My apologies for not posting anything for the past few days. There's a lot of bidness going on with my bidness. I just got a distributor in California this week, which is something I've been trying to do for eons. The distributor just placed their first order with me on Friday.
New Seasons Market is running a promotion on my products. They did the same promotion last year and just a few days into it my distributors called in a panic because some of the buyers were panicking because they were selling out of the product. I had to meet my distributor the next morning at 6 to get product to them so they could get it on the shelves.
Well, you'd think people would learn from past experiences. On Wednesday I called my distributor to make sure they had stocked up the stores well. They said they had and that they stocked more than last year. I asked, "Are you sure that will be enough, because we've been promoting the product a lot since last year?" They said they were confident there was enough product. So on Friday afternoon when my cell rang with the caller ID displaying my distributor's number, I knew they were calling in a panic, just like last year. The Concordia New Seasons had already sold out of some of the products and it wasn't even the weekend yet.
Anyway, the problem has been solved. I suppose it was a good problem to have, but it wasn't one that I had written into my schedule. Yesterday afternoon I had planned on tying up loose ends, finalizing the first order with my new distributor in California, and blogging. Instead I spent the afternoon putting out a fire, tied one loose end, told my new distributor that I would have to talk with them on Monday and crossed blogging off the list.
I won't be able to do much blogging during the upcoming week, but I'll try to squeeze a few things in, like how Measure 37, among other things, is causing me to wake up in a cold sweat every night!
Thanks for your patience.
