First of all we would like to thank everyone at NARTS for putting on yet another great Conference.  The location could not have been better, and from what we’ve heard and read from various attendees the content of the sessions was extremely useful. Kudos to Gail, Adele, and the entire Board of Directors!  We know everyone is already looking for next year.

Secondly we want to thank everyone who stopped by our booth to say hello, discuss prior and/or potential purchases, and to throw out some ideas on how we can improve our product line to best serve the Resale/Consignment Store Industry.  We can assure you that your ideas are taken to heart and heavily considered as we update our product line.

All next day orders come with our satisfaction guarantee and no-hassle return policy. And as always, if you find a lower advertised price on an identical product at a competitor or competitor’s website, we will match that price.

Last year, Store Supply rolled out a blog for independent retailers. It was our goal to develop a place where retailers could find information about the industry and could ask questions about retail design and supplies.

After being live for a year, we have reviewed our blogging efforts and listened to feedback about what our customers liked and didn’t like. It was clear that you wanted a space that was more interactive and directly spoke to what was going on in the retail industry.

That is why we are rolling out an enhanced design and format for the Store Supply blog. Including:

• Interactive polls asking for feedback about products and services
• A Q&A section
• A section featuring our current popular products
• More industry news
• Videos about our customers and products

Most of all, we want your feedback about the types of articles that you want to see. So please leave a comment to let us know what type of information you want to see on the Store Supply Blog. And fill out the poll to the right of this article.
