already that some people create works of art to fight stress. They
usually paint, sketch, or sculpt. Others resort to woodworking,
origami making, or metal crafting when they want to relax. Like these
activities, crafting can help your mind and body to relax. The
process of creating something beautiful from scratch can effectively
take your mind away from your problems. So if you want to soothe your
senses and forget stressful thoughts, try making hand crafted works
of art today.</span></div>

earlier, almost everyone can become a crafts master. It only takes a
little bit of creativity to make something special out of the
ordinary things you see everyday. This hobby does not really require
expert skills. As long as you are properly motivated, you will be
able to create different crafts that you can be proud of. But the
best thing about handmade crafts is the fact that they are very cheap
to produce. In fact, you can just use recycled items, junk items, and
discarded things. There is no need for you to buy expensive art
materials and tools.</span></div>

tempting to give gifts that you have bought from novelty shops.
Sometimes, you really do not think much about giving personalized
gifts. You simply get something off the shelf, wrap it, and send it
your friend or relative. Gift giving, however, should have a special
meaning. There is a need to personalize the things you send to the
special persons in your life. Handmade crafts are your perfect
solution. If you personally create something truly special, your
loved ones and friends will remember you for your thoughtfulness.</span></div>

<div id="article-content">
One of the advantages of still living with your parents is that
you never forget the big days i.e. your mom's birthday, your dad's
birthday, your parents' wedding anniversary, Mother's Day, Father's Day
etc. But once you're out and living on your own you're prone to
forgetting these red letter days.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRNVYKgUaCg1tkfyPuE8z_PIhMUjo56LUUrYRMOzvp0hlP7I__h" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRNVYKgUaCg1tkfyPuE8z_PIhMUjo56LUUrYRMOzvp0hlP7I__h" /></a></div>
When it comes to buying gifts
for the important people in your life; like your closest family members,
a lot of suggestions that come your way include the phrase 'according
to their interest' but what these suggestions fail to take into account
is the fact that you may not of have seen your mom in over a month, the
last time you talked to her was last week and you never really got on
well with her when you were still living with your parents.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSFzPN3AFA2U_T3Y24lOMjbpLa6lfm9huvsxxdx92YdBCW2R0_Q" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSFzPN3AFA2U_T3Y24lOMjbpLa6lfm9huvsxxdx92YdBCW2R0_Q" /></a></div>
Of
course none of this stops you from wanting to give your mom a superb
gift on Mother's day because she is your mom and no matter what your
differences were in the past, you still love her and appreciate all
she's done for you your whole life. The major setback here is that you
may not have an exact idea of what it is that your mom likes.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As a
kid you never paid attention and things like home made crafts and
flowers were a great hit with her so you never needed to think much
about your mothers day gifts. Fast forward to today when you realize
only a week in advance that mother's day is coming and you wonder what
on earth you could possibly get your mom. It has to be something special
because you don't know if she got a good valentine's Day gift and you
were probably slightly less generous when you bought her Christmas gift
but Mother's day is the day when it's just you and your mom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSbM09BkQGfhnjUVHeYCZZuzrP665PHfAs3PKtFdsijYGjFpVwpsQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSbM09BkQGfhnjUVHeYCZZuzrP665PHfAs3PKtFdsijYGjFpVwpsQ" /></a></div>
Let's
deal with the whole 'According to her interest' thing first. Lets say
you're mom is interested in knitting or cooking. Does that mean you buy
her a cookbook or the latest catalog for knitting patterns? It doesn't
make for an appreciative, mother's day gift
at all as much as it does for a birthday gift (and not a very good
one). People will tell you to show appreciation for your mom on Mother's
Day and they're pretty much spot on with that suggestion but the fact
is that it can't be accomplished with cookbooks or knitting needles.
Jewelry and flowers are not the answer either; because flowers are too
cliche and jewelry doesn't communicate much sentiment except for the
fact that you couldn't think of anything that your mom would like so you
went with safest choice in the world.<br />

occasions to give teachers a gift. There is his/her birthday, Teacher's
Appreciation Week, etc.. So what are the best personalized gifts for a
teacher?<br />

