New!!! Wall space for rent! They are a great place to sell pictures and flat items. There are some extra guidelines for these spaces. Contact management for more details.
Here comes the bus!! On Saturday, April 26 we have the honor of having a bus come over from Medford with 28 members and antique dealers from the Southern Oregon Antiques and Collectible Club. They will be in the store most of the afternoon. Make sure your booths are dressed up and ready to go. The secret is out and they want to see what we are all about.
Keeper’s Corner was the recipient of some jewelry risers and displays. They are available for you to use in the store.
Reminder about work time: you are the eyes for everyone else in the store when you are working. Workers need to be aware of who is in the store, where the customers are, and what is going on. And remember that although the computer is here for your use; please don’t spend a lot of time on it while you are doing your shift.
We have several new vendors in the store. We welcome you and hope your experience here is a great one.
A big THANK YOU to all of you who do a lot of the “extras” in the store. Several of you vacuum, dust and wash windows without being asked. Customers remark how clean and pleasant smelling the store is.
We will be having the “Anniversary Sale” on Saturday, May 3, 2008. This will be after most paydays, but before Mother’s Day. It will be 20% off all items in the store. As before, Keeper’s Corner will absorb 10% of the sale price. An information sheet concerning the sale is available.
Reminders:
• Correct tags are money in your pocket!!!! Check the till for no ID/wrong ID tags
• A thirty day written notice is required when you are vacating your booth at the end of the month. This applies when you are leaving after your initial six months OR at any other time after your 6 month commitment is over
• Please check at home for Keeper’s Corner name tags and return if you have one (or two)
Scott’s Thoughts: Brag time, brag time, brag time! Wow! Have you vendors got the store moving? Just a little bragging about all of you and “your” store. January 2007 sales were $10,005.09… January 2008 sales were $16,046.20 (up over $6,000). February 2007 sales were $10,573.96… February 2008 sales were $15,730.66 (up over $5,000). March 2007 sales were $14,792.78… March 2008 sales were $19,727.98 (up about $5,000). What a great job you have done. Keep it up and the sky is the limit. Again, thanks to all of you for doing such a great job here at “your store” Keeper’s Corner. Scott
