Happy New Year! Wow - 2011! Where does the time go? The recent holidays allowed me lots of time to reflect on this past year. While being busy is a great problem to have as a small business owner, it also takes just a little of the joy out of what I love to do so much. I felt like I was just cranking out the orders instead of taking the time to create and enjoy what I was doing. At times, my thoughts were to close my business completely. Other times, the thought was just to scale back. After many discussions with the husband, I have decided to stick to a few core products, while cutting back in some areas. With the continued increase of my supply costs, some things are a necessary evil. Other changes are just to keep my sanity! With that all said, below is an outline of the changes I have made and will make over the next few weeks.
*Once my current supply of clear boxes run out, I will be changing to clear bags.
*Once my current supply of 4x6 envelopes run out, I will no longer be carrying 4x6 invitations.
*No longer carrying notepads
*No longer creating blog headers, logo designs or business card designs
*No longer doing photo cards (Christmas cards or birthday invitations)
*No longer creating and printing fliers or brochures
*No longer creating and printing fliers or brochures
I WILL continue to do:
*Note cards
*Correspondence cards
*Correspondence cards
*5x7 Invitations
*Return address labels
*Square and round stickers
*Bag Tags
*Gift Tags (no hole punching)
Thank you for your understanding as my business continues to change! Looking forward to a productive, fun and stress-free 2011 and wishing you all the same!
