2010 Business Outlook Survey

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Whew, we made it through the Valentine’s Day rush! We’re already nearly eight weeks into the year (can you believe it?) and for Bags & Bows those first eight weeks give us a good indication about where things are going to come in for the year.  So, we’re curious about how your year is starting off and what you anticipate in 2010.  We’ve put together a really short survey on your 2010 outlook to get at some of our burning questions.  We are of course, very interested in how you are doing and what you are seeing…the more we know about your business, the better job we can do to bring you the right retail packaging products at the right prices.

We will publish the results later this week so you can gauge your business against other fashionable retailers across the country and see how you stack up.  Of course, all responses are confidential and only aggregated data will be shared as an outcome of the survey.

Thanks for a great show!

showroomA HIT SHOW!

Thanks to everyone that came to our showroom for January’s Atlanta Gift and Home Furnishings Market. Traffic was brisk and the show was a hit! It’s always great to talk to our existing and new customers face to face too.  We hope you found everything you needed

It was still back to basics, with white and kraft shoppers the most popular products. A major hit though was our new Damask Mimosa collection with a classic pattern in a contemporary, on-trend color (in the picture shown). We also developed some new coordinating so you can affordably get your name on the bag (call me for details on those though).

I hope you’ll come by to visit the Bags & Bows showroom next time you’re in the Metro Atlanta area. You can browse our line or we can just brainstorm some ideas over a cup of coffee.  For more information regarding the showroom, give me a call at 888.395.2697 or e-mail me at kkroll@deluxe.com

Hope to see you soon, or at the next big show starting July 14th and ending July 21st!
