Happy Labor Day Weekend

This is actually my first Jersey Girl Couture Blog.  I am so excited to start doing this.  There are so many exciting things going on the JCG.  We took the whole summer to test market our products by doing street fairs and craft shows.  I have to say I have met a lot of wonderful customers along the way.  Being out on the front line really shows me what you guys like and what you don't.  It is really nice from the designing end to see peoples reaction to the clothing.  We also had our big debut with Zulily at the beginning of August.  In the short time since Jersey Girl was born we have been through a lot.  Down the road I will fill you on the drama that transpired when the company was first started.  You won't believe it when I tell.  The only thing I can say is never do business with "friends"  and I use the term loosely.  But on to bigger and better subjects.
Now that all the kiddies are gearing up to get back to school it is time to get down to business.  I am launching a really aggressive program to recruit sales people.  We are offering all new sales reps positions with no financial investment.  We are also doing a bonus in September to all the reps.  Any rep that you recruit in September you will receive a $50.00 signing bonus for each one.  Starting next week we will begin our weekly sales calls to keep all of the current reps and potential reps updated on what's new in regard to merchandise, what's coming in and what type of specials we have running.  It will also be a great time for the reps to ask questions and for everyone to share their feedback on what is going on in their business.  I am very excited to start this and i will let all the reps know what the date and time for the call will by the end of the weekend.


So on a personal note.. It was my birthday yesterday and I really had a fantastic day.  I went to Atlantic City the night before with 3 out of 4 kids and the hubby.  We had a gorgeous suite sitting on the Ocean.  The 5 of us went out to a great dinner and then Jerry took the kids to the room and rented movies while Mommy played.  We woke up and had Hooters for breakfast (before you ask no they don't serve breakfast we had buffalo shrimp).  Came home and spent the day with the rest of my family.  Today I took my kids and my niece down to the beach and met my Mom and sister.  The beach was beautiful.  I have to say I LOVE living by the water.  Not sure what we are doing the rest of the weekend but I have to try and get the kids to bed at some sort of reasonable time the next couple of days because they will be starting school on Tuesday.  
Hope everyone has a great weekend and I will talk to you all later
XOXO
