Merry Christmas! 2018 in numbers

f5589-merrychristmas.jpg

As 2018 draws to a close, I thought it would be nice to look back on my first full year of running my business in France. And what better way to do this than in numbers? Here are some of my favourite facts and figures from the year…

9

number of countries I’ve shipped to this year - not as many as in the early days of my shop, but still super cool. I think people are enjoying shopping local nowadays, which is fantastic!

49

number of times I went to the post office before I finally decided to set up an online account to print my shipping labels chez moi.

2,956

number of followers on Instagram, at the time of writing. Numbers aren’t everything, but it still blows my mind that this many people want to take the time to join me on this crazy journey. Thank you!

13

number of new product lines I’ve launched this year - I love developing new ideas and I can’t wait to show you what’s in store for 2019!

2

number of times a day I get a message from a stranger on Instagram asking me to spend hours and hours walking them through how to choose/buy/use a laser cutter.

5

years on Etsy as of June! It’s flown by, let me tell you.

1

the number of big business announcements I have planned for 2019. Watch this space!

1,000,000

the number of times I’d like to thank each and every one of you for supporting me and my business in 2018. You’re amazing!
