I hope you had a lovely Christmas, however you celebrate. As we all prepare for a new year to start, I thought it might be nice to talk a little about plans for 2023.
The year starts with a visit to a local trade fair which I’m really excited about as we haven’t been for a couple of years I think? Certainly we didn’t go this year, so it will be nice to search out some new potential suppliers and to see what our current suppliers have planned. I’m hoping to stock a variation of the nesting snowmen as they proved popular, and maybe some more mini snow globes too?
Bigger plans for this year are to find more markets for our stall, perhaps attend Beverley this year and maybe even Lincoln (if we can get offered a space that is). I’m going to be working hard to improve the website too, as those sales really keep us ticking over between markets. I know I need better descriptions and images so that’s the focus.
I’m also changing up our system at our ‘base’ (aka the dining room) so that we can manage orders more efficiently. If my aim is for ten orders a day to come through online, I need a way to get them processed and out next day as usual.
We have a 20% off sale running right now so that I can implement the new system, so if you had money put aside for January sales hop over to the shop to take a look.
Here’s to a happy and healthy new year for you all.