Personalized Stationery: Your teacher makes use of
different stationery daily. You can get pens, note pads, or writing pads

<b>In this day and age there are a small number of folks that
choose sewing and other crafts as their preferred hobby. There is a
multitude of other activities to do that people rather prefer, more
modern, and provide more immediate gratification that tend to pull
people away from enjoying the crafts hobby.</b><br />

<b>Yet,
there are sewing crafts that are easy that are easy on the pocket and do
not require a lot of time. It can be very enjoyable for all to
integrate a few sewing projects into the time that the family spend
together. Not many families these days make time for quality time
together, but when they do that then integrating a relatively simple
sewing project into the available time could be a very worthwhile and
rewarding exercise.<br /></b><br />

<b>The
most frequently enjoyed is making clothing or assorted outfits with the
use of a sewing machine. Some folks are not very interested in that or
do not believe that they are capable of making a complex outfit. For
these folks there are other kinds of projects that can be an equal
amount of fun. These include making Xmas ornaments, putting together
tissue box covers, making beautiful dolls, and so many additional
decorations that one can make through sewing.</b><br />

<div id="article-content">
<i>Valentine's Day is a special day for the people who are in love.
This is the most awaited day of the year as people express their love to
their beloveds for first time. And those who have expressed their
feelings of love on earlier occasions they express it again as to
strengthen the existing relationship. Most of the lovers present gifts
to each other and thus express their love. There are end number of
things that could be presented as gifts. But the pre-requisite of gifts
is that they must carry some love value or message. Some intense lovers
use some unique ideas to express their love like valentine craft. When
you make some special artifact through your own hands to be presented to
your valentine, the craft is called valentine craft.</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: red;"><br />Some Valentine Craft Ideas are written below:</span></b><br />
Heart Shaped Pillow or Cushion: To make a heart shaped pillow or a
cushion for your sweetheart is a lovely idea. The dark red color should
be the preferred color. If the fabric used is velvet, its smoothness
will be adored by your sweet heart. The stuffing of the artifact should
be cotton or similar soft material so that it gives comfort to the user.
Some amount of embroidery on the surface of pillow or cushion will
aggrandize the beauty more. If the furnished valentine craft is light
and soft enough, it may be used as a soft toy too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Valentine Cards:</b></span><br />
You can use your valentine craft talent in making beautiful cards too.
Since cards have two basic features of beauty as well as unique message,
their significance is great. You can take a piece of paper in proper
dimensions, and then you may draw some wonderful love symbols like rose,
heart, cupid's arrow etc. You can choose any theme of your choice to be
drawn on the card. But message is the most important part of the
valentine cards. It should be written very carefully and from the heart.
This message will convey the intensity of your love and your hard work
in making the card will be paid off.<br />

book is also an attractive valentine craft idea. You can paste your

adores on this scrap book. The manual treatment done in placing those
precious pictures and the efforts put to make the scrap book look
beautiful will always be rewarded in form of unbounded love of your
beloved.<br />

Making handmade gifts can be fun and relaxing to make.<br />
No matter which
craft you choose, once you get going you'll find your worries and other
stress begin to disappear.<br />
<b><br /><br /><br />Inexpensive.</b> Ha! you
might think. But, no really, handmade gifts can be inexpensive. It can
be expensive when you first get started as you will need to go out and
get all your tools to actually do the craft. But once you have the basic
tools, all you need is the material, which in many cases is cheaper
than if you were to purchase the gift.<br />
In addition, staying home and crafting is a lot cheaper than going to the movies on Friday nights.<br />

How you might
ask? Because when you make things at home, you are not utilizing large
machines that require a lot of energy. You are using your own energy to
make the item with your hands. Thus, the need for huge factories is
eliminated.<br />

