I like October, its starting to get wintery and a good excuse to snuggle up with the curtains drawn. The organised people are starting Christmas shopping but people are also starting to think about Christmas and saving too. However sales in October have been steady and I have spent a lot of time getting ready for the Christmas period.
There is a lot to do to get ready for the peak season, thinking about stock, packaging, storage, up keep of online stores and planning my personal bits and pieces now so I don't run around like a headless turkey!
Last Christmas was busy, busy, busy but things are slicker now so I should be able to keep control. I am always learning and stock control is proving difficult to master... back orders seem to vanish mysteriously and delivery times are taking longer than I expected... But I have good stock levels and am almost ready for November!
The website www.notajewellerybox.co.uk has some new products such as the mannequin above. And the Little Book of Earrings is now in stock in Purple and Green, which are proving to be popular. We will also soon be able to take cards without having to use paypal which is great to be able to offer an alternative at checkout.
Have a Great Christmas and I'll post an update of whats happening in the New Year
