Missouri State Spotlight

2012-02-22T13:24:00.000-08:00

Last summer Missouri State interviewed me for thier Alumni Spotlight. The article was supposed to run in their Fall 2011 edition, but for some reason it wasn't and I thought they had decided to scrap the article.

Well, this morning, I got a nice shock when a swarm of customers came into the store and told me that they saw me in the Missouri State Magazine. One sweet lady even ripped out the page and gave it to me!

The only thing I wish they had done differently was to print Room 5's web address. They did provide a link in the digital version at least!

Here's the link to the article: (and be sure to click around on thier website -MSU is a great college!!)

Room 5 now carries Beanpod Soy Candles!

Via

This was also Aaron's first "buying" experience for Room 5! (I am a proud wife/business owner :0) )

Earlier this spring we were on a weekend trip to Kansas City and had some time to kill before our dinner reservations, so we decided to stop by a large retailer to "scope out the competition." Ha! Just kidding, I actually didn't have the slightest bit of business on my mind - I was on vacation! So, here I am, in my own little shopping world, completely wrapped up in this throw pillow that I'm trying to decide if I can duplicate the pattern - but in my preferred colors, when Aaron and his sister spot a candle display. So we mosey on over and to check it out and to our great surprise these candles are FANTASTIC!

Aaron immediately tells me that Room 5 needs to carry these. Vacation buzz gone... Back to business I go.

I already have a candle line that I like. The scents are great but if I'm being honest, the packaging is rather dull. And every retailer knows, to make a sale, its imperative that you first be able to catch the customer's eye. Beanpod Candles have a simple clean packaging that is at the same time beautiful and doesn't take away from the product; the scents are fantastic and the colors are gorgeous. To top it all off the price point is excellent.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and I am meeting with the local Representative from Beanpod. I learned that Beanpod is a local (Midwest - Iowa) company and they use local soybeans from local soybean farmers. Even better! I try very hard to look first to Local and then Made in the U.S.A products/companies for items when possible. Next thing I knew, I was trying my best to narrow down my choices from approximately 65 scents and about 15 color options. Not an easy task, let me tell you!! But I am in LOVE with my final selection.

The scents of Beanpod Candles currently available at Room 5 are:

All scents are available in two convenient size options:

4.5oz is the perfect way to try out a new scent or for a small pick-up/hostest gift! $9.50
16oz is the perfect size for filling your whole house with your favorite fragrance! $19.50

It's All Zeros

2011-01-05T11:37:00.000-08:00

Well, the start of a new calender year brings the start of a new fiscal year for Room 5. When I turned on my computer on the Monday morning after the New Year's Holiday and opened my Point of Sale program, I knew I would look at my sales page and see an empty screen. And I thought I had prepared myself for the loneliness that would spill out of my monitor when I did. But I hadn't. I looked at that page and I saw no evidence of my hard work over these last 6 months that my doors have been open.

What do I mean by "loneliness"? How do "sales," or the evidence of them from a computer program's screen, keep you from being "lonely"? Well, seeing all those numbers on my screen showed me that people loved to come here, enjoyed being here and bought something to remember their time here. Yes, I know I am not an amusement park or an awesome beach vacation town. But, I am a "destination." Room 5 is not located in a mall where hundreds of thousands of people walk by hourly and decide on a whim to stop in and check out what the "new kid" has to offer. I am a single business; on my own; that someone must choose to get into their car and drive to. And I am proud of what I have brought to life. So I feel like an amusement park, or a hot vacation destination that people are excited to go to.

This is what I saw that sad, sad day:

Nothing!

Now, tell me that doesn't make you feel lonely!!

So, now I am busy looking at spring/summer catalogs, trying to find the best merchandise to order, for the sole purpose of bringing back all those round and shiny numbers that I love so much!!

Oh, and the people!

And with this new year, I promise to resume a more full blog publishing schedule. I can't wait to show you all the new inventory you will be seeing at Room 5!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

How To Move A Tree

2010-12-10T11:22:00.000-08:00

Have you every moved a tree on your own? Well I have. And it was not easy!

I moved my tree from here:

To here:

Oh, you thought I was talking about a real tree! Nope, just my Christmas Tree!!

As you can see, the tree is a wee bit small for the space! I am using my tree from home for this Christmas Season. And then, during the After Christmas Sales, I will purchase a better one for the space - at a discounted price! But for now, this one is working just fine!

So back to tree moving...

I was worried about how I was going to get the tree from the back of the store to the front, without disassembling it OR scratching my floors!

So, I found a cardboard box that was big enough to fit under the stands, flattened the box, and then very carefully, tipped each corner of the stand up just enough to slip the cardboard under. Then, once it was centered under the tree I scooted it across the floor! It worked perfectly!!

Now that the tree was moved I had to switch all the Christmas Accessories from the front to the back as well. This was a big 2-day job.

But, it all turned out great!

Local Artists

2010-11-04T15:17:00.000-07:00

Kelly at Kelly's Korner Blog is hosting her weekly Show Us Your Life and this week it is Show Us What You Make.

Well, I don't make anything; BUT I absolutely love to SELL what other people make!!

