Start Up Kids Line

Now we’re in design and planning swoop for next show

January 19th, 2007

Things are going good. Things are on the up ‘n up. I think we’ve picked up a sales rep. YES!! I’m excited to bring her on-board and she’s excited to jump on-board, so this could be good, very good.

Once momentum gets going, it’s crazy how things seem to fly by you. All of a sudden, we’re only three weeks from KIDShow, and help-me if we end up in the same scurried position we were in before the gifting suite. The planning HAS to be better than that. So far, it is.

For the last event, we planned product offering, we planned display, we semi-planned print materials. And with all that planning, the product stuff took us so long, we ended up with very little time to devote to display, and less to devote to print materials. What happened? We forgot to set all the deadlines along the way, and to write it all on the calendar.

This time we’re breaking it down to nitty gritty deadlines. We pulled it off last time, but this time I don’t want to feel like we have to pull it off, I want to feel like we’re well prepared. So, that’s the plan. And this time, the print materials and the display are higher priority.

We’re also planning on launching a few of our fashion designs. It’s fall and it’s time. It’s so time. We’ll capitalize on a lot of the designs we’ve invested in, but we’ve got a few new patterns under production – all of them are new to the market, all of them will be fabulous.

Ok, we’re off to do the calendar and then off for the night. We’re sticking to the early morning schedule and it’s really a lot nicer to get to work when we’re refreshed in the morning.
