As the seasons change and school goes back in session people once again look at their homes and dream. They remember that project that they've been wanting to do in the kitchen or other area in their home. Winter is coming and all of us will be spending more time inside; we want to enjoy the spaces we come home to. For this reason, every fall the number of inquiries we receive for custom work goes up.
I have found over the last few years that no matter how slow our summer has been, our fall is always busier. It is a great thing. Who doesn't want to have more work when you're a small business.
We've also been lucky enough to have been interviewed for the Small Business Review newspaper recently. Our business will be featured in the October edition, and will hopefully help us keep the fall ball rolling well into the winter and spring season. (I'll be devoting a blog post solely to the article once it's on newsstands.)
Another highlight has come in the form of an invitation for us to display and sell our furniture at the Philadelphia Invitational Furniture show in March. It is something we are still considering, but it looks promising. http://www.philaifs.com/.
