It's looking like I'm on track to have a record breaking first and second quarter. Granted, that's not hard given that I'm normally quiet as a church mouse those two quarters, but this year in addition to the bigger Valentine's order that shipped the first week of January (and for which I should be getting a check in the next ten days), I also got a decent size order for another componant of my favorite BIG company that is supposed to ship in about three weeks.
I'm ecstatic I got this new order. It's not for a ton of money but the timing is perfect in that what they want can be completed in the time they want and - this is the part I love the most - they want it shipped the week before I'm supposed to leave for a little Mexico vacation. I'm heading down there with my parents who basically flipped houses with someone so it's only costing me ~$300 for the airfare and that's it. $300 for a little sun, sand, and margaritas. Well, ok, maybe more like $350 after the margaritas are accounted for.
Back to business - when talking to this componant of BIG company the buyer mentioned that they've been really happy with the products of mine they've brought on before and want to know what else I have that they might be interested in. This is exactly what I was hoping for and told her that I'll be showcasing some new stuff in the next month or two so she can take a look and see what we have. I'm hoping - hoping - that this means I'll get another 'outside holiday season' sale from them and then perhaps a bigger holiday sale order.
So I raise my glass of morning juice to what will hopefully be a record breaking first and second quarter and may that hopefully just foreshadow good things to come in third and fourth quarter!
