2. ● Every year we do a survey quilters that shop online to find
out their online shopping habits.
● When I did the survey for the first time four years ago,
only 51% of those surveyed said they prefer to shop
online. Today that figure is close to 59%.
● Fact: more quilters are shopping online than any other
time before. The trend is steadily growing.
● As with any era where there is a lot of change, there is a
lot of opportunity. Let's discuss some of these amazing
opportunities today.
● My hope is that you'll gain a tip or two that will assist you
in your online marketing efforts.
