Well it seems Sept started off very hot here in PA, which is unexpected for us. We usually have cooler days and very cool nights by this time. It is a pleasure though for me to still be able to enjoy the warm hot days cause soon the long and cold winter will be upon us.
This is a time now to start getting ready for the holidays which are just around the corner. So are you all getting ready? If so what are you doing to make this a good selling time for you. I know listing more is important, getting your links out there are important, sending your buyers newsletters are important, but you tell me what is the most important part of our business to bring in the customer to buy our goods when everyone else just about has the same goods.
Do you think lower prices, free shipping, or even adding free gifts are a good idea? Why not share what you do and what works for you so that others can learn also. I already gave my ideas and there are a lot of options out there; for instance here is one more; swap business cards and flyers to help promote each other, also if you don't have the item and you know that someone else has it, tell the buyer and give the buyer the webstore that has it.
Hope I got your brain working and hopefully you all will share. Have a blessed day and enjoy the season cause soon it will be cold. brrrrrrrrrrr!

Hello My Friend
I am on the road, traveling in Oregon.. I have to share that yes..sales are brisk and the outlook for this Christmas selling season looks terrific.
Today, when we ventured into our favorite Antique Mall in Grants Pass Oregon, "Old Town Antique Mall"...it was bustling...shoppers everywhere in the store and the 3 and 4 staff members on the floor were busy with cases and keys.
The owner, Janice shared that business in August was robust to say the least, best in a long time and September was jogging right along.
I'm encouraged. Please share my comments and read my blog. Starting tomorrow, I will be posting pictures and links to our shopping experience in beautiful Oregon USA...
Thanks for join my blog hop" Follow Me Monday",I'm your follower.:-)