<b><br />Says You Care. </b>Last but not least,
there is nothing that says you care like a handmade gift. Time is the
most precious gift that we have today. Simply put, time is money. And by
taking the time to make something unique tells the recipient they were
important enough for you to take the time and make something for them.<br />

Whether you're looking for something special for yourself, a loved
one, friend or family member you could walk into any jewelry store and
pick out a piece. While this is possible, it's also important to
remember that in doing so, you or your friend will be wearing the same
item as thousands of other people throughout the country, if not the
word.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/019/a/f/watermelon_tourmaline_gemstone_bracelet_by_wrappedbydesign-d4mv8x1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/019/a/f/watermelon_tourmaline_gemstone_bracelet_by_wrappedbydesign-d4mv8x1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
Uniqueness is just one of the benefits of handmade gemstone
jewelry. Because these items are hand crafted there aren't as many of
them available, ensuring that the item you purchase is different, unique
and spectacular. This can make gift giving more exciting and make it a
wonderful surprise for whoever receives the piece.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With age old
traditions being used to make handmade gemstone jewelry, these pieces
are exceptionally attractive. There is such an eye for detail that goes
into making them that they are one of a kind. Unlike items you purchase
in store that have been made on a mass scale, these have little details
that show that someone spent time making this by hand and that is what
makes it such an advantageous piece to own.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8327/8394958010_2a62a9c8ff_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8327/8394958010_2a62a9c8ff_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
These items are works
of art. Over the years the traditions are passed down from generation to
generation, each one using custom techniques taught to them by the
parents and grandparents. These techniques are skills, they're unique
and they result in the most beautiful pieces of handmade gemstone
jewelry available today.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Surprisingly, when you purchase this type
of product you expect to pay a high price. In most cases when you
purchase a unique item, you pay for it. This type of item isn't
expensive, even though they have been made with real gem stones and real
silver or gold, they tend to be more affordable, because you aren't
paying for high tech machinery. <b><a href="http://www.misi.co.uk/">If you looking for a place where you can buy amazing handmade gemstone jewelry Misi is the right place for you.</a></b></div>

<div id="article-content">
Jewelry has the unique peculiarity of having been created with
the distinct purpose of adorning the body. Yes, there are items which
have dual purposes, like watches (and medical or military identification
tags), and there are items like belts and buckles which would
technically be known as accessories, but items of jewelry are there
expressly to be enjoyed for their decorative properties. Also, the more
ornate such a piece of jewelry is, the more it can be seen as a symbol
of the wearer's wealth or status.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-xThZs6ShRMqUQ816m904ScH1EolNg8m3oxN-Xa0Ei-jKnA8cHQ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-xThZs6ShRMqUQ816m904ScH1EolNg8m3oxN-Xa0Ei-jKnA8cHQ" /></a></div>
<strong><br />Faster is not always better</strong><br />
It
is no wonder that people throughout the ages have been prepared to
spend large amounts of money on items of jewelry that are unique. The
problem, however, arises with the mass manufacturing of jewelry by using
machinery to expedite the process. The result of such a process is
objects of jewelry which, although still expensive because of the
materials that have been used, like gold and silver set with precious
gemstones, are no longer one of a kind. Why would anyone be prepared to
pay top dollar prices for items which they might see adorning the hands
or necks of someone else as well?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/019/a/f/watermelon_tourmaline_gemstone_bracelet_by_wrappedbydesign-d4mv8x1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/019/a/f/watermelon_tourmaline_gemstone_bracelet_by_wrappedbydesign-d4mv8x1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<strong><br />Where did it all begin?</strong><br />
Traditionally,
all jewelry was handmade. The earliest adornments were made from shells
or stones and pieces of bark. Later, as people became skilled at
creating their own beads, these were extensively used as ornamentations
for necks and arms. In time the craft of jewelry making was
usually undertaken by gold or silver smiths, who often gained their
expertise at the hands of a father or other kinsman who was skilled at
this occupation and would pass on many of his 'trade secrets' to be kept
and passed on in the family.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3120/2877612157_07141310e3_z.jpg?zz=1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3120/2877612157_07141310e3_z.jpg?zz=1" width="320" /></a></div>
<strong><br />Handmade says 'Made with Care'</strong><br />
The
most exciting thing about handmade jewelry is that it is unique. No
craftsman worth his salt is going to turn out pieces that are the same.
For this reason then, one is prepared to spend more. In addition, these
distinctive items are generally more hard-wearing than those that are
mass produced. A jeweler who makes items of jewelry individually is one
who loves his craft and this devotion will be evident each piece. If
you purchase handmade jewelry you will almost always be getting better
quality items than those you buy over the counter. You might also be
supporting the work of an emerging artist, and who knows, the piece you
buy may become very valuable as that artist gains popularity.<br />

