No People Magazine. I knew it was too good to be true. I knew it was a long shot - one hell of a long shot. But I can't lie, I am a little bummed. Not sure if I'm more bummed about the fact that I spent $100+ to have samples overnighted to them (per their request) or the fact that we're not featured. I know it was a long shot but it would have been so nice. So very very nice. Oh well, try again next year, right?
This weekend has been a good reminder that I do need to spend more time and energy focusing on the retail part of my business. I've built and am continuing to build up a good wholesale base though this next year is going to be hell on wheels for wholesale I'm guessing with many stores having credit and other financial issues. I'll definitely keep focusing on wholesale (both big and little stores) but since I have a retail componant on my site I might as well see what sort of traction I can get from it. Lots of ideas that I need to write down into a marketing plan which is something I'm hoping to actually get to before 2009. Then again, now that the People Magazine thing didn't come through I can probably stop working so hard in my workspace and spend more time on things like that marketing plan. ....SIGH... Ok, onto bigger and better things.
