E-Commerce Resources For Artists & Crafters By The Liberty Jane Clothing Team
Hi everyone,
We’ve added a little tool (over on the right) which allows you to ‘sign up’ to recieve an email when we publish something on this site. We think it works pretty well, (we’ve been testing it). You might need to ‘manage your settings’ after you’ve subscribed to actually specify that you want an email everytime we post. That is what we had to do…Let us know if you have any trouble with it.

Hi everyone, we’ve added a new page (look up at the top of our site) about Product Safety…with a brief video intro. And we’ve created a powerpoint presentation for you – saved in our Dropbox – it’s the black box over on the right side of this website. We’ve also placed 2 Consumer Protection Agency documents in the dropbox, which we thought you might find helpful. If you want to discuss CPSIA, leave a comment on the “Product Safety” page.
I hope you find this helpful, and Happy New Year!

Hi everyone, As you probably know Diana Lemieux is one of our partners – you probably LOVE her amazing hoodie pattern, (right?). This last week she had an auction end with a great final bid price and we thought we’d take a couple minutes to highlight the listing.
So let’s look at our Auction Blueprint and discuss the 9 factors to see if they played a part in this success…
We use a Canon 300D, and you can find them on Ebay for pretty inexpensive. Here is a link to some:

As we’ve said in our photography posts – upgrading your camera is a key to success. And the funny thing is, you really don’t have to spend very much to get a good product photography camera, (like the 300D), and a good product photography lens, (like this one).
Let me know if you have any questions about camera decisions.

Hey, we figured out how to do a poll. Fun. So, first question…There are almost 50 of you, yet no one seems to comment very much under our posts. That’s okay, but we were wondering…would a forum be helpful to you?
Let us know what you think:
So we recently wrote an article about how to get a nice logo made. You might be wondering how official trademarks work, and how you go from where you are now, to an ‘official’ registered trademark. Great question. It’s a question we had to investigate and learn about too, and you might want to as well. There is a process, and it’s outlined nicely on the Fashion Law Blog. Rather than re-phrase the article, we’ll just share the link here. If you have aspirations of going from ‘home-made’ to a formally recognized brand, then follow these 4 simple steps outlined in their article.
Ah, for those of you who are putting this all together – then YES it’s probably wise to start the entire Naming/Branding effort with one simple question in mind – “Can I formally register this name as a Trademark, or does somebody else already own it?”. Going thru the 4 steps in this process will help answer that question. Obviously it would be a waste of time to create and launch a name and logo, only later to discover that someone else already has a legal claim to it.
Let us know how we can be of help!
