Advertising with Gussy Sews has been amazing! Trying to make real, meaningful connections on-line is not an easy task, but Gussy always has an encouraging word or useful tip. She has created a supportive, friendly, welcoming community on her blog. I feel honored to have Gussy Sews readers pop into my shop and then into my blog. Traffic to my shop has increased greatly while advertising on the Gussy Sews blog. I love being a sponsor for such a great blog and a great gal!

♥ Kristi from Barn Owl Primitives says:

advertising my shop with Gussy was such a treat! in a short period of time, i increased my shop traffic and made connections with some fabulous people. for my feature, Gussy asked some fabulous questions that really helped me focus on providing a unique glimpse inside my business. it was so fun to have the opportunity to share a little bit about myself and my business with her readers! not having a blog, i only use facebook to share bits and pieces, and it’s impossible to ever link back to anything. i’m so excited to have this feature as a link that i can share with my followers and customers in the future!

♥ Sue from SC Jewelry Designs says:

As a new indie business owner, finding your niche in the online world can be a scary and daunting challenge. The customer service I have received with Gussy Sews advertising has been amazing and they made me feel warm and welcome right away. The traffic to my site is growing daily thanks to Gussy and I couldn’t ask for more. If you are a new business owner, even Gussy’s blogs are inspirational and can motivate you to the next level.

Gussy Sews has been a huge inspiration not only in helping with the traffic numbers to my own blog (she is my highest traffic driver!) but also in knowing that another indie business owner like myself can follow their dreams and watch them come true! I’m so happy for the day I found Maggie and if I ever forget it I just look at the awesome bag I bought from her!

♥ Jessica from Allora Handmade says:

I never knew the power of advertising online until I found Gussy Sews. Or until it found me, I suppose. After my sister recommended a pair of earrings to Gussy on Twitter, she promptly ordered them. Once she received her package, she tweeted and blogged about them right away as a product that she recommends to her readers. The positive response to my shop (and in particular, my earrings) was incredible as a result of her recommendation. The day she blogged about the earrings, I receive 15 orders of the exact same earrings, and by the end of the week that had nearly doubled. Not to mention the immediate increase in blog and twitter followers. While I can’t track whether the sales came directly from her, I can track the increased traffic that her link brought me. Gussy’s readers value her opinions and her taste, and the numbers prove it. I can’t say enough about what her promotion of my product has done for my business!

♥ Emmy from Much Ado About You says:

The exposure that I have received from Gussy has helped my business more than double in the last few months. The first day that Gussy tweeted about me, I had over 1,000 views in my shop, the most I had ever had in one day. Gussy’s blog is consistently one of my highest ranked referrals, with about 7% of my traffic coming from her site. I get many customers saying that they heard about me through Gussy’s blog, or one of her tweets, or a reference she made on Facebook. She utilizes every aspect of social media that she can, and is extremely generous in helping to spread the word about her sponsors’ businesses. Finding Gussy was one of the best things that has happened to my business!
