New Stock In

Well the textiles from Germany have arrived and they are georgous!

I'm really pleased with them and hopefully they will go down really well at the NEC show in May (although it would be nice if I could sell a few before then!!).

Planning for the show continues... I've been doing a bit of market research and looks like my target audience are looking for a bit of a discount at the show or special offers so we are going to have to work out a way to incorporate this. I already have flyers with a 10% discount off a first online purchase so hopefully this will work too.

I'm off to Ikea tomorrow for some more shelving for the stand. If you can't beat em join em! All of the quotes I've had from the stand specialist companies require another mortgage so we're going for good quality that we can re-use at our next show. There seems very little point paying the same or more for stuff we will have to give back.

I'm also looking at getting some more graphics printed off for the walls to include getting the website address out there a bit more on the stand. Currently I have a fab banner stand that I got from ebay and the company name is on the fascia. I feel that we need a couple more well placed graphics of bedroom settings to help to sell the products.

My other little project is to upgrade the images on my website. To further this I am just waiting on delivery of a light tent to improve the pictures. I want to try to cut out a lot of the background and hence get a better quality image. As we are quite restricted on photosize due to the package we bought initially for the website, this is vital.

Anyway, enough for now... this is turning into a to do list!
