Our new store was closed yesterday due to a fundraiser for United Way.  Apparently closing the store and a big green sign that said "Christmas show at Healthsouth" and the fact that all of our inventory was missing generated interest in the store.  Part of the interest was from other merchants, wondering if we had closed.  Those who drove by last night did not see any inventory & today when their co-workers drove by they commented "everything looks normal."  It has been an interesting 24 hours, even though this wasn't traditional marketing.  Enjoyed the class!

I would like to go over a new form of advertising that we will be trying.  This is in the form of group text informing of a 24 hour sale or a special gift just for coming in.  Also we will be offering a birthday club for our customers to sign up for.  The web site is up but there are only a few items posted, we are still working on that.  We will also be offering classes in jewelry making and painting after Christmas!  Merry Christmas!
Just wanted to touch base on the new boutique.  My business partner and I have been very blessed in this new business.  We've met some great people (including our instructor).  The business is in a prime location & we also have ample space for a widow display.  Social Media and word of mouth have played a crucial role in our success.  Stop in and see us -428 Broad Street, Gadsden, AL  35902.
