Just the outside

2010 is around the corner and LBBP will need to continue its growth.
Goals for the new year-
1: Get my first and main gift item set to market in the big leagues.
2: Add the next age group to toys, clothing and accessories
3: Vamp what I have going- switch to a green web host, get a better looking shopping cart that allows me more freedom with sale/discount issues.

Objectives: Create/Maintain an Eco-baby business that allows me to create and be available for my own children.
Stay true to the green factor and try to stay with companies who manufacture their products in the USA, and keep LBBP made products here in the USA 100% of the time.
Allow the growth and potential to occur and be steadfast to pursue it.

It isn't the new year but already I feel a push to figure this out quick. Small things come about and can throw me off in a second. I need to be prepared, I will over think, over write, over talk this issue and go around in circles until everyone is more tired of hearing about my ideas than they are now. I will be losing sleep in the new year until these items are set in stone, the store continues to climb month over month proving to myself and my investor (my husband) that this is worth the time and money and we can begin to breath again. I don't want the little pieces: sales pitches, boutique shows, buying, creating, sewing to set me off track-they are the support I need to get my objectives fulfilled.

So far, my plan includes : The list above.
I have found 1 packaging option. the best so far and I have been dealing with that off and on for 9 months. The store has been up and running for 7months. But, This is just the beginning.

My deadline: March for a mock up, I need to be ready for the EXPO in October but to get in they need to see my product is serious and looks the part. Eco, helpful and is buyer friendly. March is around the corner. I've only got a lead on the packaging- just the outside that is it! I'm getting hives thinking about the list I need to write of the things I need to get done for my first goal.
