ANNOUNCEMENT: Plan B ~ Storewide Inventory Liquidation SALE!

As you know, we recently retired and closed The Baby Store Plus.  Our plan was to sell the remaining inventory on ebay as time permits over the next several months, but just like all good (or not so good) plans, sometimes they don't work out the way we hope and we have to move on to Plan B.

It seems that ebay has made so many changes to their selling rules that it makes my head spin.  I began listing some items there and just got very frustrated with the way things are running now, not to mention that the fee's for sellers has increased so much that I can't keep the price of the items as low as I wanted to, and therefore I couldn't give our shoppers as good a deal (or steal) as I had hoped to.

SOOOOOO, here is Plan B:

~ Over the next couple of weeks I am going to add our remaining inventory back to The Baby Store Plus website at or below cost.  I am not going to go back to work like I did before, instead I am going to ship only one day each week.  I have chosen Wednesdays as the one day each week that I will process and ship orders.  I don't think waiting until a Wednesday to have your order shipped is too much to ask, especially since you will be getting the items at wholesale prices or below.

*Note about shipping days: In the event that we will be away on any particular Wednesday, I will ship all current orders prior to our departure, then I will post our anticipated return date on the website, just below our header image.  I will then ship all new orders when we return, and resume regular Wednesday shipping schedule again.

~ I am going to charge a flat-rate shipping fee of just $5.00 for ALL Orders, regardless of the total.  This will help to cover a small portion of the shipping fee's that we will incur to ship your order. I feel that this is reasonable and fair, especially if you purchase lots of items because you are still going to save way more than you would shopping anywhere else.

~ I will be doing an inventory count of each item as it is made available on the website...this means that if you see it listed on the website, you know for sure that it is available at the time of purchase, with the exception of if you and another shopper both buy the same item, at the exact same time...then only one of you will get that item, but I will notify you via email if this happens.

This is your chance to really save some hard earned money on your Christmas Shopping!

Please, Please, Please, share this with your friends, families, co-workers, followers, & fans.  We want to move the last of this inventory out as fast as we can and I could really use your help to do that.

We have Officially Started the Countdown to Closing...

.
It's official.  Today we began the countdown to our store closing.  September 30th at midnight will be the last possible moment that you can place an order.  Our webstore will turn off all listings on October 1, 2011 at 12:01am.  We will then process and ship our last orders on that day.

I feel mixed emotions, from excitement to fear, from anxiety to relief.  I am afraid that I wont know what to do with myself because I am so use to getting out of bed at sunrise and going straight to my computer to check and respond to emails, then showering, heading to the store and filling orders.  Most days I don't even think about lunch unless my husband insists that we take a break and eat.  This will be a huge adjustment for me, but a welcome one too.

My first activity is going to be to make a trip to see my father in California.  Yesterday he had a stroke and today we are only just beginning to see signs of stabilization.  I feel horrible being so far from him at this time.  If his condition gets any worse then I will close the shipping department down for a few days and fly out to be with him.  Today I told him that he needs to stop this being sick stuff :) at least until October 1st when my retirement begins so I can come and visit him without constraints on my time.  His 73rd Birthday is October 14th and I want us to spend that day together.  I have always been a 'Daddy's Girl' and it is killing me to not be with him now.  Thank goodness that my sister and brothers are all there in the same city with him.

So there at the top of the left column is the Official Countdown Ticker.  When the time runs out, I am heading to California to spend some quality, unhurried time with my dad. Get your bargains now, while they still exist...once that ticker runs out, our listings will all disappear forever.

No Coupon Codes Required ~ EVERYTHING in the Store is Marked Down 25% to 50% OFF!

After much debating, studying our website visitor stats, and conversations with our friends & fans on Facebook, we have decided to totally revamp our Going Out Of Business Sale.

We found that most of our shoppers do not like using Coupon Codes for a discount on the total purchase because it means that they either have to figure each item before it is placed in their shopping cart, then keep track of the total as they are shopping, or they have to go through the trouble of starting the checkout process multiple times to get to the end where they enter the coupon code (or codes) to find out what their total is.  Sometimes the total would be higher than what they expected or budgeted so they had to go back and remove items from the cart -which they found kind of disappointing.  Or they might have found that the discount was so great that their total was now just under $75, which meant they had to pay the Flat-rate shipping fee...or add something else to the cart, re-figure the discount code, and hopefully fall just over the $75 total so they got Free Shipping.  All of this figuring and re-figuring was tiring, frustrating, and sometimes disappointing to our shoppers.

Another issue was trust.  Our regular shoppers who we have gotten to know over time, trust that when we say 25% off, they will actually get 25% off at checkout.  Not like with some online stores that say you get 25% off, but once you get to checkout the discount is lower, or not at all, because of certain restrictions written in the tiny print.  It seemed that new shoppers to our site didn't really trust that they would receive the full discount so they kept going through the checkout process to verify that they did in fact get the full discount, then they would go back to shopping.  We noticed that most of the shoppers that we had created a relationship with in the past, usually only went to checkout once...at the end...because they already knew that we were honest and had no fine print that might reduce or eliminate the discount when they got to checkout.