My mission, when I opened my boutique, Room 5, was to find and sell fun, unique items that people couldn't get anywhere else. My original business plan didn't include individual artist's hand-made work, but it defiantly does now!!

I love to scour other people's blogs and find fun, unique items. And when I find something that interests me and that I know will interest my customers I jump at the opportunity to start a business relationship with that artist. And, almost from the fist, I have had local artists stop by to see if I am interested in what they have to offer. My boutique is starting to become known for selling local artist's works of love!!

Here are some of the more popular items.

Goat Mill Stuff. I absolutely love this "stuff!"

Goat Milk Stuff. Prices ranging from $3.50 - $18.00

Handmade jewelry:

Amelia Bennett Jewelry: Prices ranging from $20 - $35

Hand painted Watercolors:

Nina Lewis Watercolors: Prices ranging from $35 - $45

Gourmet Food Mixes: So Delicious!!!!!!

JD Farms: Brownie, Chocolate Chip, and Hot Cocoa Mixes $12.50

This last group is what got the whole "local artist" thing started for Room 5. I carry my mother-in-laws baby cloths and accessories in my boutique, and when people found out that they were handmade and NOT by me, they got curious to see if I would be interested in carrying other people's handmade creations!

Of Course!!! I'm always interested in new avenues to take my business and this has been a great one!!

Handmade (embellished) Baby Clothing and accessories:

Stitches by Shaylynn: Tie Onesie and Matching Burp Cloth: $15.50 and $9.50

Stitches by Shaylynn: Necklace Onesie and matching Burp cloth: $16.50 and $9.50

Handmade baby quilts:

Stitches by Shaylynn: Handmade quilt and 3 matching burp cloths. $125.00

Be sure to check out her blog to see what other great things she makes!! Were talking super-hero capes, large, amazing and unique quilts and so much more!!!

Shopping Bags, Jewelry Boxes and Stickers. Oh My!!

2010-10-28T08:42:00.000-07:00

So, I ran out of these about a week ago:

Which is a good thing!! That means I've been selling my inventory!!!

Well, since I ran out of them I've been using these (on hand for just this occasion!):

About 2 weeks ago I placed an order for this:

Just as a trial for the Christmas Gift season. My plan is, if they do well, then I will carry them full time.

So I needed some of these:

Specialized jewelry boxes (with my business logo hot stamped on them) are ~~a little~~ A LOT out of my price range for something that is "a test product." Their kinda boring though aren't they? Just wait...

My Hot Stamped shopping bags, which (once again) are these:

Take about 3 weeks to get to me.

I can't NOT have my business's logo on my shopping bags. This is another opportunity for advertising that I HAVE to take advantage of.

So I needed to kill two birds with one stone.

Or Should I say sticker:

Apparently 1000 stickers are faster to print and ship than 100 bags. That math doesn't really add up for me. But what do I know - I married a CPA so that I don't have to think about pesky things like 2+2.

But look what they do:

You order 1000 of these puppies (that is the minimum amount allowed), pay for 1000 of these puppies and then they make it where you can't use at least 3 of them! Normally this would not be a big deal, but, if you haven't noticed, we just recently ended a major recession (though I still need to see proof!) so I am still counting my pennies. Literally. But don't worry, I was able to finesse the annoying, defacing top-sticker off without any damage to my labels. Phew!!

So this was my project for the day:

I couldn't decide how I wanted the jewelry boxes to look, so I submitted this photo to various friends and family members for voting.

This was the outcome:

These bags will do nicely until I receive my new shipment on Monday. And I really like how the jewelry boxes turned out - I think this might be the permanent look for these!!

And if my bags arrive earlier, then my "sticker bags" can double as Trick-Or-Treat bags for the neighborhood kids. Nothing like free advertising, am I right?!?!

Oh, and the jewelry - it's doing some serious butt-kicking! I think it's proven that it can be a permanent department!!!

Thinkpoint Virus

2010-10-26T11:58:00.000-07:00

Sunday I (or rather, my computer) contracted a virus. The infamous Thinkpoint Virus. It doesn't do any damage - at least that I have found - but it is quite annoying. From my research (a.k.a. Googling) I have learned that it affects Windows 9x, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7. (I've never even heard of 9x!). When I purchased this computer four months ago, I installed the "best" (according to current ratings) antivirus software that I could find; so I've felt pretty safe. Daily, I get messages that it is tracking and deleting cookies, stopping threats and, basically, holding down the fort.

Well, Sunday it failed. The walls were breached.

Here's how it went down: I had some down time so I was engrossed in an online article detailing past celebritie's Halloween costumes. Did you know that Pink went as clown in 2008? You didn't? Well, now ya do - happy to enlighten you! Anyway, I was deeply entrenched in my article when all of the sudden my browser closed! What the heck?! How dare it?! I was only on number 7 of 50 - I hadn't even gotten to Kim Kardashian yet!

