I am curious to know whether June is already the time to put up Christmas decorations in the shop. For example, last year, I put out my crochet Christmas tree garlands late, and people didn’t buy them because it was clear that the order wouldn’t arrive by Christmas in the US. However, the highest sales of garlands made of stars were in August. I know that selles do Christmas in July sales in the summer. Maybe it’s worth trying it in June too?
Because my main customers are from the USA and that delivery times before Christmas are doubling if not tripling, I decided to run a Christmas campaign in July. The first item I listed in the shop was a garland of multicoloured stars in the typical Christmas colours of dark green, red and white. The stars bunting made up of 14 stars with string, crocheted from 100% mercerized cotton yarn. The garland is perfect for home decoration all year round, especially on Christmas and New Year celebrations. You can use it in a baby room, kid’s room, bedroom, living room, fireplace, on the wall, as a Christmas table or Christmas tree decoration, for wedding decor or party decor also. The garland is 180 cm (70,8 inches) long, and a single star is 6,5 cm (2,5″) in diameter. There are small loops on the ends of the garland. If you like this idea but in a different length or colour scheme, drop us a message, and we’ll be happy to crochet it for you.
Recently, I often have had to cancel orders in our shop due to the coronavirus. For example, last week I couldn’t send my collar to Malaysia, because it isn’t possible to send the item to this country by plane, only by ship and it takes about 8 weeks to reach the customer. On the other side, one customer from Australia surprised me, because she agreed to wait 8 weeks for the Daisy garland to reach her (and I’m really keeping my fingers crossed for this delivery). Fortunately, planes started flying to the USA from Poland and we are able to send orders this destination anyway. Certainly, we are realizing that the delivery will get longer so we starting to put Christmas items in our shops now, in July. There are 2 new items connected to Christmas – crocheted Christmas Stars and Bunting made from them. They are lovely and put us in a festive mood.
There will be more garlands from such king of stars in different colours, but right now I have only yellow ones.
