Since I hadn't been trained in design, I went into the business not knowing the 'rules'. I just did what I thought looked good and did lots of designs with a natural look. |
The people in the group were so knowledgeable and eager to share information or mentor each other. I learned so much about how to run my business from this group. |
We've been overwhelmed by the wonderful response we've received at our new locations. It's really been surprising to see how many people have just stopped by and left with our merchandise. We sold out of holiday items very quickly. |
We've really tried to maintain integrity in our business relationships. Keeping customers satisfied brings referrals and that is where at least 75 percent of our business comes from. The wedding business has been a big boost for us. I love doing weddings and soon discovered that not many businesses are doing weddings anymore because they require handling so many details. But we love doing it, and it's been a vital part of our business. |
