Description:
I want to build a specialty shop. I would be interested in a chain of them at some point. My store will feature goodies of all kinds such as clothing, trinket boxes, kitchen and bathroom decor, blankets, purses for adults and children, toys, personal items such as hairbrushes, wallets, hair bows, all representing strawberries. I will be utilizing social media as well as implementing intensive internet sales procedures. I want to sell globally. I will seek products which fit my criteria and use a space in my store area for storing items to be shipped and a store front which allows customers to shop in person as well. I have an idea that each order over $30.00 receive a free sparkling strawberry desk ornament. This is to keep our shop on their minds. It will smell great, be inviting and very clean and include lamp lights throughout to give it a homey feel. I want to create a highly visible business which has a fun atmosphere and exciting products often given as gifts. I want my store to have a luxury vibe to it, smell of strawberries, feel warm via select, varied lighting and be pink, red and green in color, inside and out, i.e. signage, banners on social media, etc. I will work extensively on bringing in consistent foot traffic as well as good continual visibility through many apps in social media. I am hoping this will be something I can spend the rest of my life investing in, enjoying and being engaged in for a wonderful way to spend the 2nd half of life. I want to create a place that all people enjoy visiting and are drawn to purchase things to have at home or give as gifts to others. Birthdays, weddings, Christmas, 'Just Because' as well. Possibly will add a smoothie bar with a house drink made of fresh strawberries and quality ingredients, along with a lounge area for a quiet place to meet friends for an afternoon of browsing and hanging out. Maybe it will be the Starbucks of the future. 🤗💗 I'm very excited to begin!
