My desire, is to inspire women in business to aspire to be the best that they can, in all aspects of their lives. Itiel
Indie women in business have a tendency to have back-to-back, deep discounted sales. Although not intentional (hopefully), this is desperate mode. Crystal Washington says it best here. Some Indies covet the mass retailers' consumers, not realizing that they have their own special group of consumers, that enjoy one-of-a-kind items and quality. "Shouldn't I help my customers (present and future) save money?" Of course! However, remember to always strive for quality not quantity. Sit down and come up with ways to help your customers to save money. Remember, you are in business to make money. Your profit and inventory should have a balance.
Quality products and superb customer service are the two fundamentals that should bring you continuous sales. Think about shopping at one of your favorite stores. Why do you shop there? When I shop at one of my favorite stores, the shop owner sometimes gives me a 10% discount. I don't expect it at all, but I am always thankful.
Mistakes are made, but they can be corrected. I've made mistakes like this, but soon realized that I was hurting my business. Make new mistakes. ;)
