Fair's Over - What's Next?

Well, I can’t say I’m unhappy about the fair being over.  It is great for business, and does what it is intended to do.  But a week of long hours, child care, sore feet, and sitting in traffic takes its toll (I know some of you might do this every day so I’m sorry for whinging).

Now it’s full steam into preparations for the shop.  We’ll be getting the sign writers in (Signwaves in South Melbourne  who are fantastic at working with my short lead times), more marketing material, staff schedules, and waiting for stock to arrive so we can start pricing it.
We order stock so long ago it is hard to remember what’s coming.  I took a few photos from one of our suppliers when placing the orders in February (see attached).  Went out to see a few new items they had arrived and couldn’t resist.  My key focus is getting the shop fittings right so everything fits in the store nicely.

Anyone have any suggestions, or have seen beautifully displayed Christmas products, I would love to hear from you.
That’s it for now.

Cheers

Chrissie
