I know, but it's not the same as roaming up and down the aisles, reading

labels, listening to songs on the headphones, and watching the bright eyes

of little kids checking out the new toys.

Hi,

I have to say that I shop at Target. I love target.

Casey can tell you that. Target prices aren't that

expensive. There house hold cleaning items are the

same price as Walmart, even lower when they are on

special. There clothes are better made, and they

clearance, all the time on everything. I have bought

really nice sheets for $10. So don't count Target out

Late last week, the ADA Project Manager from Walmart called me to discuss

the situation. I went over it in great detail and explained how it was just

about dwarfs about about anyone with a disability.

He commented on how not many people take the time to file the complaints

when things happen. Based on what I read on the lists lately, others do have

situations and have said something. I guess one has to go higher than the local

level to get any sort of response. Local managers will probably just give a rude

cashier a talking to and be done with it, they don't want to file paperwork and

complaints--it makes them look bad too.

Hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving.

Went to stupid Walmart yesterday, Boy do I hate that place but they have us

in a hold, no place else to go. I was looking at the soap baskets, how can

we compete? They charge such low prices!

Good news! We don't have to complete with Wal-Mart. They get the customers

whose primary goal is lowest price. We get the customers who seek high

quality, variety, custom orders, and personal service. :-) Keep that in mind

and communicate it to your customers.

I shop at Wal-Mart. Why? Because I am looking for my area's lowest price,

and because I can get both household goods and groceries in one place, which

helps when I'm in a hurry. There are, however, certain items I don't buy

there because I can get the quality standard that I'm willing to pay more for,

more choices, or better service, elsewhere. Not everyone, but enough people,

and they are among our target market, are willing to pay more for what we

offer. Wal-Mart does not offer handmade soap. :-)

Hi Susie and others ~

After you comment I checked out Wal-Mart's soap and lotion spa baskets.

You're right, we can't compete with their prices. I also checked and all the

basket products are made in China. A lot of people don't trust what is coming

out of China these days and that is in our favor at least.

Shaye, you really lit up this talk board when you asked where everybody was!

Your new

table set up looks nice. Glad to hear you had a good show too. I just did a

show in a friend's home in Interlaken. About 6 or 7 people brought their

crafts. It went very well and we will be doing it again next year. We did do

some advertising and handed out fliers and

put up posters. In addition to soap for the show I made some twisted wire

snow flakes (which didn't sell), made some home made suet balls (sold half of

them), some painted birds (sold maybe 3 of those), but the soap did well. The

friend's home is a log cabin

and nicely rustic inside. It lent itself well to the homemade crafts we

displayed. We all shared the advertising expenses (about $20 each).

Two more weeks at the Windmill and things will get quiet for me......at

least I hope so for

a little bit. I feel the need for some down time. I have books I received for

Christmas last

year that I haven't read yet! And I love to read, it's my escape.

We're getting lots of snow here in Waterloo as well. I usually go to an

auction in Phelps on Monday nights but didn't go tonight because of the slippery

roads and blowing snow. We're supposed to get in the neighborhood of 10 to 12

inches of snow by tomorrow afternoon. Lots of schools closings I'm sure.

Well, hope everyone is having some success getting ready for the holidays,

without pulling your hair out too much. : ) Good luck to all in that area.

Stay warm and safe on

the slippery roads.
