With another potential wave of DIW's getting their wings this week, I thought this was an appropriate post.
So you got your wings and now you're an Independent Designer with Origami Owl. Congratulations and welcome to the family! But now you're probably thinking, now what? Well I've got a little list for you--
1. Create your facebook and Origami Owl websites. Think of something creative and catchy. Be sure to check the policies and procedures in the back office so you don't use any of the phrases they've requested we don't use. Mine is www.facebook.com/locketsbybrooke.
2. Make sure all your info in the back office is up to date and correct.
3. Chose your mobile payment choice. There are several out there but I used paypal for my etsy shop (non-Origami Owl related) and Payanywhere for my parties. I like both of them, so it's really a personal preference. I do recommend pay anywhere for parties because it deposits right into your checking. So you can keep all your O2 payments all in one place when someone pays with cash or check.
4. Use the press release in the back office. I haven't really had much luck with doing that, so if you have some tips for me on this one, please let me know.
5. Contact friends and family--everyone you know and host your launch party
6. Work on your display. Purchase busts, displays for charms, chain holder etc. Keep with the Origami Owl spirit and colors.
7. Google things like Origami Owl organization and tips. Watch and read everything.
There are so many things to do, but this kind of gets you a good start. Again, congratulations! It's a wonderful journey you're starting on.
