The variety is vital to the business, according to Crystal, who also works as a merchant at renaissance festivals. "A lot of the items I carry are important to me, because they are things I would use at home," she explains. "They are things that I would purchase, at prices I would pay. This business is definitely a reflection of me -- I have the frequent buyer plan, where the more you buy, the more you get back for free. I've made the site interactive, with the wish list and gift registry functions."
The site's blog at www.C3GiftsBlog.com is intended to help Crystal interact with her customers, adding a personal touch to the site . "I love my blog," she confesses. "My blog will not just focus on my site; I'll talk about doing medieval reenactments, and my sons. I have no problems showing pictures of my sons; it's a good way for my family in New Jersey to grow with them. My goal for my blog is to inform people, and kind of give them a place to go for 'happy thoughts'. I'm not going to be pushing products down their throats."