<div id="article-content">
<b><span style="color: red;">Children really enjoy the holiday season and they love to be
creative. You can get the whole family involved in making various types
of Christmas crafts. The time you spend together making them will offer a
quality time for you all to bond. Children will also take plenty of
pride in the Christmas crafts they have completed to decorate the home
and to share with others.</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.christmasideas123.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Christmas-Crafts-For-Children1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.christmasideas123.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Christmas-Crafts-For-Children1.jpg" height="149" width="320" /></a></span></b></div>
<b><span style="color: red;">If you have
particular Christmas crafts in mind to complete you will have a list of
the supplies you need to purchase. However, children are very creative
so you may want to just purchase some basic supplies including glue,
colored paper, and scissors. You will be amazed that the wonderful
Christmas crafts they are able to design with these common items.</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: red;">It
can be fun to allow the children to go shopping with you for the
supplies to make Christmas crafts. They may want to get some ribbon,
glitter, stickers, and markers to make the Christmas crafts. Some of the
items they will select may be messy to work with so make sure you take
that into consideration.<br /></span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: red;">Find a central location at home where the
children can work on their Christmas crafts. You will want to provide a
large table so they have plenty of room to work. In order to protect
your tables and the floors though you should spread out an old
tablecloth or even some old newspapers on them. This will also help you
to clean up the work area quickly after they have completed their
Christmas crafts.<br /></span></b><br />

<b>It is Christmas time! Your kids must be happy in that situation.
Even, that day is usually followed with the holiday season. So, it is
a good idea if you as parents can do activity together with your kids
in celebrating Christmas. Here, age-appropriate Christmas crafts can
be your right option in which your kids enjoy making.</b><br />

<b>Crafts for children in this special day are plentiful. Christmas
trees, candy canes, ornaments, Santa and reindeer create a festive
atmosphere at this time. Many of these symbols of the holiday season
make fun craft ideas for kids.<br /></b><br />

<b>Getting children to create presents for their friends and family
members in this special day is a definite means to keep them happily
busy. And a framed art can be one of craft ideas for kids that you
can choose.<br /></b><br />

<b>Any kids can sketch. Hand them a thick white paper, some pencils,
crayons, or watercolors and let them draw a Christmas picture. Once
the work of art is finished, have the picture framed efficiently in a
classy looking frame and let them offer it to their grandpa or
grandma as present in this special day. You could let the children
make picture books or activity books as presents to those they adore.<br /></b><br />

