Supplier of Notice Me Jeans

About two days ago, my supplier contacted me by phone to make sure we are still building a business relationship. I missed his call and so I called me back today.  They are getting ready to close down the manufacture of butt-lifting jeans for the christmas holidays. Sounds early to me.

Meeting with My business advisor

I am part of a government program that helps individuals launch their business only if it is viable.
I meet with my business advisor today. We meet once a month to talk about my monthly activities and advise her all about Notice Me Jeans and the butt-lifting jeans business.
I advised her, all I have is positive feedback from everyone who encounters the butt-lifting jeans and experience their new enhanced butt.

I feel that I am so ahead of my business advisor and wonder why she is wasting my time with unrealistic advise. I found out about a week ago that, the government has ended the program.
I feel lucky to be part of the program.

Filled With Excitment

Above is a picture of the jeans that I was wearing.

A very positive start, for a positive day with a positive feedback.
I sang a song out loud with no worries in the world.
It did not matter who was listening or watching me sing.
Sang, "I had the whole wide world in my hands, I have the whole wide world... in my hands". I kept on repeating those words.

I had Doctor's appointment at 12pm.
I love going to her office. I only have seen her like three times.
Each time with each visit, I feel calmer. I love being around her.
I love everything about her, her positive vibe and her natural wooden furniture.

She calls my name, I walked into her office.
I was wearing of my butt-lifting Notice Me Jeans, as always, of course.
And that's when she fell in love with them again.

She wastes no time to say, I want your jeans and how can I get a pair.
I was like, okay forget about me I am fine. Besides I have no allergy reaction anyways in the past month. Mind over power. Yup, mind over power. Which is very true.
We were so excited to see each other and we kept going back and froth about my product and my health. We were like kids again.
I showed her my butt-lifting jeans collection on facebook and she fell in love with almost all of the Notice Me Jeans products.
She placed an order of five jeans.

This Saturday, I have an business appointment with her at her office.
That is so cool and she is so cool. Meeting her on her day off, that's how much she loves the butt-lifting jeans collection. I got her personal email and her cell phone.
Check out the album for 2009.

Notice Me Jeans at the Metro Convention Centre

Monday, Oct 10, 2009

Woke up early to attend a small business all day seminar at The Metro Convention Centre.

Arrived late at the registration booth. Got checked in and  I was handed a swag bag with a schedule and other goodies of advertisement.

In between seminars, I saw a lot of familiar faces.   One face that was never forgotten, was one of my College tutors at Seneca.  He had the most beautiful blue eyes, I ever seen. When I saw him again, I knew it was him.  There always something special about those blue eyes. 
I knew, I would seen him again someday and never thought it would be at a small business seminar.  Me (Shirley).. and the whole education system knew my written skills needed a lot of attention. I went to college for Travel and Tourism.  Now, I am currently working for myself. Started an online butt-lifting jeans business, called Notice Me Jeans.

I basicly saw three worlds passing me by all in the same spot.  If you think about, well to me is normal to have these experience for the reader is sort weird and cool.  Listen to the rest of the story.

Alright, so my ex-tutor and I spent half a day together and had enough time to grab lunch before our next session.  After lunch, we headed our separate  ways.  I went one seminar and he went to another one.  Each session was about an hour long.  Just before the hour passes by, I saw another familiar face in the hallway.  This was also very special and familiar face.  It was a powerful experience.  My confidence started build a little more stronger at this point.  We went to the same elementary school.  Again other education system that was a waste of tax money and the teacher were mean.  

Me (Shirley) standing in front of another entrepreneurial.  Both of us were very proud of one another.  He always had the brains in the class.  He walked around with a dictionary and carried with him all the time.  Until this day, I am not sure why he did. 
A) was it because he was very smart and good student
B) he was always got in trouble so he got dentation was writing out pages each after school from the dictionary.

I know "A" was the real answer, I hope. (smile).  At the very end of all, before the end of the day, I headed to the trade show booth.  I saw a other familiar face.   It was also very special one. I only realized this is a very interesting story when I started to write it and it makes a lot of sense.  The other guy at the booth, use to work on the same floor as me.  I was laid off from that company.  That was my last paying job.  Working for my past job made me realized it was time for this Latin Canadian lady make to it on her own.

I saw other people I knew but it was these three faces that made my day.

Paypal offers a new virtual service for any credit card transactions that allows business to charge credit cards from anywhere as long as we have access to the internet. How cool is that.

My favorite topic was paypal. I learned a lot about their services.  
How to apply it to my daily activities for Notice Me Jeans. 
My butt-lifting jeans online business involves around events and mostly jean parties.

Inventory of Notice Me Jeans (Butt-lifting Jeans)

Above picture is a basket full of beautiful Colombian bra straps for sale from $4.99 to $14.99CAD
Please note, I priced about 4 bins of clothing and one bin of butt-lifting jeans.


Priced and labeled my discounted jeans and my other Colombian clothing items for the warehouse sale for October 18, 2009.

Working from the garage in the cold, with a portable heater. Heater was not powerful enough.
I took me almost 6 hours to label all the clothing. Six hours involved, writing out each price tag, sorting the clothing, folding the clothes, sorting the bins and tiding up the garage. Without music, time flew by so fast. So funny, I had my lap top and totally forgot about playing music in the background. I was so happy to know that I was pricing for the first time and working away for my first warehouse that nothing else mattered.

Unbelievable, that is a lot of time involved.
I kept thinking about each item....how much would someone pay of this and how much it cost me so that means, I can sell it at this price. Oh boy, time flew by so fast.
I totally forgot to add my time in the price of each clothing item...
It is very important when it comes to pricing. My time and effort cost money.
Need to remember to pay myself.

Hanging Labels for My Butt-lifting Jeans

Today, was a pretty productive day.

I bought a box of hanging labels to place on my jeans and other clothing items for the warehouse sale on October 18, 2009.
At the store, where I bought the labels, I couldn't decide if I wanted to buy a blue boarder that wraps around the hanging labels to match my logo or a bigger size label that is plain black and white.
I thought about it for the next few minutes as an employee looked at me and said out loud.
"It's only LABELS". Hum, only labels. I looked at him and thought in silence "only labels?"
To me it was more then that. It was something new something special. It was a new experience.
Labels represented, getting closer to my goals, presentation and quality.

I wanted my customers to experience the best clothing for the best price in a representable way. Appearance is very important to me and to my business.
I never had to make a decision about labels and it was a big thing for me.
I get excited when it comes to something new for my business.
No one should take that away from me.

I didn't waste anytime on tackling the clothing items stored in the plastic bins.

While I was in Colombia in July 2009. I met a potential supplier. I bought clothes from the store and I brought back to Toronto to sell. The clothing is very similar to well known brands such as Abercombie, Hollister American Eagle, Pink from Victoria's Secret.
The supplier, Carolina and I will be working very close. Spoke to her today and she is not feeling well. Tomorrow I have to call her up again to follow on the status of starting a new business relationship with her.
