Thanks Jola!
Ashley - thank you - it is such a relief to finally be out there doing it!!! I bought the Cash Register from Staples for $199 and it is worth it's weight on gold. I have to re-program it tomorrow because it lost it's memory (stupid machine) but it caluclates the tax, discounts, I have 8 departments on it so I can break out the different categories and track what is selling better. With my Grand Opening I am giving 10% discount to everyone. PLUS I have a draw for a "Diva on a Dime" Gift Basket. People seem to really like the product and I had a couple of people buy from me that have never tried hand-crafted soap before but like how it looks, feels as well as the ingredients.
I had someone ask me if I carried Patcholi and then asked me if I would be willing to make some because it's his favourite scent - so I promised to buy some on my next order.
I like that people are willing to let you know what they would like so if you listen you can earn their business. I even had my competition check me out! And people recognized me from the interviews as well as seeing my ads.....
Okay so I might be a little excited..... :?
