Making Changes

As many of the regulars know, this shop gets re-arranged on a regular basis.

The shelves remain in place, too heavy for my puny strength and besides, I like the way they are set up. The artwork, books and gift-y type items are moved at least once a week. It was time to work a little more diligently on the blog here so, of course, that includes changing up the template and playing with colors and pictures and stuff.
Been here a little over three months now, people are getting to know there is a bookshop in town. Several lucky souls have saved themselves a trip to the mall or to Canandaigua since they decided to check out the 'new' shop in town. Many visitors are passing though or just here for vacations, the selection of local books, art and information has been a draw... they tell their friends who tell THEIR friends...
Still working on better advertising, articles in three local papers, coupons or ads locally and flyers have been my go to options. These are working in a limited fashion. My internet presence is on Facebook and the website, http://www.macksky.com/. Its a very slow process attracting more views and fans. Heavens to mergatroid! I don't even have any followers on this blog. Sad.....
Must. post. more. often.
The next level is to have readings and/or signings but deciding when and how to draw as many people as possible has held me back on scheduling an event of that nature.
Any feedback would be most welcomed!
