Monday April 11, 2011

Wished it was busier today. Low Sales - but the weather was nice, but not many people on main street. I made some affordable Verdi Easter (or any occasion) Goody Bags. Not much to report.
I don't have a working phone at the moment. We got rid of our land line years ago. I'm off to the Apple store tonight to see if it's savable. I'll be back at noon tomorrow!

Ciao

April 2nd 2011

Nice day and lots of people out although most just came to taste and did not buy. Sales were a total 1054.83, not bad but not the best. 
Do NOT use the shrinkwrap gun. There was smoke coming out of it as I was trying to shrinkwrap a basket. We desperetaly need a new one since the other gun had the same problem a little less than a year ago. I wonder if those can be purchased at hobby lobby? That would probably be the fastest way.
anyways, happy sunday everyone.

Not too busy for a beautiful day-sales $617. Brought most of the wedding items down stairs. Dusted and re-shrunk the baskets. Chris took some labeled wines down to the Irish shop. Sold some wine.

We have received new fabric lined baskets today. I've put a few in the kitchen and the remainer in the basement. The hanging bottle tea lights have arrived also and they are all on display.

Tammy has fixed the outgoing messages in outlook. Please delete or add important emails to the file labeled Tammy. This will ease confusion as to whether or not the email was taken care of. If it's something important print it out or mark it as unread for the following person to view.

Crazy but I had most foot traffic after 4pm. Some event must have ended.

Please keep blogs professional and respectful. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Let's work as team and keep the peace.

March 30 2011

Lots of things fixed today!!!! Worked on cleaning up our quickbooks departments and I printed a list of all of the departments with a description as to which items belong in what department and also highlighted the departments that have been/will be cleaned up and made more specific (i have gotten through dep 1, which is now 7 pages shorter, next is department #7).  The list can be found by the telephone. If you could please review this and make sure to receive itmes into the correct departments that would be fantastic.

Label for Kim Graf:  this was very extensive and time consuming.  I had to spend a lot of time formatting and emailing/phoning the lady until we finally came to an agreement as to what the label should look like. I spent two hours on this alone, and went through several labels before it looked right.  She wants to pick up the bottle thursday the 31st, she has not yet paid, and Tammy would like to charge her $10 for the label since it was so extensive. I dont know if Chris quoted her $5 when she took the order, but if she has any questions just explain to the lady that we charge extra for "extra" customized labels, as well as color.

I read the communication log, thanks for keeping us posted. All in all it was not busy, its 4:30pm and we have made a total of $72.30 for the day. I however kept myself busy with the above mentioned tasks which are long from being done.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week.

Hola!

Today was a ghost town on Main Street. As requested. . . The customer custom order information is entered in POS. Per Tammy. . . I brought down most Wedding Baskets, all the acrylic flutes & wine cups. Displayed the "cake by Elaine" with the wedding supplies/baskets/glasses. Feel free to make changes. Elaine stopped by, but she likes where the cake is displayed so she said we can keep it as long as we want it! I made Cardinal Baseball labels & a display of Cardinal Red items as you walk into the store. Opening Day is Thursday & to many baseball fans - that should be a National Holiday =) I spoke with a lady name Kim. She is emailing a picture for a custom label to be made by Friday. I told her that us enough time. I did not receive the email & left her a vm - letting her know I would inform Sarah this should be coming our way. Yesterday I spoke with Nicole at "Thistle & Clover." they are making us a carved wine box to be displayed in the wine shop. They are going to display our a few custom wine labels & bottles so we can refer & receive referrals! Finally, David took a few baskets, corks, Easter wine bottle from the window to an event today. He will be returning these items.

Ta Ta for now,
Chris

Fellow Wino's,

Please continue to read and write in the communication log in addition to this blog. All UPS orders must have the measurements and the weight on our order forms. You can also plug in the measurements in UPS worldship. Please read through the UPS measurement guide. One is on the dry erase board and the other is on the fridge in the kitchen. Any questions please ask me.

We are out of bottled water and Tammy will bring some in. I will not place a coke order yet.

Thanks Camille and Chris for working on Easter.
