QuickBooks is about to send me over the edge! I think I need to hire someone to get it all setup for us to prevent a mental breakdown and future complications when I screw it up!! Thanks for your help. Hey Amber - quick random question for you - do you have an accounting program in place that is working for you? QuickBooks is about to send me over the edge!

I know, I know - sounds like you are on the right track = congrats! Way back in the day (2003) we did a show for a local Mother's Club - it was the highest return on any marketing or gift show we ever did - sometimes you just have to try....okay now I am contradicting myself from previous posts. Glad it went well! You are a smart business woman - so much to do and so little time! I know, I know - sounds like you are on the right track = congrats!

The display sounds like a great idea and if we've learned anything first impression and presentation are so very important to buyers at a show. Question for you - do you get enough sales at a gift show to justify the expense of traveling? I know we all have gone back and forth on trade shows, but I would love to hear if these are that profitable for you. Amber RuffleButts.com One step at a time, I am learning.
