Big Recycling Company Buys From Tiny Me For The Holidays

I sold 120 ornaments to a big recycling company in PA. Their purchase just about wiped out two variation listings. That is it...I am excited and just wanted to share.

I hope you are seeing a holiday sales uptick as well.

Congrats on a well deserved sale!

I think I would need a whole other tree if I were to get all the ones I want from your store. Never knew I needed a White Claw Christmas ornament before today ðŸ¤£

Only if the buyer reveals their source.

I'll bet Mcd puts a card/flyer in his stuff that id's him as the maker..........if not, he should (lol)

lol, maybe he should "spam" a few local garbage businesses.............

Very true.

I have shared my eBay info and sent a coupon code that can also be shared. So maybe I will get more sales or maybe not.

I am thinking gifts for employees, but do not know for sure. Their plant looks BIG with heavy equipment, 18-wheelers, and garbage-type trucks, so I bet they have lots of employees.

I'll bet they are for employees - you do really cool work and it's perfect for a recycling company. Anyway, that's great!

Or they'll use your items as Christmas promotional gifts for current and prospective clients.

Congratulations! I wonder if they are going to display them at their office/workspace? Maybe you should send them a page they can display with information about your business (and with a prominent QR Code people can scan to see your store?)

I did not ask what they intended to do with the ornaments. I did share info about my eBay store and a coupon code to share as they would like or to use themselves.
