A BIG HIT!



Just yesterday we had over 2700 hits on our site! We had a huge promotion with free shipping over $30 and 20% off the entire store. It really was a Huge Hit. We received about 7 orders yesterday.

It's totally a rush! I am getting more and more customers, of whom I do not know :). Those are the best kind, although I love the support from my family and friends!

Facebook has been an awesome tool that has totally helped me promote everything I have. I am going to have to do a press release soon, any suggestions?

The House of PlumRed is growing everyday. Beyond the little hiccups, everything has fallen into place, and all I can do now is stick with it and keep going!

One stepping stone at a time...

QUOTE FOR THE DAY:
“When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.”

The AFTER LAUNCH

The House of PlumRed finally opened on November 25. Even though we were unable to open when we hoped for, I know everything good comes in time! I am excited to say that HOPR has now been open for 14 days :).

HOPR went through some minor hiccups; including no response from the coder! But it finally all worked out.

It's funny how a month feels like a year. I think this has to be the most stressful and exciting time time of my life. I know I don't make millions now, but the satisfaction of my work was enough to keep me going :). Who knows...

We also got our very first order on November 25. So exciting! We are slowly growing, and since, we have received 10 orders. Not bad for a little online store huh? ;-)

Since then, we have anywhere from 400-1200 hits on our website DAILY. I hope to have those numbers. Any suggestions anyone out there in the World Wide Web who may be reading my blog? My goal is to get 30,000 hits per day.


Now, on to the Marketing plan...

So far we have affiliates and Facebook.

I did join the Fashion Industry Network, and it has been SO helpful!
