I made the decision that I am going to start closing on Monday. Many businesses are closed on Monday downtown. It gives me one full day away from the sweet shop. A day to make appointments and run errands.
As soon as I make the decision, post it on my page, you know I will have my all time best Monday. I have already had a few customers. I have been open half days on Monday. It is a good time to do book work. Do some banking. That said, I can just as easily do it from home and have a day off.
Tomorrow I am having my first special at Coco's. I ordered too much fudge for the fall festival. Need to get it sold. Having a buy a pound of fudge, get $2.00 off special. Hope it brings in some sales.
I have great friends. I have received a few good marketing ideas from my friends. It is nice to have friends that care and will send suggestions to help my business. It is also fun knowing that I have the final say in what decisions are made in my shop. It is great to run my own business and terrifying at the same time. All blame lies on my shoulders if things do not work. (Like closing on Monday.)
I had a banner made to hang during the festival and for a time after to draw additional business to the sweet shop. I think it was pulling some people from the train station. Banners really stand out. Unfortunately, banners are also susceptible to bad winds. The banner did not blow away. It did blow back onto the flat part of the roof where it cannot be seen. Hope it is not completely torn to pieces.
Looking forward to a relaxing afternoon. It is a beautiful fall day. Hope you all can enjoy some outdoor time today too.
