Snapchat?! Ok let’s see..

Uncategorized

Well as the media maven that I am (read newbie) I am trying my next platform and seeing if snapchat could be good for business.

What I like about it:

  1. It doesnt have to be taken with a good camera, my lack of photograghy skills don’t matter.
  2.  Seems pretty damn easy to do at any point during my day.
  3. Could be a good way to show people the life of a 1 person business- striving to be a million dollar company!

What I don’t like about it:

  1.  How do I get people to know I’m there?!
  2.  Having to ask my son constantly what the different symbols mean
  3.  Is everyone there under the age of 20??

I will keep you all posted- meanwhile- go check me out there! @unforgettaballs

The difficult thing about custom work

Uncategorized

I started in the last few months taking on custom orders for baseballs- it’s fun and it keeps me painting which is the part of my business I enjoy the most. But here’s the problem- I’m a slow painter. Always have been, it seems the slower I am, the better the result is. Probably b/c my work is meticulous, it needs a lot of careful attention.

But whatever the reason, people who are looking for a baseball gift, for a baseball fan, love the idea of creating a personal baseball design. Which is wonderful, except that to create designs as detailed as what I sell on my site takes about 20 hours. The balls on my site are prints of that original painting, so I can sell them for $25, but the original would cost about $1100. Maybe I will put up a custom orders section where I can explain this on my site!
