One Month Store Update!

 Hey Y'all!

I can't believe it's been a month already!

I shared my Jan/Feb set up in the previous blog. I forgot to take pics in the other areas of the store, it's all set up with winter/Valentine's items.

Some things she's implemented/shared:

The building sign is now up (today). The roadside sign has been up, but I've not taken a picture of it, they're very similar.

A 10% off Military discount.

Every Wednesday their is a 10% discount store wide, and she shares a picture of a vendors items with the "reminder" on social media each Tuesday evening.

She's also sharing on social media about each vendor, and their items, almost hourly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (Mine was on Dec 30th.)

The local newspaper is coming out this week and doing a story, and she's got a radio spot coming soon. 

On my end I see that she's doing all she can to drive traffic to the store, and us as vendors. A few times she has referred people to me directly to create something for them. It's a new venture for all of us, and it's been very slow going. I've made a few sales through the store, but it's not profitable yet for me, to be frank I'm in the negative as far as the store goes (with rent and her commission, etc). I don't know about other vendors, I've not met any of them. That said, it has only been a month. I'm contracted to stay through February, and I guess I'll evaluate what's happening and my plans going forward closer to that date. Currently I really don't know what my plans are.

If you're local come check the store out! If not I'm on all social media (@craftinwife on most platforms), and have a FB page.

Have a great day,
