Wow....i've been gone for a very long time. Do apologise once again for hiding under the rock. Handling a webstore has really been a very tedious task BUT i've enjoyed it.
I turn back and look at The Scrapbook Carton and it looks bigger now, we have more items on the store and we are looking for new sources of scrapbooking materials that you all love and how we can bring it in at much lower cost and share the savings.
This being election season in Singapore and we are being so caught up in which party to vote for. I would love to have my own version of my manifesto for The Scrapbook Carton that we are already there and working towards.
The Scrapbook Carton's 2011 3 Manifesto
1) Keep the webstore a webstore
Why are we doing that? Isn't it better to have a brick and mortar store for us to ransack and touch/feel all the lovely scrapbooking materials? Yes, it is good to see what you are actually buying.
But look at it this way, when the next time you are in any physical store and just turn your head and look upwards and just stare at the light bulb(not too long, or you might go blind. haha!), wondered what is keeping that light bulb on? What about the cool air that you are feeling which is gushing out of the shopping centre's air conditioning? Someone must be paying to keep all these things there for you to enjoy your shopping experience. Especially in Singapore, we all know rents aren't cheap and all these flow down to the end consumer.
For us, keeping it a webstore helps us to really keep things low and we really look to passing on this benefit to our consumers so that can get more materials for all their works.
2) More.
This is simple, more discounts, more promos, more products. More of what we all love.
3) Enjoy while we are at it
In life we are always facing challenges and difficulties, we can't possibly have lesser problems cause this is totally part and parcel of life. Since we are here, just make sure we all enjoy what we do. We really love it when you guys get a good deal from us and enjoy your scrapbooking. Of course, i have seen the commercial aspect of this industry and I really want to shield it all from it cause it can get ugly.
Just remember, we are the masters of our own destiny and we can always make a choices. When you are scrapping, make sure you are really enjoying it. That's what scrapping is all about. Don't lose why we are scrapping for. It's love, it's family, it's friends, it's all about the ones we hold dear.
Enjoy. Don't forget.
Well, this is more or less what I want to achieve in the next 6 months for The Scrapbook Carton.
Do vote The Scrapbook Carton! opps! Sorry I mean, Do support The Scrapbook Carton for being Cheaper, More Supplies and More Enjoyable.
