Vendor Lesson Numero Uno
Don't name your company a name that can't be easily Google-searched. Seems obvious, but after spending the last week or so Googling potential vendors for their contact information, I can't tell you how frustrating it is to try to find companies named "Cake" or "Cat's Dogs." Well...in actuality, it's not all that frustrating as I simply cross them off the list after about 30 seconds of effort. No skin off my nose. Or anywere else, but "jeez"...what a fatal error for a small manufacturer!
In other name news, The Scarlet Conservatory is a big hit with several of the vendors who've e-mailed me back. Way to go, J-Frox. As the semi-retarded mailroom guy at Penguin used to say, "You're a good person."
You're also a good store namer.
So put that in le pip.
UPDATE: Best Vendor Name of the Day - Established & Sons. Crikeys - leave it to the Brits to come up with something so achingly acerbic yet so jean genius. Now that's what I call a banger-up job.
