Your booths look great which in turn makes the store look great! All of you are very helpful and friendly to the customers. All of these things help project the image we want to show to the public. Please keep up the good work!
AAAHHHH!!!!! The Name tags have grown legs again!! Please, if you have one (or two) at home, bring them back to be with their best friends!!! (We only have 1 tag left of the 12 we purchased at $6.75 each.)
We are discontinuing the customer appreciation basket for a while. Thank you to all of you that donated items. Our customers appreciated the thoughtfulness. We will let it go for a while and maybe start it up again.
WELCOME!!! We have several new vendors in the store and of course the musical booths are happening again! If you see some one new to you, chances are they are new to the store and could use a welcoming smile and hello!!!
Fellow vendor, Vada Monroe #46, sends out a great big “Thank you” to all of you that donated to the fund for her Great-grandson Calvin Blevins!!! We collected over $100 and that was matched by another local business.
Reminders:
• Rent is due on the 1st of the month, payable up to the 10th and late with a $10 late fee after that date
• 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!!
• Please do not leave any more bags or boxes of newspaper wrapping, we have enough for now!!! In fact we have an overabundance!!
Scott’s Thoughts: Thanks to all of the vendors for the great help while Bonnie was gone for 10 days to Vermont. I could not have made it without you. Thanks to Kathy and Carol who even filled in for me a couple of times so I didn’t go in to withdrawal from fishing.
Fishing, fishing, fishing!!! Lots of fishing!! If you can’t tell, my new retirement boat has been in the water 24 different times. . I am still looking for fishing companions (men, women, children or any combo of) so if you like to fish, please let Bonnie or I know and we will “hook up” for a fishing trip..
Again, thanks for helping make Keeper’s Corner such as success.
