Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all current folk in the military and those who came before. Although for many this holiday that creates a long weekend, if it was not for our forefathers we would not enjoy the life we have in the country we all love.

Life for me on St. Simons Island is not slowing down any now that Summer is here and the kids are out of school. I am hoping for a great Summer Season here at AccentsMarketplace. I have a former employee who is now entering her Senior year of college in Marketing helping me this Summer with some new marketing strategies. I hoping her youth and enthusiasm will bring me some great new ideas!

We are going to do some grass roots marketing and mail postcards and offer to discounts to locals to hopefully bring in a new clientele that will love what we sell and do! We are also going to work on some in-store events and promotions that will hopefully interest our customers.

Since July Market falls during my two daughters Summer Workshop play, I am planning to attend the Apparel Market instead. I am looking forward to seeing what new items that I can come up with to entice my customers. I also plan to do some local shopping to see what similar stores are doing in their market.

My camera is missing, but as soon as I find it or replace it, I plan on posting photos of new merchandise as it arrives in the store! Look for it later in the week.

Happy Summer and come visit us soon at AccentsMarketplace and AccentsMarketplace.com.
