Hi,

I have a small biz for selling impoted gifts from Egypt. Mainly papyrus, jewelry and home decor items (christmas ornaments, handmade glassware, alabaster jars, and gass perfume bottles).
For the past year I have been selling online through our web site www.egyptiangiftstore.com
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to sell face to face at trade shows, swap meets, flea markets and the like.
What would be a good venue to start with, I am looking for something within driving distance of Atlanta, GA and with clients that are retail consumers or small shop owners looking to buy wholesale.

Thanks.

Management keep acting like even though we aren’t making the numbers, everything is fine. All of us who work here are sick and tired of not making the numbers and are worried that only a very small # of people come in to shop. I am thinking of finding a more stable job incase they do close but because management keeps saying stuff like “no need to worry” it makes me want to stay working there. Are there any signs to look out for? What month do they usually close retail stores???
