Back in the swing of things.

I didn't blog a lot while we were in Vegas because we were very busy. We had a lot of meetings and a lot of them didn't go well. All of these companies are the same. The big ones are no problem. You see the line, pick out what you want, pay for it and you are off to the races. But when you find a new designer that you want to use it is always a problem. The wife is too nice and she befriends these people. She helps them with the design and the fabrics and the look that we know will sell. Then they have to cut the garment. They need to cut a certain amount and they always seem to stick us with a big number of pieces. Then the other stores get away with buying a size run or two and getting the cream while we have to struggle to sell 50 or 60 pieces. Not anymore. So we have to figure this out. How to get new exciting stuff without having to bet the farm on it.