Before I could call my husband to complain, my antivirus software (or what I THOUGHT was my antivirus software) popped up and told me I was being attacked by a Trojan Horse and to click NEXT for it to proceed in burning the horse and all those pesky Greeks hiding inside it. So I did; my software hadn't failed me yet - I trusted it! Well, dang-it, the Greeks won and Troy was breached (but not destroyed! HA!). (Homer was a great story teller, wasn't he?!) Well, the thing about a Trojan Horse is... IT'S A TROJAN HORSE. DUH!!

Two seconds after I clicked NEXT I had doubts, but I still believed in my antivirus software; so I pushed those doubts to the side. "It'll protect me if I'm doing something wrong," I thought. Well, I thought wrong; to say the least. The next thing I knew a window popped up saying "Windows Thinkpoint Is Not Functioning, Click To Learn More." Yeah Right! Fool Me Once and all that jazz...

At that point I realized that it was not my antivirus software that had popped up to warn me of an attack, but instead it was the virus itself saying "Hello Everybody." I had gone ahead and downloaded the virus. (Thinkpoint disguises itself as your antivirus software).

Come right in, Mr. Serial Killer - would you like some milk and cookies before you chop my head off?

AGHHH! I WAS SO ANNOYED WITH MYSELF. You have NO idea. My dad has an obsession with computers. I was setting at his desk learning how to double-click a mouse when other kids were learning to spell their names with crayons. I KNOW what to look for!!

So, realizing my stupidity; I stopped everything and began closing out of my Point of Sale program (normally I would just force shutdown, but I run my business from this computer and had credit card sales to batch out.) PROBLEM: This virus plops a big blue box smack-dab in the middle of your screen so you can only see about two inches around it. So it took some minimizing and maneuvering, but I was finally able to close my Point of Sale, batch-out my sales and shut down. (Upon further googling, I learned that Thinkpoint is known for "prohibiting restarting or turning off your computer." Lucky for me, I was able to shut down without any problems).

My next step was to call Geek Squad (they are expensive and the only reason I called them is because I have my computer under warranty with Best Buy - so they are the ones I have paid in advance to fix any problems). Well, come to find out - my warranty only covers hardware and NOT VIRUSES! And to top it all off - it's going to cost me $300.00 to fix! This is totally not my day - but the kicker is... It totally WAS my day, I was kicking butt in sales. And then this happened.

So, as you can imagine, (and not blame me for - right, honey?!) I am in extreme freak-out mode by this point and have begun pulling out my hair. You can ask my husband how bad it was - he had on full riot-gear in self-defense. Sorry, babe :(

After he calmed me down - not an easy task - he told me he had been Googling on his iPhone and there were tons of blogs and websites talking about this virus and they are all giving the same explanations and directions of how to remove this virus.

Side note: In the past, he has not been the most computer savvy person - he successfully deleted Windows from his family's home computer in High School. I don't even remember what he was trying to do, but it defiantly wasn't that!

Side note #2: I wrote the above side note really small on purpose, so that maybe he won't see it and get mad at me for revealing an embarising family secret!

So, to say the least, I was wary. But, "What the heck," I thought. "My computer is already shot and I had an appointment scheduled with Geek Squad for early Monday morning. If he completely wipes out my hard drive, my scheduled Geek will fix it."

Well, the kid has learned something. After about an hour he successfully removed Thinkpoint and my computer is non the worse for wear! So I stood-up my Geek-date (not really, I had to give a 24 hr cancel notice) and got to keep my $300.00! Woo Hoo!!

There were many websites and blogs that we read, but here are two that we kept coming back to: www.precisesecurity.com/rogue/think-point/
and

Goat Milk Stuff

2010-10-18T11:25:00.000-07:00

Not too long ago, while ~~blog hopping~~ working, I learned about a company that makes soap and other bath and body products from goat milk whey. "Interesting," I said to myself. I had to find out more; I am really starting to get into this "natural" thing - and that is exactly what this company is all about: Natural! Upon further investigation, I learned that this company, Goat Milk Stuff, is a Husband and Wife team along with their 8! children - amazing in itself. And they offer their products for sale in a wholesale program in order to sell their very cool "stuff" to companies just like Room 5! Perfect!!! I am always looking for unique companies and products to put in Room 5... and I've definitely found another one!! (I totally just patted myself on the back... again. ;) )

I just received my first, of what I hope will be many, shipments. I am so excited about these products and I wanted to make sure you all knew about them!

This is what my display looks like. I have it set up right next to my register so that everyone will get a chance to see it.

And now for the details!

Once I receive the rest of my Fall/Halloween Merchandise I plan to do a post you show all of you "My Favorite Things" to highlight, well, my favorite things!

But I just couldn't wait to show you this:

Pumpkin Man $4.50

My Pumpkin Man! Isn't he so freakin' cool!!

Yeah, he is...

He is only 4 inches tall and loves to hang off the sides of bowls:

And, if your not careful; you'll only see him climbing out of the cookie jar:

But, of course, by that time it's too late and all of the treats are already gone!

Check back soon for "My Favorite Things" post; which will include this as well:

Onesies and Bibs by Stitches by Shaylynn

Aren't they so freakin' cute!

Yeah, they are!

Ok, I have to stop now! Otherwise, there will be no need to do a " My Favorite Things" post!!
