Hello and welcome to my 3rd post on the stores blog.
Today I want to tell a little story about one of the stores clients. Last week I had a woman who popped in with 2 friends of hers. They had never been into the store before and they were both enchanted by what we had to offer. They were especially fascinated by the little porcelain birds that I have in stock. The birds are designed by a woman here in Cape Town and she send them off to China where they are slip caste and sent back here and sold locally. The company is called LUNA C.
The woman and her fiernds, all in turn bought a few birds and we wrapped them for her and her friends and they left the store.
The next day the woman was back. She said she was so happy with the little birds that she wanted to buy some more. She said that she had gone out for dinner and had given one of the birds as a thank you gift. She said the gift was so well received that she wanted to have more to use as thank you gifts. She also told me that her friend had called her bird FRED and now she back to buy more FRED'S. So the birds have now been christened FREDS.
Today she popped back in with a whole new bunch of friends. This time her friends were visiting from Durban and they once again bought some more FREDS, plus a whole lot of other porcelain pieces that we have in stock.
So this is just a thank you to that customer for loving our store and bring her friends back to buy FREDS.
