Some Possible Down Time

2010-02-25T21:57:00.000-08:00

Due to the uncertainty right now with an illness in the family things are kind of on again off again with working on BNW web projects right now. At this point I am not even sure when or where I am working some days until last minute. Things are not going to get any easier for some time to come I am afraid. It is going to require some support from the BNW community to keep things rolling on line for a while until I can get more of an idea of when I have time to do the things needed for me to do.
Mean while I have been working on the new web site. It is going slow and there is now some re work to do as I was not liking how it flowed the way I was doing it. As I go along I am finding that some of the things I was hoping to do I can find better of ways of doing another way that looks better. I think this site is going to be much better than I had hoped for once it is complete. Right now I am just into the Woodland Sceinc part of the site. I am adding the text first on most things and then to pictures. If there is any special page functions those are getting added when I first start the page.
There will be a sign up area on the site for getting special offers and updates on products that are added as we grow. I will be looking for Building New Worlds network members to sign up for this.
Along with the new web site there will be a new community set up also for the products we are going to have on the site. It will cover interest in a few areas so checking that out when it is up and running will be a must if you like Woodland Scenics.

Special Offers and updates.

2010-02-14T12:01:00.000-08:00

Albany Oregon, Building New Worlds offers Woodland Scenics and Scene-A-Rama. There are learning kits for tuning up your skills and there are also instructional books and videos. Coming on the Next Generation site there will be videos and tutorials there also. We are looking at having work shops this year on using Woodland Scenics too. We will update you on when this happens when we know more.
The Spring Time is coming up fast and that means village collectors will be looking for Spring landscaping for their villages. We offer a wide rang of products that will make a lovely Spring display for your village. Please see the catalog PDF on our website for all of the products we have or can order for you.

New Web Site Update

2010-01-31T11:24:00.000-08:00

The Next Generation web site is going along rather well right now. We did hit a couple of snags this past week but thank to learning about a next extension for the program we are using it is back on track again and from what I have shown James so far he seemed rather impressed by it. I personally feel that compared to where we were last year and other years past this is light years ahead of the game. The next techie stuff I am learning and starting to use on the back end of Building New Worlds should also put me well ahead of other retailers I am up against as far as bring you new ways of learning how to use the products we carry and I am looking into new things every week that will put us ahead of the game and bring you all easier, faster and better ways to get active with Building New Worlds not only as customers but as a community also.
This week i will be looking deeper into the Pine Car products from Woodland Scenics and exploring the options with them. Some of the things we are looking at are, possibly doing Pine Car races at our Albany store this year and at Uncle Daniel's Pumpkin Patch in the fall. We are also looking at what products in this line to offer in the store and what we would be special ordering for customers from time to time.
From phone calls at talks I have had with folks in the Albany area this past month I am adding to the list for the coming year the idea of bring in art supplies to Building New Worlds but this will have to be down the road a little ways. One step at a time for mow. We are still in the middle is a tight squeeze with the markets right now and I do not want to over load my back end when things are not going out the door very fast right now. We are here to stay here and spending money we do not have right now is not wise. We will keep this on the table for talks at a later time though.
As a reminder to all you locals from Oregon please watch for our store opening back up with nursery season rolls around again. Some time around Easter Finch Family Water Gardens will be opening up for its new season and we will have a spot there as we did last year. I will blog more about this as we get closer to opening. We have not set up this years area yet but it is coming!

Pine Car Race?

2010-01-25T08:55:00.000-08:00

We have been in talks for a few days now about Pine Car and selling these products in the store instead of just taking orders for the products. Seems that most folk don't give themselves time to order anything. They need it right them and there. Along with that we are talking about the possibility of doing our own Pine Car races here at the Nursery a couple of times or so a year if we carry the products in store. What I would like to know is if we do that how many people would be interested in this? Now I know right now not a lot of people are seeing the blog but if I could get a heads up on Pine Car and interest in it that would be a great thing.
We are trying to keep it simple for now on stock until we know what the year is going to be like. Most of the time people get in trouble buying too much and having to sit on it for a long time. Not good for business at all. Trust me, I am sitting on some things that I rather not already...lol.
If we do the races I would like to do work shops also on building Pine Cars. After all, we are heading in the direction of being not only about selling you stuff but teaching people new ways of using the products we carry and some not so new ways for those who need or want to get started. Its always good business to be willing to share what you know I think. My goals for the year is to open up to more work shops for crafting and hobbies. The more you know about our products the better off we all are, right?

New Year, Transformations

2010-01-11T20:49:00.000-08:00

This year Building New Worlds is working on a new web site, a new look for Neo for those business meeting with schools and orgs to get business from them, we hope and there are plans to do some sales this year to kick off the village season for 2010! The only way to get information on up coming sales will be through e-mail so you will need to sign up for those but, you will also get tutorials that no one else gets and you will get news and updates that no one else gets also. Its a whole new proffered customer program.
The Next Generation program is moving ahead even though you might not be seeing the changes yet. Many of the things we are doing right now are all on the back side so that we can roll out new things this year. While we are working on setting things up and we are planning out the final details on some things we will be giving more updates and you will be seeing more video blogs from Neo. Maybe some inside the studio that has been cleaned up again from the long winter.
Look for some new things from Woodland Scenics this year also. they tend to roll out new things all through the year. The new catalog is great and you can get yours from us today. request one when you sign up for the e-mails.

Starting out 2010

2010-01-02T16:36:00.001-08:00

Today I added the finishing touches on PING which was finally getting the setting on all the blogs right so that they would not be filled with micro blogs and status updates every day! That was a lot of cleaning up every time I wanted to post on here.
The Next Generation Project is officially in the first phase now with most of the things in place and ready to go that I intended to have set up for now. The Network has been informed about where to link to in order to find news and updates, current projects and pictures. etc. I feel it will be easier to get everyone on the same page if there is a common place to find that kind of information instead of having to hunt through mountains of threads. The network is a busy place at times.
While I am working out the last few adjustments to the first phase of Next Gen I hope every one will enjoy the things that will take place with BNW in this bright new year!
Thanks
Neo
