Just getting started

Hi Friends-Family-Clients-Customers-Mothers, etc!

I've just been introduced to the world of blogging as an avenue to generate more business and spread the word about Andy & Eve: Luxury Children's Resale.

Let's call this my first approach at blogging about business.

Thus far, it seems quite simple, which scares me... am I doing it right? I would welcome any and all advice regarding blogging for business.

I am very excited to report that we have the date set for our next Open House. These open house events have been very fun to attend.

Here's the information sent out to my current client list...

Hi Friends,

I'm thrilled to report that after the addendum to this lead legislation, It looks like my clothing resale business will be okay. I may be making some minor adjustments to the store, but all in all, I hope to have a long and successful relationship with all of you! Thanks to all of you for your continued support and speaking out about the law.

That being said, many of you have asked when I will be again purchasing clothing. I will again be looking to restock beginning February 10th (the date the new legislation goes into effect.)

From this point until February 10th, I am listing TONS of inventory (specifically winter and Valentine's gear) on my ebay store. Take a look when you get a chance and check back often, as new items are added daily! (But remember, the prices are always better in store than online, so be happy you are local!)

I hope to have lots of online sales so that I will be able to purchase more and more clothing from all of you. Please help me spread the word about Andy & Eve's new online store... see the site location at my signature line below.

In addition to my ebay store, I also have a Facebook group... Andy & Eve: Luxury Children's Resale. If you have a profile on Facebook, join my group to be kept updated on the latest and greatest information from Andy & Eve. It's also a great marketing resource for me :)

As per usual, the sooner you get it in, the better chance you have of selling before I could possibly have to stop purchasing and have my next Open House. I am specifically looking for girls and boys clothing (outfits) from size 2T all the way up, so if you have anything in these sizes, please bring it in! Of course, I'm always happy to look at other sizes, there are often 'gems' all over the size charts that I'm happy and eager to purchase.

Also, the time has come where I will start selecting clothing by seasons, so as of February 10th, I will be looking to purchase Spring clothing. Hang onto your winter gear, and I'll be ready for those later in the year.

Those of you that have sold with me in the past can vouch for the amazing prices I offer on your luxury and name brand children's clothing. You know that I am very picky, but that is always for YOUR benefit! So, come to me first, and do what you will with the rest.

As always, I also take items as donations. All proceeds from clothing purchased from my donation section benefits www.poemonline.org. A wonderful local postpartum depression support group that I am happy and honored to be on the Board of Directors of, as I myself am a two-time survivor of PPD. Please visit their website if you would like more information about Perinatal Outreach and Encouragement for Mothers.

The next Open House is scheduled for:

Friday, February 27th, 2009
2pm-9pm

CASH OR CHECK ONLY PLEASE!

Again, this will be held at my home:

127 Timber Oak Drive
Powell, Ohio

And again, my amazing nanny has offered to entertain little ones (okay, maybe I've bribed her with more pay) (if you come before 6pm and as long as you are comfortable leaving them in the playroom with her) while you shop in peace!

If you come after 6pm, I suggest you bring a friend and a bottle of wine, and call it a Mommy's night out! Tell your husbands that you are actually SAVING money in the family budget by purchasing resale!!!

If you are a local vendor, or own your own business and are interested in holding a booth at this open house, please contact me directly for further details. We will have lots of fun together!

To sum things up...

a) contact me to set up an appt to drop of your children's outgrown clothing asap (I will begin booking after Feb 10)
b) the next open house date is Friday, February 27th from 2pm-9pm (bring your children, bring your girlfriends, bring you wine... just bring it on!!!)
c) if you want a head start on the open house, or are unable to attend the open house, I'd be happy to offer a private shopping session for you. I'm available any afternoon after 2pm. Get in touch with me for further details.
d) vendors: contact me to get more information about holding a booth during the open house

Thanks in advance for ALWAYS helping me spread the word about Andy & Eve!

LET'S BE GREEN... Reduce, Reuse, ReWEAR!
