My Friday Evening

Since leaving my full time job today I have spent most of my evening working on my business, Cherished Gifts & Favors.

I started by sending an e-mail to my customer to let her know the shipment of favors that she has been waiting on for her son's wedding came in earlier than I had expected. While doing that I receive an e-mail from a lady from Oklahoma who saw an ad that I placed for my place card holders on Craig's List. She had thought of a creative use for my place card holders and wanted to let me know about it in case I wanted to use it as a marketing idea. I sent her an e-mail thanking her for taking the time to share it with me. She then proceeds to share 5 to 6 more creative uses for my place card holders. We end up chatting back and forth for a little while I'm processing an order that I received late this afternoon. It sounds like she throws a lot of parties and actually collects place card holders. While we are chatting she is browsing my website to see everything I have.

As I am e-mailing her, I get an order from someone who was shopping in my eBay store, Cherished Gifts and Favors.

As I am writing this blog, I am working with another customer via e-mail for favors that she wants to buy.

I love working with my customers to provide them with trendy, elegant wedding favors and personalized gifts for their wedding or party. This is how I want to spend my time. I can hardly wait till I can give up my day job!
