JoAnne Bassett website and my Etsy store

August 8th, 2024 by

When I decided to open a Etsy store it was a way to offer sales, offer supplies and essential oils that I do not sell on my JoAnne Bassett website. The Etsy site with a couple of clicks can put your whole store on sale or just a few items.  My JoAnne Bassett website does not have that capability and I have to manually change all of the coding. After the sale you then have to change all of the prices back.

I opened the Etsy store JoAnne Bassett in 2009 to offer close out sales of product and draw new clients to my store. A new venue to ship worldwide and to be found for handmade, small batch perfume. There were years I did not add any products..sell much of anything …or focus on updates, tags, titles, photos or all of the Etsy SEO and learn the new rules they have.

As the years have gone by the Etsy site has grown with lots of new stores.. new rules… and difficult search engines…Their fees of 10% just to sell a product is not bad but if you sell on offsite ads the add 12% fee to that to make 22% off.  You cannot opt out of offsite ads if you have sold a lot of product. So the total fee of a sale becomes 22% off. Now to draw attention to your store.. or even be found in search I started offering free shipping and or a sale of 20 to 25% off once in a while.  It helps to bring visitors to your store and can motivate people to try your perfumes.  So if you look at all of these fees together 10 + 12+ 20= 42% off.. or at 25% off it becomes 47% off.  Add on free shipping to the US and the profit goes down even more.

Offering free shipping is a Amazon idea that Etsy also copied.  The jury is still out if it is a deciding factor in a purchase or not.  I have tried to keep my shipping the same on both stores.

Etsy has been changing the rules and policies lately that has affected my store. Metaphysical services may not be sold on Etsy. Examples of prohibited metaphysical services include: Items with a metaphysical outcome (e.g. attracting wealth, love, etc.)

I saw how they were removing items from and closing stores that they deemed were claiming a metaphysical outcome.  My natural perfumes have all received Divine and Royal Alchemy and Divine Light downloaded into them.  This postive energy is not a claim..it just is.  Like adding love to your meal you are cooking for loved ones.. it is intention.

Yesterday I began to change and delete some descriptions of my store announcement and my natural perfumes.  Today I again see my products removed for these claims.

My purpose in posting this is please go to my JoAnne Bassett website to read the full descriptions and purchase whenever possible.  The idea of me putting my energetic perfumes on Etsy where they are not valued rubs me the wrong way.  I am not making medical claims with my essential oils or perfumes made with essential oils. Aromatherapy text books have shown research for the last 30 years or more listing the health and emotional benefits of lavender, citrus oils, and many others.  When you list St. John’s essential oil helps with depression. you are not saying it will cure it.. merely that it will help alleviate the symptons.

The items on my website are many and I continue to add more.  If you find a shopping cart malfunction please email me at joanne@joannebassett.com  The work of starting a new Shopify site is something I have done recently. There is too much to do with it and I do not have time to remake what I already have. My website is also in search engines for many years so I must consider that.

Again I thank you for your business and support with this. I appologize if you have trouble with my website.

My focus these days is selling my Perfume Formulas and/ or selling my company JoAnne Bassett and leave my legacy.  No one is promised tomorrow.

Summer Solstice Perfumes For Support

June 20th, 2024 by

What does the summer solstice symbolize?

It’s often said to be a time of new beginnings; with the changing of the seasons, we say goodbye to a long, stagnant period of self-reflection and welcome the fiery energy of the sun to propel us forward. This very physical changing of the seasons is a powerful time to manifest spiritual transformations.

The first day of summer is the longest day of the year.  This year it is today June 20 in the USA.

As a child going to school I could not wait for summer vacation. “Going up to the lake”, staying in a cabin at a resort in Minnesota or Wisconsin.  Visiting old family friends and relatives, going swimming, barbecues, picnics, fishing in the lake from the dock or in a boat, parades, fairs, celebrations, and much more.

The summer went by so quickly.  On this first day of summer… let’s make the most of this day and this season.  Explore, do some new forms of exercise, meditate or pray.. get spiritual…  and see what makes you tick. What new project do you want to start now?  What new books do you want to read this summer?  What makes you happy now? What are you grateful for?

And for the release of the old.. what no longer serves you that you can let go of?  People, places and things.  Journal to get to the bottom of the matter and then make the change. You will be happier by Labor Day if you release it now…

If you haven’t been to my JoAnne Bassett website for a while perhaps it is time to revisit it.  Magical Perfumes and Empowering Perfumes to support you on your journey.

Sending blessings to you all on this auspicious day.

Memorial Day Sale

May 27th, 2024 by

Memorial Day is an important day for us as we collectively pause to reflect and honor the service members who gave their lives for this great nation, as well as the families and friends they left behind. Never forget their sacrifice.

I am having a 20% off Memorial Day sale on Etsy.  It starts today and ends June 4.  I no longer do the telesummits but I continue to create energetic light filled collections.  Have you tried the over the top Divine Collection?  A 1 ml eau de perfume sample is now $4.80.

Recently I have watched people filling up their shopping carts at the big stores …soda, junk food, and sugar filled everything. Gmo’s and pesticides, and color additives in many foods. Also lots of plastic junk that serves as toys for children and games that are violent.  What are we doing to our bodies, minds and souls?

We are honoring the fallen soldiers today on Memorial Day.  I think we need to take a look at what “we are doing to ourselves”.  We do not need a war to kill our people we are doing a great job ourselves.  Diabetes, cancer, dementia.. and many other dis – eases in our bodies. Taking bioweapon jabs that bring on many diseases and condtions. Do your own research and stop believing everything the news tells you.

My hope is that you will respect your bodies to eat healthy, get proper exercise – if that is only a 30 minute walk or gardening. Go inside meditate, pray, do what you need to feel grateful and watch your thoughts.

Remember all of my natural perfumes have royal and divine alchemy included. The energetic botanical perfumes smell beautiful and raise your vibrations and align you with your highest self. This will bring you more prosperity, more love, more joy, empowerment,  wonderful connections and miracles daily.

Have a great day and remember our loved ones who have passed.  Blessings to you all.

Happy Mother’s Day

April 26th, 2024 by

 

In 14 days we will have another celebration. This time it is a celebration of Mothers.

Mothers come in all shapes and sizes; young and old.  What is my definition of a Mother.  One who is a caregiver.. one who takes care of someone or something.  They can give love and attention to a human being – someone they gave birth to or not,  a pet, an animal, a house plant, a vegetable or flower garden, or any other energetic thing that you deem is worthy of your attention and affection.

On this occasion I would suggest anyone who determines they are a Mother in some shape or form… please celebrate.. Take yourself out for lunch or dinner, buy yourself some healing energetic perfumes that give back to you.  Remember that I add Divine Light and Alchemy to all of the perfumes I create to uplift you to the higher vibrations. Just apply it and smell deeply.

Replenishing your energy and filling up your cup.  What does that look like for you?

I have put my Divine Destiny and Bubble of Divine Love perfumes on a closeout sale at 50% off at Etsy.

I am having a Mother’s Day sale on my whole Etsy store at 20% off on all of the other items. This sale ends on April 30.

If you just want the Perfume Kit at 20% off you can buy it here on my website. 

Have a great day and enjoy the lovely weather and the gifts of Mother Nature.
