It's time to mix it up

We have been thinking about mixing it up a little. One of the things we are going to do is really ramp up our website. Also we decided to start doing wholesale.

Now wholesale is a whole different kettle of fish. You need a showroom to have clients come in and buy your line. It has to be in the garment district or at the very least in Manhattan. So we got a real estate guy to set up some appointments for some showroom space.

What is really crazy is that Manhattan real estate prices are somewhat reasonable compared to what is going on in Brooklyn. Brooklyn has become the hottest place in the city. If not the nation. So many poseurs and douchenozzles want to move in. The editor of Vogue lives here. Fucking Captain Picard lives here.

It is all about supply and demand. There are so many spaces in midtown compared to the low rise of Brooklyn that the cost is going down. So many companies have gone out of business because of the Obama economy that we saw a bunch of spaces. This one looked good.
We are looking so that we can facilitate the move to Florida. If I have a showroom I can leave it and just come into town during market. You know when people come to town to buy. I can set up salesperson to work while we are not there.

It is a work in progress.
