I try not to use my personal journal merely to shill for my store. But do you guys realize that we are running Fantastic Sales for January? I mean it.
The stuff in the clearance bin, already marked down, is 75% off of the last marked price. Which makes the postcards, for example, nine cents each.
The sterling silver chains, many of them already less expensive than you'd find most places (because we bought them before the silver market started yo-yoing) are 40% discounted. For example, a 24 inch sterling rope chain is marked at $12. With discount, that means it's $7.20. Go look it up if you don't believe me that that's an exceptional price.
In fact, *everything* is marked down at least 15%.
Why? Because we knew January would make a great sucking noise, between the weather and the economic fear, and because January always sucks for retail. But if you want a reason to show up, we're giving you one.
This isn't the end for us, but we do still need to pay our rent. And to make way for new stock; we will have lots of new jewelry for Valentine's Day, since it's just after the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
