Not they always come to fruition but it i think its a great time to take stock of the past & make a plan for the future. So here are Polka Dots 2010 resolutions.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;">Be realistic. Adjust</span>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The recession was nasty. While the website & party problem did not feel the effects, the storefront did. Forcing us to downsize. Things will never be the way they were before. They have improved but buying habits are different. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>2. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;">Blog more.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Bringing back wedding wednesday and totaling 3 new posts per week.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>3. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;">Grow.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Grow as a person, grow the website, grow the party program & grow the storefront sales. This is a big goal and because I will also be realistic (resolution#1) about what can be accomplished. I wont go into details of this is will happen. But being diligent, adjusting to circumstances (both in personal life & business) I am confident this can happen.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Wishing you...</div><div> a safe & fabulous New Years Eve | a happy, heathly <b>2010</b> | good luck on your resolutions</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6666;">-k</span></div>Polka Dots Stationery & Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771855114510600834noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200124342684823583.post-56059339208873535642009-12-29T20:00:00.000-05:002009-12-31T08:09:49.286-05:00i bailed...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji0B9S33lDz6U_neU0UD9U-YjaAYGftNNSJFKqgG_aqaDHzp4m2_fHu-sAx8Ogfora1nMheyHXwp7zbOsPKI7GO3Q2tlmrCPntT1jny-DVmnLcgxrRzrQXnk8QqEQJIq324xiToo3GuVs/s1600-h/connect1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 365px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji0B9S33lDz6U_neU0UD9U-YjaAYGftNNSJFKqgG_aqaDHzp4m2_fHu-sAx8Ogfora1nMheyHXwp7zbOsPKI7GO3Q2tlmrCPntT1jny-DVmnLcgxrRzrQXnk8QqEQJIq324xiToo3GuVs/s400/connect1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421386559143214146" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>It's been a month since I've blogged.

It's too early." This has been the most common sentence & twitter post I have seen within the last week.<br /></div><br /><div>No, it's not too early. Christmas in July: yes to early: but now in late October- no it is not too early. Being a small business owner in the retail, let me explain...<br /></div><div>1- You need to be told when to shop. Yes, really you do. Anything custom takes time. If you dont' order it by mid-November - there is a good chance, you aren't getting that special monogrammed gift for neice Suzy. So planting the Christmas seed early, as a reminder, is a good thing. {You know you wait till last minute}<br /></div><div>2- Christmas is a big deal. It takes a lot of manpower & money to set up holiday displays. Gotta make the most of it.<br /></div><div>3- <em>We gotta this sell stuff.</em> That means all the Christmas trees, gingerbread houses and red & green stuff needs to be sold. Retailers can not afford to sit on Christmas inventory. So by displaying it an extra month early- it helps customers start thinking in that direction & gives us more time to move that inventory.<br /></div><div>4- Retailers depend on holiday sales to either make or break the year. {esp. this year} That means selling a large volume of goods in just a few months. With all the choices consumers have, it allows you see the options available & then when the time is right for you personally- you can buy that santa snowglobe for your lawn :)<br /></div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">{and btw- you can expect to start seeing those blast emails for christmas}</span></div><br /><div>-k<br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div>Polka Dots Stationery & Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771855114510600834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200124342684823583.post-71913604028955403762009-10-07T20:54:00.002-04:002009-10-07T21:08:35.388-04:00I promise i'll try harder this time!I did it again.