leather accessories, be it their bags, purses, shoes, leather pants,

art.</span><br />

<b><br /><i>Crafting handmade
chocolates and sweets is a good idea if you want to give gifts or
make something special for your family. Tired of your usual desserts,
then this is a good alternative to your average candy or chocolate
bars!</i></b></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSXGiaR-aWbN7Zq3MRdZZ476Cjt7djkOFtFvqLI6knZbpGQGOeHEA" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSXGiaR-aWbN7Zq3MRdZZ476Cjt7djkOFtFvqLI6knZbpGQGOeHEA" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>1. When making
handmade chocolates, you will have to learn how to select your
ingredients. You can drop by at a local chocolate supply store and
purchase the items by bulk. This way, you get more at half the price
compared to the pure chocolates sold at grocery stores. If you want
to make handmade sweets, like candies, the same thing will apply when
selecting your ingredients. To make things easier, know what to make
first. Once you have a clear idea; that is when you can start making
purchases. Chances are, if it's your first time in making handmade
sweets, you have a tendency to horde supplies and once you get home,
you are surrounded with supplies and ingredients, you are not sure if
you'll use them, anyway. Make a list first to make things organized.</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><br />2. If you plan to
make handmade sweets made from chocolates, the kitchen tools that
you'll need are: double boiler, candy thermometer, wooden or rubber
spatula, and bowls. If you plan to put some nuts, oatmeal, or fruits
in your handmade sweets, you can use a food processor or a mortar and
pestle to crush and grind these ingredients.</b><br /><br /></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>3. Once you are
ready with your ingredients, melt the chocolate in the double boiler.
If you want to make candies, you will need to do the same process
with the option of using a double boiler. But for chocolates, it
would be best to use a double boiler to avoid having the ingredients
get burned. Slowly stir the ingredients at low fire.<br /><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/027/e/1/1_12_assorted_old_fashioned_christmas_hard_candies_by_bon_appeteats-d5kw7fg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/027/e/1/1_12_assorted_old_fashioned_christmas_hard_candies_by_bon_appeteats-d5kw7fg.jpg" height="267" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><br />4. If you are done
melting your handmade chocolate, it is optional if you want to put
the other ingredients in. But if you do, pour the ingredients one at
a time and slowly stir to mix all the items in the double boiler.</b><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Candy_Box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Candy_Box.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>5. Some would put
liquor or fruit or herb essences in the mix. If you do, do it at the
last part of the process and stir the mixture well. Now that you are
done with the mixing, put your double boiler in a different surface
and let it cool first. Once the mixture has cooled, pour them in fun
containers or molds. Take note, for the cooling process; don't let
the chocolates stand for a long time. The same thing when it goes to
other handmade sweets. You can also put your chocolates in an
airtight container and put it in the fridge for later consumption.<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><u><a href="http://www.misi.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">If you are looking for handmade chocolates and sweets than visit www.misi.co.uk and enjoy our selection :)</span></a></u></span></b></div>

Choosing the handmade approach to your wedding doesn’t just
mean you save some money, it also gives you a one-of-a-kind experience that
completely embodies your style and taste. This is something you cannot get with
commercial wedding products, which are mass-produced for thousands of brides. In fact, you can have a unique wedding by
simply choosing the handmade approach<o:p></o:p></div>

You can also go with Vintage Gunne Sax dresses, for example
have a boho or prairie style to them that is perfect for rustic, outdoorsy type
weddings. And their price tag ranges anywhere from 50 to 300 pounds, which is
much less than most modern day wedding gowns.</div>

Instead of those low quality yet highly expensive commercial
wedding favors, consider creating something a bit more special and
budget-friendly. For example, you can make your own heart-shaped birdseed
wedding favors that your guests can take home and hang in a tree for their
feathered friends to enjoy. Using only flour, water, unflavored gelatin, corn

