First Month of New Store!
Hey…so I havent kept up with this blog. I keep forgetting I have it – versus my Blogspot one.
Our first month was successful – we had a lot of sales, met new clients and had steady traffic.
September was different – the weather SUCKED! We had an EARTHQUAKE and HURRICANE in one week, for example. Nearly every weekend resulted in rain. Fortunately – we participated in our 3rd event, The Fall Festival. We acquired new customers and sold a bunch of things! IT was great to have my artists want to participate.
It’s kind of a bummer realizing not ALL my artists are actively in this store. 50% of them are constantly calling or texting or emailing — if not Facebooking or popping in here for events or just casually. Then 50% of them – ignore every email and dont even respond to their payment email. It’s strange for me. But then again – you get what you put in. Which is why I charge my artists monthly.
For me – I made this store for others. Not to make money. Cause at the end of the day – its consignment. So im loosing money essentially. But I dont mind – because I want others to see how TALENTED people really are! But – as most things go in life – its not appreciated. People dont put into consideration the fact that my TIME is put into the shop – daily [or when open], all my savings and earnings go right to the shop [bills/decoration/furniture], ALL OF ME is this store.
I am proud of how the shop looks! Its beautiful.
