Well, it has been a while since we have posted anything here on our blog so I thought, for those of you who care, I would fill ya in on what I have been up too....
I (danielle) have been busy with work for the last two weeks. As most of you know tax free weekend is a big deal here in Tejas so guess where i was.......that's right! Working! Tax free weekend is exactly what it says, a weekend where you can purchase just about anything without tax being added to the total. So of course, all the parents who are clothes & school shopping for their kiddos come out of the woodwork for this weekend to save that every penny on their purchases. I was actually suprised we didn't have more of a mess on our hands this year....maybe we were just more prepared for the weekend than usual. However, I did have the pleasure of closing the store Saturday evening at midnight so I was there until 1:30 in the AM and then was able to turn around and work another full day sunday. Ahhhh, the joys of retail!
Then the next weekend I had planned a HUGE cosmetic event. My regional manager and I had been planning this event for about 2 1/2 months. What I was tryin to do was pick up some extra dollars to make up for a lousy spring season but to also jumpstart my fall season. My hope/goal was to pick up an additional $6,000 over last years numbers. We had each counter book appointments and call all of their best customers to come in and see our "regional makeup artists." I networked with some of the sororities in town (it was rush week here.) and Ryan was nice enough to help me plaster the town with flyers about the event. How did it turn out? We ended up doing $30,000 in two days, which is an additional $18,000 over last years numbers. I was pleased and Very happy that all the stress, headache and breakouts were well worth it. I even got kuddos from my regional vice president, which is always nice. haha. Here are just a few pictures from the event.
took me 3 hours to drape this thing!!
