pandacub --> frolic

For a long time I have wanted to change my Etsy shop name from pandacub to frolic, but there was no easy way to do so without losing everything that I've built up - things like followers, sales and feedback. Finally, Etsy launched a feature where you're allowed to change your shop name and I took full advantage of it.

Unfortunately, changing the shop name was the easiest part of my "to-do" list. After changing the shop name, I realized I had a TON of things I had to do, which included:
- designing new banners, avatars and other related images
- changing my Twitter, Facebook and blog accounts
- changing my email
- creating new packaging
- creating new business cards, postcards and mailing labels.

Argh! So far, I've only managed to design a new shop banner and avatar (what do you think?) and change my Twitter and blog over. I still have long list of things to do and I want to get them done in the next week or so in order to prepare for the holiday season.

Anyhow, I hope you'll head over to my new Etsy shop and follow all the exciting changes! To celebrate the new name, I'm also going to be launching a monthly e-newsletter with special offers and discounts and I'll also be running a whole bunch of contests - so please stay tuned!

If you have any suggestions or advice as I continue along this transition period, I'd love to hear from you!

welcome to frolic!

Hi everyone - thanks for visiting my new blog - blogfrolic!

This blog continues on the adventures of my previous blog, pandacub cafe. I had to make the switch to coincide with my recently re-named Etsy shop, frolic (formerly known as pandacub).

For followers of my previous blog (thanks for coming over here!), a lot of what I'll be chatting about remains the same - a lot of Etsy and shop-related posts, some foodie posts, and other random things that catch my attention.

As always, I really like interacting with my readers, so please feel free to leave comments, share links or email me at shop_frolic@gmail.com.

Talk soon!
