more store pics

Here are some pics

Oh, was going to ad some pics.

If I build it, will they come?

Well it has been slow customer-wise. I mean, alot of people are coming by to check us out but sales are a bit slow. Can't make the rent at this speed! lol! However, our sales this week are already above the sales of last week. A nice steady increase, thats always good!

We sent out flyers to our preferred customers with e-mails, and postcards to the others. If you are on our preferred list and didn't get either, check your junk mail or come by to pick up your membership card and make sure we have all your information correct. Sometimes its difficult to read handwriting and we may have put it in wrong.

We also have an ad coming out in all the Neighborhood Newspapers. They had an awesome deal for Mother's day and we took advantage or it! We are also discussing an ad in the Urban Tulsa. Tulsa World is a bit more than we can afford at the moment, but we have also checked into Billboards.

I am also making flyers for our grand opening. I will take some to the flea market, and hopefully hand some out at Rooster Days in Broken Arrow. I think the kids can go around to the neighborhoods too. Any more ideas for bringing more people in?

Starting to shape up

Well I have been so busy in the last week plus that I've barely watched TV and haven't been on my computer. We had our first sale on Tuesday. We have had people come in every day to check us out. But we have been very topsy turvy! Today I can finally see hope in getting all our product up on shelves. It has taken so long to check it all in, set up shelves and tables, put all the product by the shelf they will go on, sorting through it all, unpacking the display items, whew!! And of course tagging everything. I still have alot to do, but I think I have passed the middle point. We did get our security installed and got our insurance quote. Our business cards are being printed. We installed pegboard on the wall. Janna super cleaned the bathroom. And we keep filling up the trash can with empty boxes. I still have not gone through my lucky bamboo. I need to finish getting fairies on the shelves, and we have the wall items and knives/swords. Once I get the sales floor done, I have to rearrange the back room. We did get a refrigerator back there for food, since we will almost be living there!

I go home late at night sore and tired. I haven't had much trouble sleeping! I guess I'm too tired to worry about much! Alan is having his usual panics, but thats normal for him! I need more tables. I'm getting to the point where I have space to put things but need a table to set it on!

We have some awesome new products! If you do get a chance, stop by and see us! Not only could we use the company, but we could use some sales to pay the bills! lol! Please do stop by and tell your friends! Have a great day!
