Photographis Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Did anyone bother with a promotion this year? If you did, I hope you had more success than we did, in all it netted us around a dozen mugs and a pair of boxers. Very poor. But then, they aren't the most romantic around here. Usualy around this time of year we do quite a few locket minatures (which has been a bit of a struggle to price), but this year only one. 'They' do say that in hard financial times, romance blooms, maybe it's just not hard enough yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photographis Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I was wondering about other peoples experiances, because of my dissapointment I had visited our local jewelers (whom we do lockets for - a bit more networking - Have you approached your jewelers?) and they said that Valentines trade was down. Don't feel quite so bad now I know the whole country seems to have lost it's romance. A good time to say a very big thankyou to 'Magic Touch' for their VERY last minute help. Well done Guys 'n' Gals. HMMM--- JELLY BEANS,,, no good for me to have them on the counter, I'd end up eating my stock!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fujilab Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 We did well on frames prints and enlargements this year with even a few photo books. We're using a marketing programme that has a Valentines Day promotion so started that on the 1st of February. Slow to start but the beginning of this week took off and Saturday was very busy - twice what we would normally do. I think this year we have been lucky with it falling in the weekend as people had more time to shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilh Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Only thing we did extra was frames, prints and digital frames. We tried a window full of caricatures but didn't have any sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
