January 2008. What happened to 2007? How come I didn't get done half of what I intended to do? I've come to the conclusion that to be in retail is to be overwhelmed. We prioritize with a vengeance. It means living with lists. It means snips of paper that I stick in my pockets when I remember something I need to do because if I wait to add the thought to my list I will have forgotten what the thought was by the time I find the list again.
I worry about the number of CRAFT members who haven't taken advantage of all the wonderful cost saving programs we offer. And I think it's just because we are overwhelmed. We have so much to do that we don't make time to take advantage of the things that are in our own best interest. I do the same thing. Even though I use Constant Contact, I haven't signed up for the part that saves me money! Duh?? It's on my list. It's been on my list for 6 months. Well, I'll get there 'cause it's on the list.
So, starting with this issue and in every future issue, we're going to list the names, phone numbers, and emails of every contact for every program that will save you time and money. Add them to your list. One of these months you and I will do everything we can to save money and improve our businesses!
See you at the Shows! - Karen Hohler HohAssoc@aol.com
