What's New?
Here are the highlights of what's new with me and the Yankee Expressions web site.
Named Zazzle ProSeller!
July 16, 2011 - I am proud to announce I was named a Zazzle ProSeller earlier this week! This honor recognizes the continued success of my Zazzle shops led by my current flagship shop: the Yankee Expressions Zazzle Shop.
It may look like I have been taking it easy this year but that is the farthest thing from the truth! I have been very hard at work getting ready for the big announcements I mentioned at the beginning of the year. Getting closer to making some of those announcements.
Happy New Year!
January 1, 2011 - Wow! What a great year 2010 was! Thank you all from helping 2010 sales TRIPLE 2009 sales. My best day of on-line sales in 2010 matched by best MONTH in 2009. And my best month in 2010 surpassed the whole YEAR of 2009! 2010 saw a lot of firsts: my 1st commissioned sign-making project, my 1st sale to Poland (a Ski USA hoodie!), gave my 1st interview as a designer, and on and on!
I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store! I know I have set some pretty aggressive goals for the coming year and expect several big announcements.
First up is a new shop featuring a full do-it-yourself section to allow you to join in on the creative process. Check out the Yankee Expressions Deco Apparel shop.
New Web Site Design Released
October 1, 2010 - I am pleased to unveil the all new YankeeExpressions.com web site redesigned from the ground up to better meet the needs of my current and prospective customers.
