Lessons Learned and Looking Forward

Running a business is a learning experience. You hear it all the time but never really understand the extent of truth in the statement until you're there. If you haven't noticed, we've been announcing new shirts and hoodies over the last couple of blog posts and have yet to deliver. Instead of pointing fingers and playing the blame game, I'm going to come right out and say that we're humans and have been caught slacking. We do have designs we're considering and we are closer to finalizing the orders but we're not quite there yet. I've been long told that one of the best strategies in business is to under promise and over deliver. Expect more of that from us from here on out.

Now that I've got that out of the way, lets move on to the upbeat. If you're reading this, pause for a second and notice our upgraded web page. If you're one of our beloved customers, please do take a second to register and leave a review of our service and product in the guestbook. Or register and start a discussion for other users to join in on. Either is great. Also this month, I had the honor to sit down with one of Louisville's hottest artists, be sure to check out our discussion on the music page...pics will be added shortly.

On another front, we have gotten the much needed go ahead and backing from Kosair to start the toy drive. Now comes A LOT of planning. We're going to need receptacles, signs, volunteers, locations to set said receptacles and most importantly, toys. If you can help with ANY of this, please contact me at mike@peaceline.net. Or you can reach me by messaging us on facebook, or myspace, or even twitter. Email would be preferred though.

Even more good news, today we ordered our first round of accessories so be on the lookout for scarves in the following weeks. If you like them when they get here, order one. This is a test run so we kept the numbers small. We're gauging whether or not to stock more on the demand this trial creates. If you wait, you're probably going to be out of luck. Seriously, they're a hot item, and I do expect them to move fast. Plus, you know we've got you on the good price, I already know we're charging AT LEAST half of what you'd pay in the store.

Other than that, that's about all. The 25% sale is still on, but will be ending when we get more inventory in...Including the scarves, new tees, and the hoodies. Oh and we're trying some cool new things on facebook, too. Check our page every Monday for new music that we think you should be up on and then later in the week, we hit you with videos that inspire us with their creativity, artfulness, or vision. Should be dope and as always, you can submit your favorite vids to us and turn us on to something new. This is a two way street. Or at least we want it to be...

Until next time,
love life.
Lee.
