I ordered and received most of the shipping supplies I will need in the coming months for shop promotions I want to start.

Supplies shown (above) include:

• Flash drives for digital products
• Cellophane Self-adhesive plastic bags for digital products
• Tissue paper
• Thermal shipping labels
• Thermal sticky labels
• Jewelry card holders & outer plastic bags
• Small jewelry shipping boxes
• Thank you bags for local business

My plan is to add new products to the shop and my Paypal social media listings.

I plan to promote new products on blogs and social media using my own photography and videos, however use product sourcing photography and videos on the WiredShops site. Wholesalers do a great job of providing digital content to help sellers promote products, however, I want to provide personal content on my blog showing my use of specific products.

This is where I am running into issues. I spent a Saturday morning trying to find the right lighting, makeup, and pose to shoot photos of one of my new knit tops, to only stop in frustration. I never changed my biking shorts & sandals to the pencil skirt & heels I wanted to use for the shots.

I cannot figure out if I need more lights, space, or just need to hire professionals. That said, this is only for blog promotion of shop products, so I will continue looking into this until I come up with a solution.

One good note, I did find closet space for the new shipping supplies.
