My Achievement for 2009!

Year 2009 has really been a challenging year for me!

1) I picked up and learnt alot from my business.
2) I came to know lots of nice customers who really appreciate our handmade creation and keep supporting us along the way.
3) I have alot of first time experience (participating in Flea market and selling in retail shops etc)
4) I got to know a number of friends who shared the same passion as me in handmade stuff

To keep things simpler, here's a short sumary of my small "achievement".

• Jan - Feb: I have my first time exposure in Retail selling. I rented a small area from Kuchiku in Plaza Singapura to do market tesing. Response was good and we managed to gain a number of loyal customers along the way.
• Mar: I started my first Flea Market in Fleatique and Flea Flo Fun. I didn't know that there were so much preparation work to be done just for a day's selling event. I lugged 2 huge lugguge bags to the market, had my first time interaction with customers, introducing products to them, doing VM and set up for my stall. It was fun but tiring but i told myself that this is a real experience for me and i will continue doing this every few months.
  
• Apr: I started my first spree and BP in SMH for my best selling products - Passport covers and Card holder. Initially, I just wanted to test response from all the mummies in the forum but I never knew that this will lead to my utimate success! My thread response was overwhelming and during the 1 week spree, i got my ever first huge orders of over 200 passport covers orders and 50 card holders. Some of these mummies ultimately became my loyal customers:)
• May - Jun: My Spree in SMH continued and we started creating and coming up with new items every month to surprise our customers.
• Jul - Aug: I was approached by an organiser to join as one of the supplier for Secondary school's entreprenuer program. So lots of stuff were prepared for the students to sell. Product briefing and stock taking were taught to the students. Both myself and students learnt alot from the selling event.
  
• Sep: I consigned my handmade stuff to a friend's pushcart in Cineleisure. Sales was amazing and my total sales came up to 4 figures in just 2 to 3 weeks.
• Oct: I continued my adventure in retail selling and decided to place my stuff in both Concept Story and SunFlower.
• Nov: I started Twitter, Facebook for my business and launched my official website. My FB fans grew to over 200 in just a month and is still growing.. My official site bring me lots of praises too.
• Dec: A awesome month with lots of Xmas orders from both new and repeated customers. Sales in SunFlower was fantastic too! I have a mini pre-Xmas sales event for my customers at my place and it was well received and sales was surprisingly very good! I had 2 days selling event at my hubby's company where i get to interact and know a few customers who like our stuff.
  

Well..that's all for the summary..(heehee but I think it looks more than a summary..)

Anyway, i like to take the opportunity to thank all my customers for what we are today and we hope to have your continued support in the coming New Year. We will continue to work in creating lots more cute stuff for you.. you will be pleasantly surprised so do check our blog for more updates!

Happy 2010 to All and hope all of us have a good year ahead!
