Consumer confidence is UP! More jobs means more people with income to buy in your retail business establishment. Maybe you just came back from market in Dallas, but I hope you didn\’t spend all your working capital for new products there. Many smaller companies like ours have unique & bestselling gift lines that are not yet found at market, even in the temporaries. I made this mistake a couple of times when my Mother & I owned, \”The Old Home Place,\” in Natchitoches, Louisiana. We would get excited at market and allocate all our product funds there, only to return and have some totally unknown wholesaler waltz in through our front doors with wonderful things, usually about local culture (which is GOLD in Louisiana). Of course we also had a lady come in who had made miniature scenes with plastic dolls inside empty 2 liter plastic coke bottles. She was completley unable to recognize the difference between what she was peddling and the better gifts we had in store. You meet all kinds!All that being said, it is just great to be able to happen upon a website like ours. Graphic designs meant to celebrate the daily lives encompassing southern culture, super low minimums AND a suggested retail price point that is rare and hard to beat: that magical $19.99!As a wholesale gift representative to North Louisiana & East Texas, if I had found products like ours, I could have sold those items right & left. I say that to point out what our customers have said about our products:-Fraser Island Gift Nook, Linda Fraser, Venice, Florida: These gift tiles really sell. People come in season after season to buy them. We also have collaborated and made many custom designs that sell well, too. The customer service is honest, wonderful & very accomodating. (This store has been buying from us for nearly 7 years)-Bayou Booksellers, Amanda Adams, Hammond, Louisiana: These tiles should be a staple for your store, especially those you custom design for your cities, schools & parishes. (This store has been buying from us for over 6 years)-Tubbs Hardware & Cajun Gifts, Bossier City, Louisiana: People just love these tiles. We buy them year after year! (This store has been buying from us for about 5 years)-The Jefferson House, Elise Schell, Covington, Louisiana: People love these towels! And we sell various custom designed tiles for our city, too. (This shop in an antebellum home on the historic registry has been buying from us for a little over 3 years)Enough bragging! I think you should give our products a try. Our minumum order is just $100. Not much risk to find, like the shops listed above, that you have located a new product line that MOVES and that you will order again & again.I do believe that 2019 has the potential to be a banner year for retail business success and finding the right lines to appeal to your local customers is key.
