For quite some time now (March 17, 2006 to be precise) I've been laboring under the mistaken belief that business had gone to hell and through some strange phenomena my store was the only one being affected. I've sat off to the sidelines waiting patiently for the numbers to come back up, tried the occasional "sale" or somesuch to get people to come inside at anywhere near the numbers that they had been before that fateful day in March but nothing worked. I've never been a huge volume seller, fact is, I'm basically brand new at this, opening my store in November of last year and gradually building up to the point that I was making nearly 1-2 sales a day...until...well...you know. After that fateful day sales slumped to maybe 1 per week. I still don't know what the hell happened, but at least I now know that I'm not the only one that it happened to and if it means anything to anyone else out there, I know your pain and I feel your confusion and I believe that the end is in sight because I'm slowly climbing back up, clawing and scratching my way to 2 nay 3 sales a week! Somewhere...over the rainbow....
