I start this thread coming from a different/same direction as most reading this thread. For the past 20+ yrs, I have been a full time blacksmith making/marketing furniture, lighting, firescreens etc to a mostly upper scale clientele. One of the tenants I have learned is that most want a "unique" (totally over used word) piece that they can brag about to their neighbors/friends as it is unlike no other they can buy.
So, imho, what does that mean to those of us who make multiples of the same vintage? (We all know that often multiples are much easier and expedient to produce). So, what to do if you make a half a dozen of the same pattern?
The answer , I think, is to advertise one at a time as being "unique".
Rather than post six at a time, post one. When sold, post another. Mix them up with other patterns.
Just a suggestion...
