As we ended 2007, we were thankful for all of the support and kind words of our customers, friends and family. Since 2004, when we launched our e-boutique, we’ve been seeing sales increasing annually which is a wonderful testament to how far fair trade has been growing.
I wanted to share some www.World-Shoppe.com New Year’s resolutions with you so you can become more involved in our company’s growth, too!
1) Reach out to more customers to communicate the importance of fair trade
2) Educate more American consumers about our artisan partners and their handmade products.
3) Better merchandise and tell the story of our artisan partners at our new retail shop at the Andersonville Galleria (5247 N. Clark Street in Chicago’s popular Andersonville neighborhood).
4) Post blog entries more regularly so our customers and friends can hear and learn about things happening in our www.World-Shoppe.com community.
5) Continue to be involved in our local non-profit organization, Chicago Fair Trade. As an active board member, I feel we’re stronger as a team and we can do so much when we involve others! You can learn more about the group by visiting www.ChicagoFairTrade.org.
6) Continue to find great, high quality, handmade items from more artisan groups all over the world for our customers.
Think we’re missing something? Please let us know. Fair trade is more than just great handmade items from artisans – it’s about living. It’s about sharing our neighbor’s cultures and heritages with others. It’s about sharing. It’s about giving and receiving more than just physical and tangible products.
I’m excited to be a part of this movement and hope you’ll be right there with me this year.
Until next time…
