Day 12.
One thing is for sure: you (I) can never predict how the day (sales) is going to be. Assuming today was going to be a slow day since it’s a Monday, I brought a book and tons of snacks. I was wrong. The traffic flow was pretty constant. There were less “browsers” and more “shoppers”.
Since I am (kinda) getting the hang of multi tasking, I was able to carry on nice conversations with my customers while processing their credit cards, writing receipts… so there was no awkward silence while they waited (impressive). I was pleasantly surprised with customers coming back (to the booth) to let me know that their Postcup customizations came out great! Jonathan came back with another dog today: Lucy, a gorgeous rhodesian ridgeback who was very interested in the new Postcups. She probably thought there was soup inside – it’s large enough! (The large mug version available at the market only – for now.)
This week I’ll be firing more porcelain pieces for the market as I am almost sold out of this batch of mugs. I hope to be able to produce enough for my online shop as well. There’s another batch of Useful Towels getting printed this week as those are also practically sold out… As you may have noticed, I have yet to figure out this thing called: inventory.
Thank you dear friends for stopping by today.
