With a lot of my focus on Oberlin and the house recently, I haven't kept up with the blog. So, current status:
1. Sandwich bags - "Dropped by" the Sandy Springs Whole Foods today to see what was going on with my vendor app. Was able to talk face-to-face with Tatjana, who said that the regional grocery coordinator now had the application in hand; her part is finished. It's confusing because Mary in the Duluth store said that they had the authority to add certain items themselves, and that's the impression I had from Susan as well, who declined to take these on at the regional level. Anyway, I will soon have a contact name and email and can follow up with him directly.
2. Wine bags - Had a nice order from Hafner based on the listing I sent him showcasing his wine. Also had a retail order today from one of my networking colleagues. Nevertheless, I think I need to review the construction process to see if I can't get the time down a bit; I had a lot of pushback on the price point. Then I need to continue to expand the sales effort. Cook's Warehouse/Sherlock's (I think that was the name) was suggested this morning.
3. Sleeves - I like the streamlined design and think the price can't be beat. Just need to have a few more samples and rework my catalog.
These are all projects for next week as I'm leaving for Cuba tomorrow, returning next Wednesday evening. And they all take a back seat to cleaning up my workroom which is an absolute disaster. (Not to mention the guest bedroom next door - thank you, Sunny.)
