As the winter show season is starting to wrap up, I think we can honestly say that 2010 is starting out on the right foot.
All of the shows have been very upbeat, with customers ready to buy new products. We did not hear the discouragement that we did last year.
I think everyone who made it through 2009 learned an awful lot. We learned how to operate leaner and be creative. I know it was certainly a challenging year to get through, but we can all be very proud that we have come out of it stronger and smarter!
Make this year your year to shine. Give your store a makeover! You do not need to spend a fortune, just get some new colors, take a look at your displays and decide what you can do to spruce them up: paint them, add a some new hardware, etc.
Do you have some pieces in your back room that can add interest to your display? Pull that stuff out and play with them. Show everything to your employees and have a contest for them to create displays. Your employees have great ideas if given the opportunity to share them.
Have fun, and enjoy opening all of those new Blossom Bucket pieces! We know you love our product, but when you see those boxes come in there is always a bit of, “Oh no, we have to unwrap all those pieces!”
Thank you so much for your orders at the shows, on the internet and through your sales reps! We really appreciate your business and we wish you a great 2010!
