You know what attracts me when I go to trade shows? Not the colourful banners but the trade show flooring, trade show carpet and logo mats.
I may miss looking at the banners because they are too common already but I will surely not miss looking at something that I stepped on! It is not a common thing for us to step on something nice. Do you step on flowers? No right. So, when we are “forced” to step on something nice, we will take time to look what we are stepping at. I think this is a genius way of advertisement.
I think I should order one logo mat for hubby’s internet cafe. 
My dad wanted me to be a lawyer but I was never interested in becoming one. Don’t have the brain for it too. He was so happy that I married one; a retired lawyer. hahaha. Not a retired Austin personal injury lawyer from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949 but he left the profession after 3 years practicing due answering to his higher calling. I don’t think it will be fun marrying a lawyer. Being a future lawyer girlfriend was not fun at all. Always busy. And I don’t think I want to hear the problem that he has to solve everyday.
We have enough of just earning enough every month. We need to do something to increase our sales. Praying – Checked.
Promotion – Also checked. What else can we do? More promotions? GOPromos carries a lot of promotional item like pen, keychain, tumbler, pendrive, promo mugs etc. If only we have extra cash for that. I know that it takes money to make more money but we are not into borrowing coz we believe in living a life of financial freedom. We have faith that God will bless us pretty soon. By then, we might afford to engage Amsterdam Printing to make a new signboard for our internet cafe because the current signboard has faded. Btw, if any of you looking for cheap printing, come over to my shop ya.
Yesterday we bought a few LED Monitors for hubby’s shop. The LED monitor comes with free bluetooth stereo headset but we do not require it. If we put it at our CC, chances of it going missing is very high coz it is small. Furthermore the computers does not have bluetooth. If can get free 32gb ipod touch, that will be great. Thank God the supplier agreed to buy over the bluetooth stereo headset to sell at his computer shop.

Sling Bags with recessed zipper.
Bikini Top Shoulder Bag and Reversible Bag.
These are my latest handmade bags for one of my friends in FB. I am sure most of you think that business is good for me. The truth, I hardly get orders compared to the first time I started selling my reversible bag. It is because, I have no time to promote my handmade bags. My profit is very low too because I am selling them cheap. Not even enough to buy me a blackberry playbook. Furthermore, there will be yet another phase in my life in a month time and I doubt I will have time to sew. If I promote my handmade bags and get lots of order but cannot fulfill the orders, it won’t make me look good.
When I am ready, I will go all out to promote my handmade bags online. A mommy blogger has offered to help too. She receives thousands of unique visitors a week! Hard to decline this good opportunity. hehehe.
If you follow this blog, you will know that my husband is running a cyber cafe. Besides providing internet services, we provide photocopying, laminating, scanning, typing, printing, binding and faxing too. The most high maintenance item in the shop is the photocopier. The spare parts are quite costly. Hubby is so glad that he just discovered a local webstore that is selling photocopier spare parts and ink for a way cheaper price than his current supplier.
The computers in the shop needs upgrading too. Monitors need to be changed, RAM needs to be upgraded, and we need more headphones too. Thanks to Cyber Monday, we can get the items that we need at a very attractive price.
All Bintang shopping centre here in Melaka have been taken over by Giant. I don’t mind if they just take over the management and leave everything else as it is. Instead, they took away the best part of Bintang Supermarket where we can find almost everything that my kitchen needs. Now, Bintang is just like Giant. I am find if they just changed the barcode scanner. Instead they changed the pricing too. It is much more expensive than Bintang prices. I want my Bintang back! 
To date, I have sold 14 handmade bags. 
I started a month ago just for the fun of it and I was surprised that many like the design. Well, 14 may sounds a lot to you but it is hard work and the profit does not compliment the time I put in to sew each bag; not enough to buy a bottle of fat burner. Furthermore, I sew using my MIL’s antique hand sewing machine and due to it, my shoulder pain returned! Thank God I do not have any more orders now. I can rest my shoulder and sew something new. 
Finally we decided to employ a fulltime staff coz hubby wants to commit himself to more mission works. The staff is one of our regular customers. He works in a CC before this but resigned due to the long working hours; 24/7! Whatever it is, I just hope that he is going to be an honest person; not stealing and no lying. Our previous staffs were dishonest. Whenever hubby was not able to be at the CC, the sales dropped tremendously. Reason given by them, “No Customer.” We can’t do much about it coz not everything sold in our CC can be stock checked. I also hope that he will stay long coz hubby is paying him quite high compared to before. He can even afford to further his studies to cosmetology schools in Wichita if he knows how to save. We shall just wait and see.
