pictures in my store and take photos for those new items.
The new items will be listed in this week.

Revising my shop

I've spent an afternoon to retake photos (actually it was my husband who did it, I just pass the items to him and show my hand/fingers), edit & upload them to our shop.
I've also revised the descriptions and tags of my items.

Some photos need improvements, we'll continue tomorrow.

We've found that taking photos under natural light and indoor have great difference. We took the photos near a window today. Although it was not sunny, the light is far better than we had indoor.

Hope these can bring me my third, forth etc sales....

No Sale in July

We didn't have any sales in my 2nd month. Sad... V.V Are we doing anything wrong ?
Something has to be changed, we're going to take our photos again; change the descriptions; change the tags etc. Hope we'll get our 3rd sale soon.

Actually, I've been sick from 13July, wasn't productive during these 2 weeks.
