Daily Wire Tip Apr. 23: I Need Your Help!
Hi everyone,
Confession time.
No More Grounds
I was drinking my morning coffee yesterday, trying to find a good Tip for this morning, but I just couldn’t do it. It wasn’t the coffee’s fault; the coffee was perfect – a special treat, some beans roasted in Washington state that my friend sent as a gift. Here was my problem: I was staring at a page full of questions that I just couldn’t publish. Thinking about the Tips as a cup of coffee, I’d already enjoyed the whole mug, and all I had left were the grounds.
I know I’ve been sending you a Daily Tip every day for a while now. And even though they were really interesting and helpful for a while, lately you’ve probably just been skimming them and then deleting them.
Here’s why: for the last few years, people were asking us questions right and left! We were flooded by curious minds asking questions about wire working techniques, sales ideas, and even asking lapidary and rockhounding questions. But in the last few months, that flood of questions has nearly petered out – only a few questions trickle in a week, if that – and many times, they’re not even related to wire jewelry. I know I need to change something – I need to make the Tip of the Day better.
Here’s Where You Come In
I’m asking for your help. Think about it: What do you want to see in the Tip of the Day? Or better yet, what questions do you have for Dale Armstrong or other members of the Wire-Sculpture team?
Many people have written in to me, telling me they read the Tip of the Day with their morning coffee. I am so honored that you allow Dale and me into your inbox every morning. Please tell me how I can make our morning time together more enjoyable and interesting for you!
How to Help Us Out
There are 3 ways you can help me by sending me your suggestions and Tip of the Day questions:
- Use the “Ask a Question” form on our website
- Call our Customer Service number: 1-877-636-0608
- Or New: Send an email to tips@wire-sculpture.com
If you have a couple (or more) questions you’d like to ask Dale, me, or one of our staff members, please send them in! If you don’t have any questions now, just let me know what topics you like reading about. For example, personally, I really enjoy reading information about the different gemstones and minerals, because I don’t have that background like Dale does – I really do learn something new every time I ask her about rocks! (We had a great time together in Tucson, as she introduced me to dozens of stones I’d never seen – amazing!) But that’s me – what do you love reading about? Let me know at tips@wire-sculpture.com.
I’ll Only Send You Tips if You Want Them
And one more thing – If you ever decide you would like to stop receiving emails from me, it’s very easy. Look at the bottom of every email from me: there will always be the words “Change Your Email Preferences” and a link called “Click here to unsubscribe from all emails.” When you click that link, we will ask you to confirm, and then remove your email from our email list. If you would just like to stop receiving one email series, though – for example, the Daily Deals, and you’d like to continue receiving Tips, please call us at 1-877-636-0608 or reply to this email with what you’d like, and we will take care of it for you!
Email Me
Thank you for taking the time to read this email. Again, please send me an email at tips@wire-sculpture.com with your suggestions on how to make the Tip of the Day better for you – as well as any questions about making or selling wire worked jewelry. We’re here for you!
Best Wishes,
Rose Marion

P.S. For the caffeine-inclined: If you were wondering, the coffee that my friend sent me is by Craven’s Coffee, specifically the Eastern Washington University Eagles Blend – I highly recommend it; it has served me well for many years, as it has as countless other E.W.U. alumni. What’s your favorite coffee?
