Hi, to all lovely crafters,

Luulla is nearly one and a half month old today, and to see the site grows to a little community is really a humbling and exciting experience. We are so glad to have so much support and sweet emails from all the lovely sellers, you are really wonderful people. Thank you so much for making this community possible!

In the past twenty days, we have been busy building more features and scaling up the site to meet the traffic demand. The traffic has doubled since and during the holiday seasons, around sixty five percent of the sellers had made sales on the site within the first month of joining. Yet, it also means that there is still a long way to go, our goal is to make sure that every seller on Luulla is successful.

Each day, Luulla receives many new seller requests, we put everyone on the queue and only allow three to five stores to be opened per day. We intentionally limit the growth so that we can build a healthy and steadily growing site. On the other hand, we want to make sure that the site will not get overloaded, giving us more time to scale. We promise to put everyone on the queue on board eventually. Thank you so much for your patience. xx

There is another reason for increasing the number of sellers gradually. We want every seller on board to be successful. The community team is growing too, and for every seller that gets on board, we need to make sure that the team has the capacity to promote your store and your beautiful creation. We are thankful for your trust. It would be great if existing sellers can help to spread the words out too, such as promoting the site and your store on Facebook and Twitter. That would be awesome!

In the brand new year, the team has plan to release a total of twenty new features. Our engineers are working extremely hard to make sure that it will happen. Some of the new features released will be related to those that had been requested by sellers, others will be brand new, and will be unique and definitely delight all the sellers! We promise!!

Few days ago, we have also released a new Facebook application that allows seller to promote your Luulla store on your Facebook page. To install it, you can visit Manage Store->Seller Tools->Facebook Page Application. Click on the Link My Store to Facebook button to start. After installing the application on your Facebook Page, enter the subdomain of your Luulla store and it will just work! Having this application installed will definitely bring more views and sales to your store.

We wish all crafters a very Happy New Year, thank you so much. You have been wonderful, and we really want to make the site gets even better for you in the coming months! Thank you, and please leave your feedback to us on the forum as often as possible, so that we can build the things that you love!

Have a very wonderful day!

Tommy
