we now have the most gorgeous wall of colour in the shop! it's all due to one of our key brands and we'd always planned that the shades and hues would co-ordinate but i couldn't have imagined how well. WOW!! yes, it deserves an undeserved double exclamation mark.
as soon as i'd got the colour wall about sorted, our next delivery arrived... it is amazing the power that a bunch of brown boxes can hold over one.i had a reasonable idea what they contained but the excitement in slitting the tape and unveiling a plethora of new colours, shades, patterns, designs... yup, it's just like christmas, it really is!
so we're happier - definitely. we've got confirmation of all the other orders and we can really see the light at the end of what seemed like a very dark tunnel. when we had the UP of pre-xmas it was very hard to take the weeks (and weeks) of mid-winter consumer gloom in small-town cupar. it's still not fab but just putting a couple of new manequins in the window this afternoon got 3 or 4 people into the shop.
we indeniably need the webstore but it is heartening to see some of our regulars reappearing and still new customers discovering our oasis of funky! 2 more weeks of hard work, nailing down the webstore, getting the marketing programs sorted and if we're not buzzing by early april, i'll be one p!ssed off puppy ;-)
