We all know that gas and grocery prices as well as many other things are going up, up and up!!! Our sales in the store are going up also. I think the customers recognize that they can get a great product at reasonable prices and they are still shopping with us!! The tourist traffic has increased and that translates to increased sales for you. Keep your booths well stocked, straightened and accessible for the best foot traffic and sales.
JUST A REMINDER!!! Please keep your items with in the parameters of your booth. If you are renting a 4 foot deep booth, don’t place items outside of the four foot depth of your space. We have to have 48” as walkways according to code enforcement. Thank you!!!
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. There is a list on the bulletin board of things we need help with while you are here.
If you have some items, whether for sale or not, that are in the back area near the Christmas room, please remove them from the store or find a place for them in your booths. That area is looking kind of shabby and I don’t mean shabby chic’!!!
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.
Reminders:
• PLEASE take a few minutes and vacuum your space(s) and the walk way in front of your area. Several booths are in need of a good vacuum job
• Lots more merchandise in the no tag/no ID area, please check it out!!!
• 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
• Ask the management about the “Finders Fee” bonus!!
The store looks great! We have had many new customers in the store the last couple of weeks and they are very impressed with your store. We continue to advertise in the “Old Stuff” newspaper, the Herald and News, the Nickel, People Power, and have fliers at the Chamber of Commerce, and Travel Klamath to name a few. The very best form of advertising is “word of mouth,” and we want it to be “positive things” people are saying!!!!! So please, keep up the good work in and around the store. Thank you!
