Here's to the Holidays

Well, it is that time of year again, Holiday Sales.  I know this sounds kind of cheap mentioning it, but almost everyone else is too.  I just wanted to get that out of the way before mentioning other things.  Actually, there is not that much else to say.  We wish everybody a peaceful experience over the rest of the weekend.  Remember to try local businesses first for your shopping needs.  If we do not have what you are looking for currently, we will try and get it for you in a timely fashion.  If we cannot, we will try and find where you can find it.  Running out of time (check my personal blog for more details) so I cannot do much more.  Apologies to any messed up elements on the site, we are still trying to work some new things out.  Bye for now.

It Is That Time of Year Again

I am having a lot of computer problems this morning, so I have to be brief.  We will having a Black Friday Sale, but it won't be starting on Friday.  It will be starting on Wednesday, November 23.  I won't give out how much of a discount we will be offering yet, or on what products.  However, if you check out our social media pages on Facebook and Google+, you might get a few other details.  Now, I only have a little time left to talk about the store's decorations.  While I usually think it could be done in a day or two, somehow it takes almost five days to complete all of the Christmas decorating.  Please be in mind that we will be open this Friday at our regular hours, even if it doesn't look like it.

Here's Looking at Us

In case you haven't noticed by now, we are on Facebook.  We still haven't worked everything out yet, but we are hoping to have everything connected real soon.  The official URL hasn't even been decided upon as of this time.  Hopefully, this will been done soon enough that it won't look too bad.  Still have yet to figure much out about it, but we are hoping to get a book (heh, heh) on it very soon.  Our distributor was out of stock when we placed our last order.  We also are still looking into online sales.  We think we have found a way around our problems.  In the meantime, there might be a surprise waiting for everyone on the Contact Us page.  Don't know if we can get to it today, but definitely before the next weekly post.

Are You For Social Networking Or Anti-Social

First things first, the poll for the possibility for an online shopping system for the store should be up right now.  The options might not be spelled out clearly enough, so let me explain them.  First, we could offer a few select items up on a separate site (such as E-Bay) and then provide a link to that site for the actual sale.  This option works best since we only have one copy usually of any book to sell.  The second option is to offer sales directly through this site.  We would need to possibly upgrade the site to include other options to manage inventory and such, but the possibility exists.  The final option is to only showcase certain items here, and the allow customers to pick up and pay at the actual store.  The option exists to e-mail or phone in the order, as well as the potential to pay for it online.  We are still looking into that.  We would like to hear from you on what you think would be best.  Secondly, as the title of this post suggests, we might finally be joining another social network, Facebook.  The actual implementation is taking a little longer then we would have liked, but we might get there this week.  Don't forget that we are already on Google+, although some of the functions might not be working properly.  Be on the lookout for other features as well.  Finally, the original blog might be starting back again.  We just have to make sure that the author knows exactly what to do.  Good-bye for now.