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh10avHVETXCHekmZLqQQBKiV-B53mxml00iT9akjzHVcxIFU6s4eXLkDP1GvMFtzCJm7FYxWBIIpihErm1s3Z7Fx4KoSTbbXKHL4s3h3Us95txW7EcSJDoRcgltbvq6gMmjvH3tqZICx-y/s1600/online+vs+brick+and+mortar+shop.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh10avHVETXCHekmZLqQQBKiV-B53mxml00iT9akjzHVcxIFU6s4eXLkDP1GvMFtzCJm7FYxWBIIpihErm1s3Z7Fx4KoSTbbXKHL4s3h3Us95txW7EcSJDoRcgltbvq6gMmjvH3tqZICx-y/s1600/online+vs+brick+and+mortar+shop.JPG" height="306" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Think
like if you have opened a brick and mortar store on a street at your hometown!
It is no difference!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">
A traditional store, requires some work from your side. First you decorate your
store, to make it attractive to the buyers- same is true for your online store!
A nice Background, a nice AVATAR, an attractive shop banner- all the above
contribute to have a nice online store!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
You make a nice store front with a beautifully decorated window, which will
catch the eye of the people on the street and make them to walk in- same on
your online store! You should have lots of photos! This is your window- this is
what the potential buyer will see! This is what will attract him/her to start
buying.<o:p></o:p></span><span id="more-21" style="font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
Imagine that you open your brick and mortar shop, and you place on your window
only one or two items! How it will look like? And imagine that this items does
not show well, the light is bad, they are small and far away from the window
front. Same is true on your online store! You must have a lot of pictures, nice
pictures, proper light, proper size, for the potential buyers to be attracted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
However, do you stop there? Is this all you will do for your traditional store?
Of course not! You will not open your store, sit inside, and wait for the
customers to walk in! Instead, you will start advertising it! You will go
around and spread the word that you have a store! First in your own
neighborhood, and then you will tell your friends, siblings, and everybody you
will meet out there! You will go to gatherings, family meetings, classmate
reunions, exhibitions, fairs, and you will promote your store! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Same
for your online store. Only here, online, you will have the Social Media and
the Search Engines to work with. However, believe me; it is no different from
the real life out there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
You will meet people online, and you will bring them on your online store! In
addition, when you will bring them, make sure that they will like your store
(see above).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
Be natural and consistent, these are the great tools to succeed online (as it
is to succeed off line)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
Here on MyMisi, we publish several tips and advice to help you. Read them, and
try to do your best. Success is not happening instantly, needs time and effort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #605d58; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
The only difference between your traditional store and your online one, is that
online you can meet far more people than off line. Follow some simple rules,
for your virtual store, exactly as you would have done on your brick and mortar
store, and you will be amazed from the success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPTTr6175MKnCChfszzNiopbHGZlyM6T7Xmjj43asMW0CVNaqAA6CKb2_TYXMTfyLEvorJvxi9_t4DAibX3urxx_TXkRTHwQtaFcCBCvysNIhkdgBzEUgCaQdBafAZbj-LuAw3WlPXMgk/s1600/FACEBOOK+LOGO.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPTTr6175MKnCChfszzNiopbHGZlyM6T7Xmjj43asMW0CVNaqAA6CKb2_TYXMTfyLEvorJvxi9_t4DAibX3urxx_TXkRTHwQtaFcCBCvysNIhkdgBzEUgCaQdBafAZbj-LuAw3WlPXMgk/s1600/FACEBOOK+LOGO.JPG" height="179" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On our previous posts, we suggested that you promote your
store on social media. This is the one most important thing to do besides
having nice items in your store. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On this post we will try to be more specific with what exactly
should you do when you start promoting your store on Social Media. As social
media platforms are so many, we will examine each one separately and we will
start with the most popular one, Facebook. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On a previous post “<b><a href="http://goo.gl/yDmFUb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tips to be successful using social media for your business</a></b>” – which by the way it is highly recommended to read- we
mentioned that just posting nonsense on Facebook, will not bring you any sales.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On this post, we will give you specific instructions and
ideas of what to post, when to post and some insights of what Facebook can do
for you, in order to increase your sales. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We assume that you already have a Facebook page related to
your store on MISI or MYMISI. We designed these tips to advance your Store
Facebook page, however, many of them can also use for your personal Facebook
page. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next time you are at any social gathering, party, lunch
or dinner with friends, pay attention to who people are most engaged with. Why
are people so engaged with a particular person? Inevitably, you will realize
that the people who are the most engaging are 1) the most interesting, 2) the
most attractive, or 3) the most engaged themselves.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Voila! You now know everything you need to know about
increasing the engagement between your customers and your Store on Facebook.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, there is a bit more to it. What is interesting to your
audience? How do you make yourself attractive through social media; and when,
