set set hours and stick to them unless you get a request from someone who is a
great buyer.
make a small amount of various items and see what sells well then make more. its
trial and error in this thing and rememver different parts of the country have
different likes/needs etc. start slow and build up.....easy to go up but much
harder to go down. dont go crazy with inventory at first, just start
slow.........try and offer unique items, stick to a few scents until you grow
then you add stuff.....
good luck.

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to be opening up my gift shop soon which is in my garage,
and I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.
1. What kind of hours does everyone keep for a shop in your home? I
also work at home as a medical transcriptionist during the day so I
thought of hours kind of like 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. - trying to get
people who work time to visit and me a few hours to work
uninterrupted. What do you think?
2. I have a neighbor who does bridal gowns in her home and she told
me that she found that no matter what kind of hours she was open
people wanted to come at all hours. Any tips?
3. What kind of stock do I need to build up since I have no idea
what people may want or how many will visit my gift shop?
4. I made up a flyer for my local area, but not sure how to get it
to my neighborhood. I tried searching the internet for a place where
I could put in my address and get names and addresses of my neighbors
so I could send out the flyer in the mail. I am going to put flyers
up at local businesses, but wanted to get the message out to my
specific neighborhood. Any suggestions?

Thanks much,
Brenda G, IN
