After two magazines, four websites and eleven years in business, I've decided to jump on the blog bandwagon.

Be patient, I'm just learning!

I hope to bring you ideas for how to succeed with your specialty retail business, whether it be a kiosk or cart in a mall or airport, or a small gift shop in a local shopping center. I've been doing this for several years, through all the ups and downs, and I know what I've learned can help you run a profitable business.

I'm going to be adding tips, ideas and general information on a daily basis, so watch for new categories in the sidebar <—-.

If you'd like to ask me a question, or propose an idea for a post, please stick it in the comments box and I will respond as quickly as I can.

I hope this can become a forum for retailers and wholesalers, where ideas and thoughts can be freely exchanged.

Thanks for reading.
