Extra Stock on order!





Well things are going well. The Babyshow is 3 weeks on Friday which is all feeling a bit soonish! Having had a bit of a panic that I don't have enough stock I have been ringing round my suppliers and I'm taking some additional bits and pieces. I have a range of very cute kids clothes coming in made by Lipfish (thank you Magical Playtimes!) and some additional toys.




I've also ordered more of the sleeping bags I featured in my last post so fingers crossed they go down well too. I just need to get some more toddler bedding ordered in as I seem to have had a run on it lately (which is of course good news).



Other preparation is steaming ahead. I have ordered another 5,000 flyers today. Having previously ordered A5, we realised that the A6 ones we had for the competition are just as nice so have saved a few pennies and gone for the smaller ones. I hope the images look just as good on the smaller scale.



I've started hanging the bedding on the rail. We did the LittleOnes fair in Wigan a couple of months ago and left the bedding in the packets. This time round we are going for a different approach and I want to get the actual product out in front of people so we have bought a rail. Hopefully if we can play on the tactile side of things and get people to see the full thing we can pull off some more sales. I also have a bid on a 'martian' mannequin on ebay but we'll have to see how that goes - we can't afford the full rrp for one of those even though it would look fab for displaying the clothes.
