Favors by Gloria

2010-11-08T18:55:00.000-08:00

You cannot begin to understand how to create a masterpiece without the true passion and love that is involved.

This is the perfect definition to describe Favors By Gloria.

Gloria started Favors By Gloria for two reasons.

1. Her family needed a second income

2. She wanted a career that she would enjoy and also get to spend more time with her children.

Before opening Favors By Gloria, Gloria was the person to go to if you needed favors for any occasion. Now, what was once her hobby has led her into a thriving business.

So what makes Favors By Gloria different from the rest of the chocolate shops out there? Take a look at this photo of her chocolate carousel and tell me what you see.

I see great detail in every inch of this piece. True passion and love was used to make this piece look absolutely flawless. “Every piece is handmade with the thought this could be my favor or my centerpiece at my event. I want it to be fantastic I want people to oh and ah over it. I expect that all my customers feel the same way and I want them to receive exactly what they hoped for. The convo never stops with the chocolate order. I make myself available for all questions concerning my customer’s events. I have thrown and attended so many events I like to share what I know to my customers for their events. I like to open the window to new ideas.”

From Gloria Herself:

“I hold Designer Label Gal responsible for so much of my customer contact. D.L.G labels are my first contact with new customers. When they receive one of my pieces D.L.G makes it possible for them to know how to contact me through the info on my labels. The labels are bright, clear and fashionable and in many circumstances they match themes and colors of my customer’s events. They are perfect for my business and they give me a professional and attractive way to promote my business to each and every person who receives one of my chocolates. Many thanks go to D.L.G for offering such a great product and customer service!”

Designer Label Gal New Announcement

The Bitter Saga of eBay and DLG

2010-11-03T16:02:00.000-07:00

As of November 4th - Designer Label Gal

is officially closing their eBay Store

This has been something I (Sherri) have been thinking about for quite sometime.

I admit - it is SCARY. Designer Label Gal started on eBay way back in 2007. Before that, it was called "The Exquisite Assistant". I have been selling on eBay for just about 9 years.

eBay has changed. It used to be a place for a small business to get their start. Great opportunity for entrepreneurs to test the ropes, or just a place to sell some stuff sitting in your garage collecting dust.

The seller was protected from fraudulent buyers - competitors posing as customers - or just plain ol nasty disrespectful customers. Not any more. eBay doesn't care what the seller says, does. If the buyer says something - its true. You can provide all the proof to support your case - it doesn't matter - the buyer is RIGHT.

eBay fees have become astronomical. You have the listing and final value fees, then there are PayPal fees (eBay owns PayPal) - and YOU HAVE NO CHOICE on who you use as your payment provider. (recently they have added a couple more choices). When selling low price point items - how does one make a profit and survive?

In addition to that, Buyers expectations have changed. Not sure what caused it - if its eBay buyers, or the economic climate - or both. Buyers want product CHEAP and FAST.

I cant tell you how many hours I spent working on the terms/policies that are part of the listings I had. It was an accumulation of 9 years of interactions with buyers.

BUYERS DON'T READ. Standard Processing time was posted 3 times in each and every listing. I still received emails asking "WHERE IS MY ORDER" after a couple days. I responded with the processing time terms - and then I would receive a response back "I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, IF I HAD KNOWN, I WOULDN'T HAVE ORDERED". HUH? It was there, 3 TIMES?

ONE YEAR ago, I was receiving approx. 800 orders a month from eBay. Today - maybe 20. All due to Designer Label Gal becoming popular, received a surge of orders. I was a one woman business (which was also posted on all listings) - therefore, I struggled keeping up.

I wanted to hire people to help me, but then, I would have to raise prices to offset the extra overhead - I already was offering products at rock bottom pricing.

What happened? My feedback score started getting lower and lower on shipping time. The other three scores - almost perfect (4.9/5.0). It was just the shipping time score that dropped. Guess what eBay did? Took away my PowerSeller Status and then restricted my account.

I can understand if all my scores were low - but ONE. Clearly, I was undergoing some difficulties. I tried everything to contact eBay to tell them what was happening - HEY, I AM DROWNING HERE. I placed my store on vacation mode so many times, I lost count just so I could TRY and keep up with the volume. Sent weekly status updates to keep customers informed of their order status - posted my phone number all over the place so if they needed to escalate - they could contact me. Everything I could think of to provide the best customer service I could under the conditions I was going through.

eBay could care less. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Today - I am tired of eBay not caring. I am tired of the nasty emails from buyers. I pay/paid eBay a significant amount of fees each month - sometimes more fees than I earned in sales. They don't care about my story.

I did receive a call from a Strategic Account Specialist and they provided me some suggestions. But guess what - too late. Its not worth it. I am moving on. I have a store on Etsy and a Fanpage on Facebook and welcome direct orders.

I consider myself, old school. The customer is the most important thing to a business. I work all day/night trying to accommodate and please each and every customer/order that comes in. Sometimes to the point I get sick.

Yes, I would like to bring on some full time employees - but during this economic climate - my home is almost upside down - I am not bringing in nearly the amount of money to cover my mortgage/expenses - so I cant afford to. I do the best I can as a single woman and a single person business. OBVIOUSLY, I must be doing something right that I receive so many orders.

It eats at me each and every day/moment that I cant whip out orders in a couple days. That it takes as long as it does to process orders. If there was anyway that I could allow someone to sit in my chair for just an hour - and experience all the things I juggle minute to minute - you would then better understand why it takes as long as it does.

NOTHING leaves my business unless it is perfect. Rarely, if ever, have a received a complaint on quality. I spend countless hours researching for top suppliers for my materials. I scrutinize each and every design, each and every final printed piece to make sure its perfect. This takes time.

I humbly apologize I am not wonder woman. Would love to be bionic or rich and can afford to hire more people. I am a simple kind of gal, trying to keep the roof over my head, and the skills god gave me to make a living.

If you are looking for a resource that provides personalized/custom graphic design - top notch dedicated/loyal customer service, quality and affordable pricing - but don't need it NOW - Designer Label Gal is the perfect fit.

I am all about helping the small woman owned business - have lots of sales and marketing skills. I want to help other small woman owned businesses to succeed - it makes me feel good - I am a huge people pleaser. I am expanding my business and am working on being a full service graphic design company. I do graphics for just about everything a company needs to market and sell.

I offer personalized/custom products for you, your business, your family, your friends, events/parties.

Official Launch

2010-11-01T11:07:00.000-07:00

I am officially announcing the Launching of Designer Label Gal's Blog.
My 2010 New Years Goal. Still a work in progress. Needs a little touching up here and there - but I decided I cant wait until its perfect - because knowing me - that will never happen.

The purpose of this blog is a couple things:

1. Provide a place for small, woman owned businesses, such as myself, a place where we can share, grow, learn and just plain vent if we need to.

2. Post new designs

3. Post some of the interesting information I find you might find useful.

4. Promote the customers I help design products for. Brief story about their company, what they provide and show you how they use the products I create for them within their company. Contact me today for details.

Lets see what happens. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sherri

Owner/Designer
