Moving date and new sale prices
January 21, 2009
Good Evening Everyone!
Well, as we suspected, the slow housing market has delayed our move to the Chicago area. We are still hopeful that we will be making that move in the spring or early summer.
In the meantime, there is an unsubstantiated rumor that we are going out of business because of slow sales. This couldn't be further from the truth. We are going back to our basics concentrating more of our efforts and resources to the candles, and less concentration on the room sprays, salts, etc. We will still be carrying these products, but on a more limited basis.
To our local customers, we have opened a booth at Traderbakers Flea Market on Clifty Drive to make our products more accessible. The are open Monday through Saturday 10am to 7pm and Sunday Noon - 5pm. This makes it easier for our customers to shop after hours. We still have our products available at our shop, but owning a small business requires a ton of hours that cannot always be spent in the shop. If you want to come to the shop, please call us first to make sure we are going to be here 812-265-6465. As for the move, we have decided to keep the candle shop and when we are in town, we will notify everyone so they can come to the shop as they always have. If you want to be on the "call when in town" list, please email us or call us with your phone number and when we come to town, we will call you to see if you need anything or if you want to come visit.
New sale items-- we are going to reduce our stock on a couple of candle scents that haven't been strong movers. Be sure to check out the website for those sales scents. We are going to be adding new scents this spring and we will keep you posted as the new scents are developed.
We have also permanently lowered the price on the tart burner smelly melts, fragrance oils and bath & body products. Yes, we LOWERED the prices!!! Imagine, not just a sale price in this economy!
To our retailers-- Thank you for a fantastic 2008. We were very sorry to see some of our smaller mom and pop shops have to close due to a poor economy, but we are hopeful this new federal government leadership will help to make things better for all us!
We have been working deligently on re-stocking after the holidays, so we have plenty of stock on hand!
Also, with a tougher economy, many groups are going to need to raise funds. Please keep us in mind if your group needs help. Our program is very generous and we have groups that have been with us for 5 years. We have seen an increase in sales from our fund-raiser groups. People are likely to help kids in tough times!
As always, we close by thanking each and everyone of you. Without our customers, we wouldn't be here.
Christine, Thomas & Luke
