Yardies... I have a question for you

[JOURNEE1125 0]

Thank You all for all of the fedback posted and emailed. I have been soooo busy with the store and a wedding in St. Louis and (JOMO YOU AND DILLON WILL LAUGH AT THIS ONE!! I HAD A FOOD AND ART BOOTH AT THE STL AFRICAN ARTS FESTIVAL THE SAME DAY AS A WEDDING IN FOREST PARK THIS PAST WEEKEND. I HAVE LOST MY MIND. BUT LOTS OF HELP FROM MY FAMILY) And I am proud to say it all turned out fine. I know I havent posted in a while but I do appreciate the advice and input (positive and negative) from each of you. iT HAS HELPED SOO MUCH.

Fun Fact.

You have to have a Business in Jamaica OPENED 14 DAYS BEFORE YOU CAN APPLY FOR A BUSINESS LICENSE.

So what happens after you spend all of the money on merchandice , location, advertising. If they deny your application?

And it could take upto 6 months before you can recieve a credit card machine!

WOW!!!

Gotta Love Jamaica!!

You argued by yourself...because you definitely didn't get an agrument from me. Trifling. You really need to grow up. I definitely don't have time in my day or life for silly ####### like this. You can go back and forth here if you want...but this is the last comment you will get from me. Next.

hmmm I'm confused how does referencing jawi and the song "hate on me haters" serve as a compliment or message of thanks? maybe elaboration would clear it up

[JOURNEE1125 0]

Because it was my understanding that "She and I" had a very positive resolution to the situation . But at this point it is obviously something that is a sore spot for someone. Once again it was a thank you for "Jawi" for a negative that turned into a positive (obviously , because it was a thank you statement" . And if she and whoever else takes it in a negative way then so be it.

Oh, what are the plans? I love grand openings!

Correction

Grand Opening is Saturday July 11th ( My Mommie is coming) So excited I love Grand Openings with SWAG!!

Well I first I am sending hand deliverd invitation bags to EVERY Wedding Planner in Negril. Especially Targeting The Resorts.

Because we offer EVERYTHING you need for your wedding. We are a One Stop Shop we are promoting everything

From Wedding Dresses and Apparel to Rental Chairs/ Covers and Tables Photography Srvcs. Catering and Cakes Floral Arrangements etc.

AS WELL AS. Decorating items candles bridal party gifts ring pillows flower baskets and extras Invitation and Program Printing services. So there is the oppurtunity to sell to the resort planners as well as plan a wedding.

So Far in the "Bag of Swag" All marketing and promotional items. Of course "EVERYTHING WE ARE GIVING AWAY HAS OUR NAME ON IT"!

Gift bag with our Logo and Store Name. "Elite Upscale Weddings". Personalised Cup, Pen, Calandar Magnet , Favor Box with Ribbon, Satin Bag of Candy (We choose Hershey Kisses as our signature candy) so every bride will recieve a "Bag Of Kisses" in her Gift Bag from Us. A small sewing emergency kit. And a "Member Only" Card that offers Planners 15% off each purchase. Store Brochures, And Business Cards.

So I think this is a good "Bag of Swag" with nice promotional items. (Even if the planner doesnt come to the party you still have some of our marketing materials.) And we are giving away some cool Door Prizes.

Presentations by 3 Different Wedding Consultants, Networking & food and drinks.

So if you are gonna be in Jamaica on July 11 Come By for some "Sweet Wedding Treats"

Of course I am going to post pics from the party

SO GOD WILLING THIS IS MY PLAN FOR THE Grand Opening So Far Thanks for the interest
