making labels - multiple labels to a sheet
I have just about pulled my hair out! I often do up special brochures for events and I like to have a specific coupon code for each event so I can track sales and know what works. This is just plain business sense; if I pay $75 for a bag insert at a La Leche Conference and then don't get one single sale, that was perhaps not a good idea. Of course, it's always possible that it was a success because it got my name out there and people now see my business as credible and bought at some later point without the coupon. But still, I like to see some sales.
So, I got this brilliant idea to buy my flyers in bulk and then print my own labels and stick them on. I designed my flyer with a nice empty space and bought clear labels 18 to a sheet for a great price. All good. And then the fighting started. The labels came with a template and I had a grand old time designing in PhotoShop. And when it came time to print, no matter what settings or program I tried, only the first few labels lined up. There was always way too much space at the bottom of the page so the last rows of labels were off.
I contacted Labels Online and they gave me some ideas, but it didn't help at all. Perhaps because I'm on a Mac; the settings mentioned weren't even choices for me. Then it hit me. I just set it up to print 3 rows of labels and I printed each sheet twice, feeding the other end through the 2nd time to print the other 3 rows. Perfection!
Now. I have to stick on 350 labels for an upcoming La Leche Conference! And quickly! The deadline fast approaches!

I love Enflyer for email marketing
I sent out a mailing (email) the other day. The next morning, I tracked clicks to see how many sales had come from the mailing. Two sales, one rather large. There. Enflyer paid for for the month. That was easy!

Follow me on Twitter!
What a fun way to keep up! Mostly business, but some personal tidbits. Short and sweet. I got the idea from Guy Kawasaki, author whose blog I've followed for years. Oh and he's also a customer! He bought an Ergo for his wife a few years ago.
