9/17/17 Weekly Blog

http://www.simplysandoval.com is our website. Our store will be set up soon. Our multi-channel platform is based out of Florida. We are hoping and praying for all those affected by the Hurricanes this season. We will continue to add new products daily. The process that the multi-channel platform has afforded us is invaluable. We could not be happier.

Goal: Get all platforms performing at the same time. Sales on Amazon, eBay and Etsy each week. The sales aren't the best on all the channels, but some is better than none. List, List, List.

Our store will be set up soon. We are still adding products to our channels Amazon, eBay and Etsy while our store is being set up.

We have been sourcing the last couple weeks, but we have to get back to all the "death" piles. We've been carrying around inventory from our previous stores and flea market booths. Time it was all SOLD!

Ink - We have on our travels picked up some HP, Canon, Epson ink (still sealed and in original packaging). Today we can no longer sell HP ink on Amazon. So do we continue to pick up ink or not? How is the market on eBay for ink? We shall find out as we have some in stock and need it sold.

My thoughts on our recent sales:

1. As always, if you don't list it you can't sell it. 
2. All years of trading cards sell, even the mass produced years. Shown by my recent sales. 

Here's the to-do list for today:

1. Check for orders. Get orders shipped out.
2. Check for yard/garage/estate sales
3. Social Media Marketing
4. Get shipment ready to send to FBA
5. Add cards to CP (control panel)
6. Add non card items to CP (control panel)
7. Take Pictures/Scans
8. Catch up on/Watch YouTube videos

All-Purpose Cleaner: 

              

This is an excellent cleaner for built up grime, grease, yellowing from cigarette smoke and the like. We used this in the house we moved into. The previous owner smoked in the house. The walls were yellow and the custom cabinets were caked with grease and cigarette smoke. The little garage was used as an extra pantry. The canned goods exploded in the heat and then stuck to the shelves in 1/4" to 1/2" inch think dried up molasses looking spills. We spread it on and we were able to take a putty knife to it about 10 minutes later. This is just an awesome cleaner. 

When I use other items I will gladly add them to my recommendations.