how, and how often should you engage? These three qualities result in the highest
engagement and the most interaction, between people regardless of whether the
venue is real or virtual.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Facebook introduced EdgeRank, an algorithm that determines
what shows up in any given Facebook user’s news feed. The EdgeRank algorithm,
uses three components, each referred to as an “edge” (hence the name), to guide
what appears in users’ news feeds. These are <b>affinity</b>, <b>weight</b>, and <b>time decay</b> (or <b>timeliness</b>).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Affinity</b> is
determined by the amount of interaction between any two given Facebook users.
The more your interact with a fan, the more likely your posts will show up in
that fan’s newsfeed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Weight</b> refers to
the type of post. A share, for example, carries more weight than a comment, a comment
is weightier than a Like, and a Like ‘weighs’ more than a click on the post.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Time Decay</b> refers
to post <b>timeliness</b>. Like any piece
of news, the older it becomes, the less relevant and important it is, thus less
likely to appear in newsfeeds,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lower your store’s EdgeRank is in a user’s Facebook
account, the less engaged your store would be with that user, and the fewer
opportunities you will have to engage. In fact, on average, only about 4 to 17
percent of a business page’s posts show up in a fan’s news feed. With that, let
us look at how to boost your edgerank.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A lot of the content people post on their Facebook page is
personal, everything from “My baby took its first steps today” to “I just had
the worst piece of pizza ever.” It is the kinds of things friends, family, and
co-workers share with each other because that is what friends are for -- to
share the highs and lows of your life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, this kind of post it is not good for business. They
will not drive your sales up! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just how personal you get with your Facebook content depends
on your business. Little League scores, church socials, community gatherings,
are prime examples of great, personal content to share on your Facebook page if
yours is the type of business to which such things are suited. A related event
to your business, a major event on the news, can also be a start of an
interesting conversation. Avoid Politics, and Sports. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sharing personal content makes your fan base feel connected to
your store, it makes you more human. People respond to that. Why not encourage
personal sharing from your fans too? Ask people to share something about
themselves in response to one of your posts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Visual content <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Visual content helps draw in and engage Facebook users. Facebook’s
research shows that photo albums, pictures, and videos increase engagement by
180 percent, 120 percent, and 100 percent, respectively, more than content without
visuals. Meanwhile asking Fans to write captions on your photos increases
engagement 5.5 times more than a standard post. However, please, do not just
ask people to like the image of your masterpiece, it is not the right approach.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even something as simple as a smiley face emoticon in your
post can increase Likes by 57 percent, comments by 33 percent, and shares by 33
percent over posts without them. Emotions engage people even if they are just a
digital doodle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Use pictures in your posts to attract the reader’s eye,
then, surround the picture with clever, compelling content to keep them
reading. Relate your images to your product, and drive them your store.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Be funny<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Comedy helps a store connect to their audience. Store owners
that make people smile after a long day at the office, or better yet, laugh,
often have high levels of engagement. Humorous images, comics, and memes are
highly shareable content, as Facebook users want to share these images with
your friends, thus increasing your reach.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Humor can be simple, like a photo of a cute baby with a
funny caption, or a dog chasing his tail. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Be responsive<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just as people expect great customer service from you
in-store or on the phone, they look to your store to do the same on Facebook.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Believe it or not, 95% of stores do not respond to comments made
by Facebook users on Facebook. By responding to comments and questions promptly
on Facebook, you demonstrate your own high level of engagement and many of your
fans will be pleased. Why wouldn’t you take a minute to respond to your fans?
It is an easy way to increase engagement and create lasting relationships. If
fans bring up an issue with your store, try and respond to them quickly, in a
polite manner. Address their issues publicly, but if a particular matter
requires more personal help, have them email you or call you with their
concerns.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>POST AT OPTIMAL TIMES<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If a post falls in the Facebook forest and no one is around
to see it, does it make an impact? No. Take your type of business and your
audience demographic into consideration when planning the timing for your
Facebook posts. If your audience is most likely online searching for your
product in the evening, will a post at 10am generate a lot of likes, comments
and shares? Probably not. Because so much content is posted on Facebook each
day, you want your posts to be more relevant to your audience when you post
