Welcome to all of the new vendors!! We hope your experience here is a great one.
We still receive many compliments on the store. Customers remark how clean it is, how nice the booths are arranged, and how good it smells. Thank you for doing your share in keeping the store a great place to shop. Remember: there is a vacuum, broom and dustpan, “windex” and rags for your cleaning convenience.
This is the time of year foot traffic and sales really jump! (As you can see from our months totals) It is a very good time for you to clean and straighten those booths, get them restocked and refreshed for the holiday shoppers!
Christmas Sale…Christmas Sale… Christmas Sale! Everything is going to be 20% off. We are going to have a “2 hour” Christmas Sale on Friday, December 14, 2007. It will be between 7 PM and 9 PM. The Vendor will cover 10% of the 20% off and Keeper’s Corner LLC will cover the other 10%. You will have a total of 22% taken off of your sales. If you have items you don’t want to sell at this time you must remove them from the store or put them in the rear “common” area before 5 PM that day. We will have light refreshments for the customers and vendors. Many of you have asked… and yes we are taking donations of refreshments (cookies, cheese, crackers, meat trays etc.) so if you would to bring something please let us know. We will be really busy and will need some extra time from the vendors for this sale. Please let us know if you can help us out.
Just another reminder to all of you, that you are renting the “INSIDE CONFINES” of the booths. PLEASE, if you have items spilling over into the aisles; rearrange your booths so that the items are within the depth of your booth. Items are not to be hung on the outside of end caps on the booths. Thank you!
Oh, tags, tags, tags!!!!! Just a REMINDER that your tags need to be filled out correctly!!! Your VENDOR NUMBER on the TOP of the tag, a BRIEF description of the item and then the PRICE on the BOTTOM of the tag. Any tags not meeting these criteria will be put on the till for you to claim them before they are posted to your account.
Also as a reminder, if you have a whole booth discount sale in your booth, make sure you let the front staff know when you take it off, so it can be removed from the list. You may have discounts taken after your sale goes off if you neglect to let us know!!!
Reminders:
• The holidays are fast approaching, make sure you are ready with decorations
and gift items
• Correct tags are money in your pocket!!!! Check the till for no ID/wrong ID tags
• Missing items? Check the back of the sales area for a memo on where to look and who to see!!!
• We do have a “finder’s fee” as a reward for your help in finding new vendors
Scott’s Thoughts: Already the season of cold weather is upon us and we are about to enter into the holiday season. Are you ready for all of the great sales? Keep your booths full because we are coming into the busy time of the year.
The time of my last year of teaching is rapidly going by. We just entered the second quarter of the school year and I wonder where the time has gone. It won’t be long until I am down here at the store “milking the cows at the dairy”. I refer to the store a “the dairy” because we need to take care of it every day.
I would like to again thank all of the great vendors. I really enjoy the time I get to be in the store. Soon it will be time for me to be here almost all of time.
See you around the store.
Scott
