We've been shortlisted in Worthing Business Awards

Artifax is very very excited to have been nominated and shortlisted as retailer of the year in Worthing's Business Awards.

After years hard work we are realy proud that our customers think we are good enough for this award.

So saturday nigh me and my left and right hand ladies, Anne & Marie are off to the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing for a posh do to see how we do. Fingers very crossed.

It is a fitting end for Anne who after 6 years of being with me has decided to retire, so it will be a fabulous celebration and send off for her. She will be deeply missed.

We are in the middle of preparing some exciting things for Christmas and working on a new shiny web site! so keep checking and I will post next week with hopefully some very exciting news!

oh dear, i've been slacking...............

Well it has been a while since I posted, ive been doing my best to find my next rooftop, but have to confess that i've struggled a bit of late. I need to re-focus and find my path again. I have been to a couple of networking events but haven't really shouted about myself. I have had orders from the previous events so get a grip Tracie springs to mind!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a busy week this week and I am working Saturday so this is my chance to get back into the swing of things.

I WILL report back with some much more positive news very soon!!!

Happy Easter to you all

facebook

i've just been looking at my facebook thread, I do use it for business to communicate but I just wondered what your thoughts were about businesses using it as an 'in your face' marketing platform? I personally don't feel it sits quite right. Would love to know what any of my followers think??

Thanks Google

I work 1 in 4 Saturdays and its my turn this week. Saturdays for us are the quietest day and I was trying to get myself motivated this morning and wondering if those busy fairies would be coming my way today.

Then came a phone call from someone needing an urgent leaflet order, nothing strange about that you may think, but he was in an airport in France about to board his flight to Gatwick desperately needed leaflets printing, so he googled and found us!!!!

I am now printing his order as we speak for him to collect this afternoon.
so thanks google and thank you to Ian from www.wikivorce.com for the order.

Happy Saturday to all you lucky people chilling at home!!!

I'm twittering!!!

I am now on twitter, all this social networking stuff gets verrrrrrrrrry addictive!!

I have this evening decided to follow jason bradbury from the gadget show - only on twitter i'm not stalking him ;-) and guess what he is now following me!! I have absolutely no idea what it all means but I am VERY excited to be followed by a celebrity, a gadget master :-)

well maybe just maybe he might need t-shirts for some important event, see my glass is floating around again!!!

back to twitter ............ see ya

you get out what you put in

I am such a huge believer in 'you get out what you put in' I try every day to put this in to practise in my business (and personal) life, its great when it comes together.

I had heard of a new business opening in Worthing who was on facebook - which I have become a bit obsessed with!- I sent her a message to wish her luck with her new business and offered her support, I think all of us small businesses should stick together and help each other, I also introduced her to my business. Well today she needed one of my services urgently and we were delighted to be able to help.

So a HUGE good luck wish to www.vintagegowns .co.uk who are soon to be opening in Worthing and a big thanks for supporting me. :-)

I must say one last big thank you today to team grasshopper the organic porridge girls who inspired me to do this, I am going to send them an email to say thanks.

Happy weekend to you all
