Rule number one in small business ownership: Learn something new each day by listening to those with more experience!
Sometimes, just sometimes, I really should listen to suggestions from our vendors. One of our top selling items, the lined sarongs, comes from a darling company and I purchase them through a lovely woman named Julien. For the last year, each and every time I place an order with her, she suggests we try and sell their inflatable pillows. I repeatedly turn down, ignore, or blatantly refuse her suggestion. Sometime last Spring, in a momentary lapse of judgement, I said, “oh, ok send me 20 pillows in a few colors.”

I should have believed she knew her product.
Sold out in less than 48 hours!
People LOVE these pillows and buy them not only for the beach but the pool, the lake, the tub, and even the airplane! Their compact size and ability to fit easily into your pocket, purse, or bag coupled with their $19 price point makes them one of our most recent top sellers.
To the lovely Julien, I owe you a tremendous “thank you” for your persistence in suggesting we carry these inflatable pillows. I will thank you personally when we see you in Paris in two weeks!
