Wow, it has been a long 6 months since the last post on this blog. So many changes have occurred in the market of greeting cards and the economy itself has gone through many negative changes. Through it all, Scentsational Greetings is still having a blast coming up with new designs and scents to please our customers. We attended the National Stationery Show in May, and although it was a much smaller attendance, it gave us sincere hope that our industry will start to rebound in the next few months.

Times have been very tough for small business owners over the last year (myself included!). As we commit to making major changes in our life and business, you will notice that often things do get worse before they get better. This can range from feeling down to a decrease in sales.
The goal is to keep moving forward, believe in yourself enough to know that you are laying a foundation for the best, which is yet to come!

Onward to a successful fall!

Jumpstart to a successful 2009...

So far 2009 is shaping up to be an exciting and fun new year! We just returned from the Atlanta Gift and Home Furnishings Mart (Jan 9th-13th), and I am now more motivated than ever to develop and expand the Scentsational Greetings brand.
We met so many wonderful people during the show including our newest customers and even had a blast hanging out with our booth "neighbors" (Tamara, Taylor, and McKenna you rock!)
There were so many exciting new products being unveiled at the show, I was amazed at the ingenuity of my fellow entrepreneurs!
This year, be on the lookout for new (and Scentsational) products including invitations, and note cards. If you have suggestions for the type of products or scents you would like to see on the market, feel free to comment on this blog. We welcome your opinions!
Wishing you much success and happiness in 2009!
