By the time you read this Scott and I will be in Utah, or near enough!!!! You will notice some new faces at the front counter. Billie, Carol, Cora, and Linda (in alphabetical order!!) These four ladies have been “tried and true” front counter help at Crafters Market. I really appreciate them stepping out of their comfort zones and taking care of the store so that Scott and I can go visit family. Please give them the same respect and help you give us, and remember it is because of vendors like them that this store is a success. Thank you all and one!
Toward the middle of July we will be changing the front displays. The one nearest the sales area will be “Fun in the Sun”. Pretty broad, but that allows us a lot of items to choose from. The large window display will be a kitchen scene. If you have items you think may fit the themes, please contact Bonnie, Scott or any of the above mentioned management team.
We will be having another parking lot sale on the first Saturday of July and the first Saturday of August. If you want to participate, please let us know!! We have a sign up sheet on the counter. No charge for this!! It is a good way to get rid of unwanted items.
Thank you to all of you who make the time and effort to keep the store looking and feeling great. We still get many compliments on the booth displays, the quality and
variety of items, and the courteous vendors working here in the store. You are a great team of vendors.
In the last newsletter we asked if there was interest in a potluck bar-b-que. Most of you have expressed an interest. So we have set a tentative date of August 17, 2007 6:30 PM. We will reserve either Crest Park or part of Wiard Park. Will let you know as soon as the arrangements are made. We will more than likely close the store at 5 that day so all of us can get where we need to be. I’m excited!!!!
Thank you for all of your donations for the “Customer Appreciation” gift basket drawing. We have been able to give a wonderful gift for each month.
Still missing nametags!!! Please return, I promise you will not get your name in the newsletter, nor will I give you a kiss!!!! We need them!
Reminders:
• Check the “Want List” from customers.
• Check the bulletin board for other information
• Correct tags are money in your pocket!!!! Check the till for no ID tags
• Missing items? Check the back of the sales area for a memo on where to look and who to see!!!
Scott’s Thoughts: School is out for the summer and I hope to be in the store a lot more. I had the honor of, along with several great ladies to fill in for Bonnie for a few days while she had some surgery. She is now doing great. It was an enjoyable experience with the customers and vendors.
Check out the booth numbers on the booths. We also have an index to help customers and vendors fine the various booths. I thought that it would take a few hours to do this and ended up taking several days. Check them out and let us know of any mistakes.
As always I would like to thank all the vendors and customers. I always feel very positive about KC and all those involved. If there is ever anything I can help you with, please let me know.
