10/22/17 Weekly Post

http://www.simplysandoval.com is our website. Our Web Store will be set up soon. Working with GLETech.com to get it up and running. With natural disasters and firestorms, it will be a little longer.

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.

Website Update: 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've been carrying around inventory from our previous brick & mortar stores and flea market booths. NOW is the time for it to be all SOLD!

Ink - We have on our travels picked up some HP, Canon, Epson ink (still sealed and in original packaging). We can no longer sell 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. ***UPDATE: We will not be stocking ink moving forward.***

All the Amazon returns are being sorted and housed. We're adding a new sales channel to our multi-channel platform. We're adding eBid.

I think we have given up on the local game for now. Perhaps after Q4.

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. Mostly on Amazon.  
  3. Sales were not all that I was hoping for this week, but some is better than none.
  4.  Have to add more items to Etsy.
  5. Bringing home all the FBA returns has drastically changed a number of sales we have on Amazon. Have to get to sending more in. Gotta do it! Q4!
Here's the to-do list for this week:
  1. Check for orders. Get orders shipped out.
  2. Check for yard/garage/estate sales
  3. Social Media Marketing
  4. Add cards to CP (control panel)
  5. Add non card items to CP (control panel)
  6. Take Pictures/Scans
  7. Catch up on/Watch YouTube videos
What did Simply Sandoval list this week? 
  1. Some Amazon returns. 
  2. More 2017 Score Football
  3. Lots of Misc. cards.
Have you visited our website lately? Everything Simply Sandoval all under one roof. All our listings on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and eBid altogether.

This is what we use for our business:

I just bought the turbo 450 printer and it works great. I've used the twin turbo for years with no problems. 
     
We use both of these labels all the time.
Labels:
Mailers:
Packing Tape:
Scotch Tape:
I get Scotch Tape at the local Dollar Tree in 2 packs for $1

Other Cleaners:

Goo Be Gone, Brasso and Magic Erasers - All bought at the local Wal-Mart
For those pesky old price stickers we use Magic Erasers and Scotty Peelers.

Shoe Cleaners, polishes, and sprays:
We buy all this at the local Wal-Mart. 
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.
