Going Into Online Shopping

Internet was down, little time.  We are looking into ways of going into a online shopping platform.  Still comparing options.  Hoping to add a poll soon to see what options people like best.  No time to do so today, check back here Wednesday or so to see if the poll is up.  Not really leaning one way or another.  Just don't know enough to pick the best one.  Also, should we put in a computer game.  It wouldn't be themed, probably.  Just throwing out the idea since is a new app for the web-site that just became available.  Running out of time, so goodbye for today.

Preparing For The Dark Times

First, I am sorry about the misspelling of the title last time.  I didn't catch it until today, but I have since corrected it.  Sometimes my fingers are faster than my mind, especially on this type of keyboard.  Next, you may have noticed the demo for an online store.  This is just a preparation for the possible addition for more sales ventures for the business.  We are still going over the capabilities afforded by the site builder as well as those outside of it to make sure which one is the best for us  at this time.  We hope that this will supplement our business and not become the major outlet.  As another outlet, we have been looking into partnering with other local businesses in some way.  Anyway, remember us for your spooky book choices for Halloween.  We recently got in a few new appropriately scary titles in you might be interested in.  That is all for today, as I don't have anything else left to say.

Getting Ready For Something new

There are so many options available to install for this website, I still haven't figured them all out.  I am just not that good at too many of the technical aspects of design that I am not sure what to do or not to do.  For instance, the store now has followers on Google +.  I do not know what to do about that, as I am not 'into' social media that much.  I am waiting to see what everybody else does before I get to much more into it.  Another option that I am exploring for the site is the possibility of some sort of online shopping.  I myself have never shopped online before in any form, so I still need to look more into that before if we can even offer it and it what form.  The host site seems to have could a few versions of how to do it, but I still need to research them.  On to other news.  It had been confirmed; one of distributors has gone to digital versions only for all of their catalogs.  I just made sure that we have subscribed to the most important ones since they were usually published this time of the month.  We are also still looking for any authors for an event in November, or possibly December but that wouldn't be as easy to schedule.  As one final request, I might be setting up a gadget today for a poll on whether or not to go into online sales.  I don't know if I will be able to install it today or not, but here's hoping.

Happy Anniversary to Us

Well, it has been sixteen years since Booknotes was opened.  In that time, we have had many events take place.  We have had over a dozen book signings, with the most recent one just last month with Ronni Lundy.  We have also had Bob Morgan, Adrianna Triglianni, and Glynn Rubio as our honored guests as well.  I am sorry that I can't thank every single author who has been to our store, but there have been so many that I can't put all of your names in, as my hands are already starting to hurt from all of the typing.  We would like to thank all of our customers over the years for choosing us as your destination for books and other merchandise.  We hope to see all of you again, especially during our Anniversary Sale where almost everything is at least 15% off, with some up to 50% off.  It would be 16%, but that figure is just a little bit awkward.  Come join us as with celebrate all of the wonderful times we have had together.  Hopefully, it will be for a long time, as we will be transitioning into the next phase of our re-branding and development.

Let's See If This Worked
