STEP-BY-STEP TO GET GLAMOROUS GLASS READY TO OPERATE

The last few months have been quite busy for us as not only do we gather our knowledge and energy to get our online store launched in mid/ end April, but also to be able to open a bricks-and-mortar store in September 2010. No matter of how we will reach our clients, if it is online or in person, we want to provide them with exceptional glass and ceramic pieces from Europe. Hand-made, hand-painted glass vases, bowls, figurines, plates, etc. will be valued by those who look for something which can not be purchased in chain stores. The items we will be offering are all unique work of art made by hand, so each represents an individual piece of decor and at the same time can be used in our everyday lives.

We are currently working on the website so it is easy to navigate and user-friendly. Taking and editing pictures of inventory, planning marketing campaigns, preparing written part of the website, and at the same time organizing shipments, communicating with suppliers, taking care of formal arrangements such as insurance, financing, bookkeeping, etc. takes a lot of time! It's amazing how much work is needed to launch an online store! Especially that at the same time we need to keep in mind that time flies and soon we will have to start looking for lease opportunities (our aim is Oakville, Ontario)!
