I would be interested in speaking with you regarding your business. Staying in biz for over 16 yrs is an accomplishment and means you must be doing some things right. The challenge, however, is to take an "outsiders" look at your business and figure out where improvements can be made. I do have a few questions for you-

- Is your store freestanding, what is your location?

- What is the make-up of the larger retailers you mention?

- Do you attend gift shows to review new products?

As a small biz person myself, I'd like to review the basics and help you brainstorm new strategies. If you can take away a few ideas after speaking with me, consider it a gift. If you would please email me with your location, it will help for me to review demographics and other elements about your location.

I look forward to speaking with you,
