When life hands you phonebooks...

Jun 26, 2004 08:19

When business gets slow during the summer months at an art supply store things get boring. Sometimes mind-numbingly boring. It's during these instances you must make the decision- think of something to do, or go slowly mad. Settlers coined this term 'cabin fever' and it's not too terribly fun. Now you may be asking yourself 'Well, why don't you ( Read more... )

Fucking hell yeah! I love your game!You need to do demos of this in front of the store...I am sure that the biddies will find it offensive...but others will be intrigured...

I wish we were this slow, yet I don't. We're so busy. It has not stopped! THIS IS JUNE! And we're busy...I shouldn't complain though right?

The oil bars arrived today. I have to use them. There are too many piggies on the road right now. I will most likely stay where I am tonight and work on them in the morning...look at all the little piggies...grr...

Have fun with those oil bars :) Some trivia: The son of the owner of Texas Art Supply owns the company MisterArt.com... A very enterprising group of people...and diverse! Amongst their business ventures and friendly takeovers you'll find banks, restaurants and exotic strip clubs.

hey
I wondered about that...seriously! So does that mean that I have sold my soul? Are these people the next walmart? What banks, restuarants and strip clubs do they own? heh!

Here is an idea for work: Can you people do instore demos with the art supplies while you're bored? That might help move merchandise. It will also alleviate the stress of boredom and satisfy your curiosity. There has to be something that you haven't used before. Just a suggestion. I hated retail because I always found ways to keep busy.

Umm yeah we 'demo' the art supplies but not for the customers benefit.

No one needs to know this. As long as you make it LOOK as though you CARE! that is all that really matters, right? I mean they make it seem as though they pay you! At least that is my situation. Anyway, I just think you need to draw portraits or cartoons of the biddies that come up for their watercolor classes, put them in provincial scenes and of course do this when they don't know what you're doing...You could do a show based on this...;-)

What is the name of the strip clubs that the Mr.Art/Texas Art people own? Mr. Strip? Ms. Texas Titty Twister? Texas Pinkies?
I am intrigued by this. Do they have all in one stores too? Art supplies, personal view booths, stripper wear and a restuarant all under one roof?
The midwestern art supply chains needs to get more savvy and cross promote like these people do!
