I've been thinking about this a lot...

At first, I thought about it generally, but I'm in a business class and they stress that you cannot be all things to everybody so focus and specialize... They stress Ford's Edsel senario... you can't try to please all with one model.

I was also in contact with a reputable online magazineer who told me that she did some market research a few years in a row at festivals, but found the answers to her polls to be "obvious" and wasn't sure of the validity. This made me question each question I was prepared to ask and wonder if I could guess the general answers easily... That helped me eliminate a lot of questions.

So I am really interested in jewelry and accessories... that's what I make. I am now finishing up my poll as we speak, but it has become more pesonalized and focused to what I need to know. I am finishing up my poll tonight, so I will post it in the morn... I would love feedback!

I am here in my hotel at TribalFest as I type and I found a printer to walk to in the morning... I will post my poll in the morning...

Let me know what you think!

Thanx,
Alison Leigh

Wish me luck...
