Hi Laura,
I know what you mean about being excited about people walking in. I opened this store on May 12th and I have had more walkin's that I ever did in the 5 months at the other location. I was so discouraged in the other spot. I really thought I might have made a mistake going into this, but knew deep down, that there was a need for it.
I too have been doing a lot of marble and granite plaques for people, and have discovered that Pet's have become a big part of my business. I am thinking now of doing dog shows along with the wedding shows. Can't hurt to try it right!!
I advertise in a local Vet's office also. I am trying to get involved with the local humane society also.
I called them but haven't heard back from them, so I am going to go there on a Sunday afternoon. I just found out that they open for a few hours on Sunday. I hope someone who is in charge will be there, but I am going to make up something in marble and leave it with them.
I also found out about an auction that they are having, so I am going to donate some certificates. Hopefully, that will get some more attention.
I love my new store, and when I get a chance I will send you some pictures of it also.
I also got invlolved with a company that puts laser photos on gold and silver, and they do the work, and it's guaranteed for 90 days, so I sold one today, and am thrilled about it. They are beautiful keepsakes and right in line with what I am doing here.
Yes, lets keep in touch, maybe we can help each other when necessary.
I just love this forum, when I am in a pinch I know I have friends that will help me out.
Barbara