them, not eight hours later.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may also see higher engagement during lunchtime, and close-to-close
time, as people tend to look for entertainment. Retail businesses may see an
increase in engagement on weekends when people have down time to do some online
shopping. Do some research and learn when your audience is online, both the
hours of the day and days of the week.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>CONSIDER FREQUENCY<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Post new and relevant content on Facebook to keep people
interested. The average half-life of a Facebook post is about three hours. Because
of this, it is a good practice to post more than once a day to get the most
engagement out of your posts. When your post is still part of the news feed or
is a highlighted story still receiving a steady flow of engagement, it is
considered “alive”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>DISCUSS CURRENT
EVENTS<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stay involved in the current conversations. If a holiday is around
the corner, odds are your fans are involved and talking about. Post an image of
something you are thankful for on Thanksgiving, or a romantic image on
Valentines day. Your fans are more likely to share something if it is relevant
and entertaining.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This does not stop at holidays. If something big is
happening on the news, incorporate it into your marketing campaigns. After a
tragedy, post your condolences. Not only does this get your fans involved, it
gives your store a human face, making fans feel more connected to your store. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>ASK QUESTIONS<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Try asking a question on your Facebook page so that your
Fans are inclined to answer questions. Here are some tips for asking questions:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Questions that ask “where,” “when,” or “should” are more
successful at engaging Fans than asking “why” -- which seems to generate the
lowest amount of Likes or comments.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Asking for feedback (such as “Tell us how you feel about”)
on your products and services will prompt Fans to express themselves, something
which by now, you know, Facebook users love to do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Know your audience<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Know as much as you possibly can about your audience. The
more you know about your audience, the more effectively you can develop content
tailored to their likes. Use everything you have learned about your customers’ offline
and online to gain an understanding of who they are and what they are
interested in. Are they male or female, young or old (or both)? Are they
price-sensitive or fashion-conscious? Do they come in based on need or
instinct?<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Mix it up<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mix up the type of content you post on your Facebook page.
Go from humorous one day to heartfelt the next.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The more variety you have in your Facebook posts, the more
entertaining your page will be.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Post ideas<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Photos of happy customers- after all they bought from you to
use your masterpiece! Ask them to send you a photo while they are wearing your
jewelry, your jacket, or while their baby wears these amazing knitted shoes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Humorous jokes and images<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Poll your audience for fun or research<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ask fans to fill in the caption of a photo<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Invite subscribers<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Facebook logos are so ubiquitous they are easily overlooked --
even if the logo is clearly on your Store with the words “follow us!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People are busy. You did not ask them to like your store and
so it did not occur to them to do it. People may be aware that you are on
Facebook but since you have not asked or provided an incentive for them to engage
with you there they simply have not. Provide an incentive; it does not have to
be expensive to be valuable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Post new product tips<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Pin posts<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can increase engagement of specific posts by pinning
those posts. Pinning a post places it front-and-center (well, actually, top and
left) of your timeline for seven days (or until you unpin it). It’s the first
post people will see, and comes with a little orange flag on the right side of
the post to draw attention to it. Pinning a post is easy. Use this tactic sparingly
to gain attention for your best posts, the ones you know your audience engages most
with, or the ones you want the most people to interact with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want your Fans to be more engaged with your store on
Facebook, the answer is clear: Be more engaging. You need to be the social
media equivalent of the life of the party. Tell funny stories, get personal, be
personable, catch their eye with something visually appealing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Be as engaged with your Fans as you want them to be engaged
with you. Ask questions, take an interest in what people have to tell you,
share good news, promote a worthy cause and ask your friends to help you in the
endeavor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Getting more engagement on Facebook isn’t rocket science.
But it is marketing science. Put the social in your social media and use your
inbound marketing expertise and analytics to make it all work better.<o:p></o:p></div>
