And I include a little something extra that weighs almost nothing. I'd like to know if others include a "gift" of some sort. <br />When I receive a package I really don't care about an extra gift. I'm happy to get the exact thing I ordered.<br />When I first joined etsy, it seemed that sellers were saying that a "gift" is important.Splendid Little Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732090154244573323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057824796799379825.post-74267497709780187522011-11-10T15:22:58.956-06:002011-11-10T15:22:58.956-06:00If you don't mind, I think I will add one more...If you don't mind, I think I will add one more item to your list: Be economical. As you pointed out when you said you keep things simple, it doesn't take much to put a nice package together, and buyers don't really want their cost of shipping to be higher because of a thank you gift.Judy Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405861781735927423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057824796799379825.post-87365501283044395702011-11-10T12:48:25.659-06:002011-11-10T12:48:25.659-06:00I hear people include thank you notes.

And, I also didn't want to ask my customers whether the purchase is a gift. I just wanted to share my thoughts on that.A Cup of Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352627643054847935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057824796799379825.post-7663875890949981782011-11-10T12:46:31.531-06:002011-11-10T12:46:31.531-06:00Thank you so much for featuring my handmade felt b...Thank you so much for featuring my handmade felt bags.

One of my goals for 2012 is to design custom thank you cards that fit my shop. I do include notes now, often that fit with the holiday/season/but it would be nice to have something specifically for my shop.Rose Clearfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334598119125293424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057824796799379825.post-8791894799577440492011-11-09T16:36:54.636-06:002011-11-09T16:36:54.636-06:00Thank you for this wonderful post!

Outside of that I pack more for safety and security than looks.
