Apparently it's beginning to look a lot like Valentine's Day. I got an order yesterday from BIGGER company for a good amount of Valentine's Day product so now I'm back in my workspace, busy as ever, working on Valentine product while listening to Christmas carols.
I'm really happy the order came through though. It was from the BIGGER company whose holiday order got screwed up so the fact that they placed another order with me makes me believe I didn't completely screw up the relationship. Hopefully this will set me up well for future orders with them. Plus this will be the first time I book revenue of this amount this early in the year. One of my goals has been to stretch out my revenue a little bit more since right now basically 7/8th of it comes in the 4th quarter. If I can get a little going first quarter and perhaps some more in 3rd quarter it will help cashflow substantially.
It's going to be tight to get the order done and all the packaging ordered in with the holidays next week. But I'm fairly confident that even with my 5 day vacation next week I'll have the order ready to ship on or before Jan 8th. Course I may be spending New Years Eve packaging up a storm but such is the life of a small business owner, right?
