What to do???

I feel like my feet are stuck in cement - we need to sell down on our inventory of shirts to move forward with our business and of course to pay the bills that keep coming in. But how? We had a saleswoman take out shirts to two "Mommies Who Shop" events and she was able to sell one shirt. One shirt is just not cutting it. We have put the shirts on sale recently and notified our customers via Facebook Fan updates and still no takers - we just haven't figured out a good way to get women to our site. Right now we are toying with the idea of placing an ad on a blog that has high traffic of women views, but we have never had luck with advertising so we are a bit leery of the idea. So the question is -"what to do?" How in the world do we move our inventory? Do we risk blowing more money on advertising? or do we use that money to pay the bills? HELP!!!!

Cheers,
Jennifer(and Sarah)

It's Been So Long

It's been awhile since I blogged - I came on because I was just checking my email, and Facebook before I headed off to bed. To my surprise there was a comment posted under our last blog - and it was dated April 20th!!! Our first comment since we set up the blog and I didn't even see it until today - June 1st - hopefully Stephanie will understand that it wasn't anything personal. I haven't had a lot to blog about lately, but I am back... what can I share? Times are tough out there and if anyone had some great suggestions on how to get women to our website - we would love to hear them - although a friend of mine told me over the weekend we should try sending out some sample shirts to magazines - so I think we might start doing that again and keep our fingers crossed. We haven't had much success with that in the past, but it would be worth a shot to try it again. Well, its getting late - good night!

Cheers,
