Re: The Economy and its effect on Engraving
Hi Jerry, glad you started this and thank-you. I hope there's a lot more rambling that takes place in this thread.
My retired jeweler friend says jewelers are the first ones hit by a recession but they are also the first ones to climb out of it.
I did half as much work as I did last year. I'm a bit frustrated as well as I'm just gaining momentum in this new career and it seems like the rug is being pulled out from under me.
I sometimes wonder if location make all the difference but then cost of living makes that a relative issue.
The days of being selective about what jobs I take in are kinda over for awhile. I'm also going to look into some lower priced production engraving items that I can market on ebay. Airamp has got some excellent advice for selling on ebay around this forum someplace.
I'll have more thoughts later on this.
Chris
