The store's grand opening sale was on Saturday. Even though we've been soft open since mid December, we didn't start advertising till now.
RO created a big event for the sale. We rented hollywood search lights. We catered. We had a stagered sale. 10% off from 10am to 1pm. 20% of from 1pm to 5pm. 30% of from 5pm to 7pm, and 40% off after 7pm.
The customers worked hard to get things at 40% off. Before 7pm, one lady went around the store and hid the items she wanted under scarves.
It was very busy before 7pm. After that it was was a mad house. We were wrapping and ringing non-stop till 10pm. The small stuff was easy. Quickly packing the big stuff, chairs, book shelves, paintings and other art, was back breaking work.
That night I could only dream of bubble wrap and price checking.
It's a big load off my chest that the store will be successful. Still, this isn't easy money We are working hard for our dollars.

How exciting!! Much more rewarding and memorable than holding a coffee cup all day and staring a 1's and 0's.
