Wow, Saturday was busy! Not that the sales were high, but that lots of people were spending a little at a time! Sales were respectable. But I sure was tired by the time I got home. I didn't get a chance to work on the website at all. I was constantly poping up from the computer! Slower days are fine for working on the computer, but not busy days.

Today has been very busy too, but less sales. More lookers than buyers. That is good also as lookers eventually come back to buy. Sometimes there are so many people in here that its hard to move! I do so look forward to having more room. It will be exciting if that gets full of people! If we could just get our new address so we can let our customers know where we will be!! Some people have been customers since the beginning, and others have been referred to us. Many just stop in and love us. A few thought we left when we moved to this spot. I hope that whatever category you fall in, you will find us when we move. After all, without our customers, we wouldn't exist!

I did get some information in the mail yesterday about marketing. It was good to see that I am headed in the right direction. The article said to use email, facebook, twitter, and blogging. The response rates for email is much higher than for other mediums. Now we do still have to add newspaper ads, tv, and radio for a good mix. For now we are getting more bang for our buck as these mediums are free other than the time I personally put into it. And of course I have to get the website up, if at least to direct people to my facebook, twitter, blog, and capture emails!

Monday we look at another property in Broken Arrow. We also will look at more properties in midtown. Tuesday will be a drive to Oklahoma City for a doctor's appointment for Greg. In my spare time I'll be trying to put together the orders we will need for the new store. Every department will be increased and new products added. I have several more wholesalers to check out. I've also been looking into making our own products. Any suggestions on what you would like to see?
