How is everyone? I hope all is well! We have lots of things going on at Two Chicks, and there isn’t enough room to tell you about it in our Facebook status! Here’s the scoop:
Many of you know about Two Chicks Designs because you met us at a scrapbook convention or a crop. For the past four years, we have traveled both far and wide to bring our products to you at events all over the United States! You may have encountered Christie (that’s me!), Brent (my husband), Brooke, Emily, Sarah, Austin, Susan, Krystal, Laurie, Amelia, Nanette, Tim, or even someone I have forgotten…but most of the time, you would meet Brent and/or me. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all and seeing how much you love our products, but attending 20 conventions a year wears you out. It becomes even harder when you have to leave a 4-year-old and a 1 ½ year old to do it.
This year, we sent lots of different people to the shows so that Brent and I could spend a little more time at home with Zach and Andrew. In September, we sat down and looked at the list of shows and our company financial statement. I told Brent that I would love to be able to stop going to shows for a while, but that I knew we had to do them. Much to my surprise, Brent looked at the numbers again and told me that we don’t have to do them, because we have grown the website so much! I was shocked at first, and then a little panicked…what would I do if I wasn’t traveling all the time? After the panic faded, I started to get really excited! I always said that we were doing the shows to build our website, and that has worked, so we made the decision to stop doing the shows for a while.
Please don’t worry about this decision…I know you may miss us at the shows, but we will still be there in a way! There will be a vendor carrying some of our products. She won’t have as much as we did in our booth, but you will definitely have the opportunity to buy the latest and greatest products we have offered at the show. In addition, I will have some more time to be in touch with you, our customers! I will be blogging regularly, working on our kit club, and designing new products. I will also be on Facebook issuing challenges and just having a good time!
What else is in store? Video chats, classes, online crops, more grab bags, and of course more of your favorite scrapbooking apparel and gifts! If you aren’t a fan of Two Chicks Designs on Facebook, you should be! We have lots of fun, and we actually—gasp—scrapbook. That’s right…the chicks will have you scrappin’ in no time! Stay tuned to my blog...I promise to be here on a regular basis.
