early spring problems.....

this is always a hard time of year.... we have tons of warm weather product coming in....and jan and feb are usually our slowest months.....
so it takes a lot of money and optimism to make the big orders like we have....coming this week...3 pallets of iron and later this month a full load of garden iron....
i hate to do a lot of credit......but cant really avoid it right now...

my job now should be to work on the marketing for all this garden product thats coming in....that would be...

#figuring out good recurring ads in 3 or 4 places and a good email plan to customers...

#figuring out the best layout....involving, gazing balls, fountains, chimes, birdhouses, patio iron, outside garden iron etc etc etc....

the weather hasnt been our friend this year....but lots of time to work on all kinds of projects....and some good sales.... but freezing rain and heavy snow have cost us!!!

i rarely consider cancelling orders....i think it would really look unprofessional...and yes you could do it..but what kind of service would you get from the company next time?
we dont do layaways but its kind of like backing out of a layaway imho...
