Time to rebuild - catch the bug and fly !

   

Hey Everyone - 

Over the last couple of years we, David and Christopher, have tried to revamp the Ladybug Shop in a few ways. Adding new product ideas and expanding the product choices to more than just the ladybug, with more turtle, frog and butterfly items. Needless to say, it didn’t work. The additional product choices were of no interest to our loyal ladybug customers. So, like any person, home, or business. When something isn’t working, you change it, possibly getting back to basics and reverting to a process that did work or opting for another progressive idea.

We’re doing just that. Since we are the Ladybug Shop, we will now be selling only ladybug items, with a few turtle exceptions. Having said that, you’ll start to see many of our ladybug friend items with deeper prices cuts on the website.  Our hope is to sell these items off and put the funds toward filling our stock room with new ladybug items as well as bulking up on popular items and items that have been out of stock for some time.

We will also be venturing out to create a stronger social media statement, create a better newsletter, makes some changes to our website and most importantly, develop a better relationship with our customers.

In the past most of our customers have been somewhat – one time shoppers – we’re hoping to change that by touching you more times. Sending you additional sales information – touching base with you via email – asking for your input on ways to expanding our product base and offering you additional sales codes in your purchase packages.

We currently do our best to provide you with good customer service – we will now be offering you AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE – we will be calling or emailing you, letting you know when to expect your purchases, offering you additional sales codes and asking you what you would like to see on our website. We want to hear from you. We want to get to know you and for you to get to know us.

So, Ladybug Lovers, let’s all get ready to catch the bug and fly !

Thanks again,

Christopher and David

As always, thank you for stopping by, and supporting us. As a way of thanks, mention this blog in the note section of your order and we’ll give you an additional 10% off on your already discounted sale. This discount does not include shipping charges.

All discounts will be taken in house and you will be called with your new purchase price.

Ladybugs, Turtles, Butterflies and Frogs, Oh My!

Hello Everyone -

Just to jump into it. Last year we started to offer Butterflies and Frogs, along with our typcial Ladybugs and Turtles. For some reason they didn't seem to go well. We, added the items to the website, placed them in our newsletter and on all of our social media locations. It didn't seem enough, there just wasn't that much interest. Which surprised us. We had had several customers and followers ask for just these items. So, after some soul searching, we decided to stop ordering the items, mark them down and cut our losses.

But then it came to us. Maybe the reason why we didn't get the bites that we thought we would is because, well frankly, you're all Ladybug lovers. To that end, we thought that we would give the Butterflies and Frogs just one more chance and start to change the focus. The idea is to give each their own landing page, blogs and newsletters. It's going to be some extra work, but we're hoping that it will be worth it. So - in the next few days, look for some added requests to follow the other pages and take a moment to look at the new lines.

Have a GREAT day everyone - and as always, mention this Blog and we'll give you an extra 20% off your entire purchase. All adjustments will be made in house so don't be alarmed when you don't see the discount. Just make sure you use the note section to mention this post.

Be well,

Christopher and David

Back to Basics and Fundamentals

 

Hello Everyone –

Well the Ladybug Shop is in transition. We gave the shop on Madeira Way a good try, but the customers just weren’t there. The walk-in traffic was fantastic – the buyers not so much. AND – our landlord played a little “I’m going to raise your rent $200’s” game with us – soooooooo – we’ve decided that the Ladybug Shop needs to just rely on its online customers for a while. It’s best all around – and you have to come to a point when you say to yourself, “this just isn’t working” and pull back for a bit. Not forever – just a bit. Besides - $200 extra a month is a big sticker to meet.  So we’ll be concentrating on getting back to basics and fundamentals online – really focusing on Facebook – Twitter and Linkedin. Trying to upgrade the website – be more consistent with the blogs and newsletters.  And develop the relationships we have there and hopefully build new.

Speaking of getting back to basics – we also have decided that, as much as we enjoy the frogs and butterflies – they just didn’t do as well as we’d hoped. Which means that we’re marking them all down and will now only be offering ladybug and turtle items on our website. Make sure you visit www.ladybug-shop.com to check out the items that we’re discontinuing.

Now – with these new changes we’ll be able to really focus on fulfilling some of the goals that we placed on ourselves at the first of the year. We wanted to create some specific art for the shop as well as write a book series and we wanted to upgrade the website – possibly creating an app. We’ve been so busy chasing our tails that we haven’t had time to even start those projects. The hope is that now that we’ve downsized – the time and inspiration will come. Wish us luck. =)

Well – that’s all for now. We hope that you’re all well !

Christopher and David

As always – if you mention this blog post in the note section of your order we’ll give you an additional 10% off your purchase – not including shipping yet on top of any other discount.