This was all proved by the extremely high number of abandoned shopping carts by our shoppers since we began the store sell-out about 2 weeks ago.  We could see the shopping patterns in our website stats tracking that clearly laid out this scenario being played out time and again. So frequently, that we were concerned that there was a glitch in our system that was causing these shoppers a problem...nope, it was our Coupon Code process that was causing the issues.  Most shoppers want to know what the Sale Price of each item is before they put it in their cart.  They want to know while shopping, when they have reached the $75 minimum required to get Free Shipping. They want to enjoy the process of shopping at these deeply discounted prices without needing a calculator nearby. 

So yesterday we deactivated all coupon codes and I spent at least 9 hours going through our website changing each and every product listing to reflect the sale price for each product! Now when you are shopping in our website you can see the original price and the New Sale Price!  As you add items to your cart you can see your shopping cart balance.  You will instantly know how much everything is going to cost you before going through the checkout process (entering billing and shipping addresses, telephone, email, shipping preferences, etc.) You will instantly know when you have crossed over in the threshold of FREE Shipping.

Yes, it was a tremendous amount of work, but our valued shoppers are worth it!  The results (shown in our stats tracking) prove that it was worth it.  Our abandoned cart issue is back down to the normal range. Now shoppers are browsing the store, placing items in their cart, making quantity adjustments as needed, then when they have purchased everything they need and want, they just check out in one quick moment.  No need to keep going back to adjust the cart value up or down because they have seen the running balance all along the way.  I think this gives the shopper more control over their spending, not to mention confidence that they are getting the prices that they expected.

So...No More Coupon Codes!

Now when you are shopping in our GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE 

    ~ You will see the Exact Sale Price listed.

    ~ You will be able to check your total each time you add or update your shopping cart. No hassles!

    ~ You will know the instant that you qualify for Free Shipping because you will see when your total goes over $75.

    ~You will be able to stay within your budget without the need for a calculator or pen & pad.

So go browse the store...

EVERY SINGLE ITEM

has been Marked Down!

Mark Downs at 30-75%!

If you find something in the store that has not been marked down, let me know!  I am only human and might have missed an item or two...we do have over 700 product listings and most of those listings have multiple variations within each listings.

***A Reminder about holding items in your shopping cart!  Our system does not remove items from available inventory until the time of payment.  Therefore if you put things in your cart with the intention of completing your checkout at a later time, please be aware that another shopper can still purchase those items. Before checking out, be sure to refresh your shopping cart to make sure that everything that you wanted, in the quantities, colors, sizes, etc, is still in your cart.  You may need to make alternate choices as items sell out.

We are GOING OUT OF BUSINESS to Retire!

.
When we first opened this business, the hope was that we would get it to the point of being profitable, then turn it over to my daughter, then my husband and I would then retire.  Well, things didn't exactly turn out that way.  First, our small community could not support the business so we created the online store as supplement to the brick & mortar store, but quickly realized that they are basically two separate business and therefore required two owner/managers to oversee each of them.

Then, my daughters life took her in a different direction and I was left running two full-time PLUS businesses.  We then closed the brick & mortar store that was struggling so hard.  I did not have time to devote to it since I was running the online store.  Meanwhile my husband was still working towards our dream of retirement.  He had semi-retired, just taking on small jobs here and there to keep himself busy while he waited for me to finally retire too.  We had even bought a big 5th Wheel that we were going to take off in on for our Retirement Adventure...but here it sits in our yard...waiting for me as well.

So I had to make some tough choices.  As you get older, each day becomes more valuable because you begin to wonder just how many more days you have left.  I want to enjoy my remaining days to their fullest, and that means I had to choose between running a business that requires 10+ hours a day 6-7 days a week or start my retirement while I am still young and healthy enough to enjoy it.

Retirement Won.

So we have begun the process of shutting down our store. Our top priority right now is to eliminate our massive inventory...some of which is not even listed in our online store yet!  So to eliminate the inventory I have had to make some configuration changes on the website to get everything ready.  All current coupon codes have been deactivated and I created a Single Coupon Code that will be applied to Everything in the Store.  We want to encourage our shoppers to help us move the inventory so we are going to start with a Storewide 20% Off Coupon Code. We also have set up our shipping configurations so that every order will be charged a single rate of $6.95 no matter how much you purchase...this is to encourage you to buy as much as you like since you will not pay more than $6.95!


Well, that's all I can think of to tell you right now.  I appreciate your understanding of our decision and hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity to help us get going on our Retirement Adventure, while getting some really great bargains for yourself in the process!  We will continue to provide you the personal customer service that you have come to expect.  And I will do my best to get your orders shipped the same day as we have in the past, however with sales potentially getting really busy, it may take me a little longer to process orders, but 1 business day or less is still my goal :-)

Thank you for being such a great part of our business over the last (nearly) 4 years.  I have made some wonderful friends through this store and I hope to start meeting some of you in person when we get on the Road to Retirement in 2012!!!  

Use Coupon Code: "Retire2012"

for 20% Off of Your ENTIRE PURCHASE!

Gift Card Holders: If you currently hold a Gift Card...Use It!  Once we close the store for good any outstanding gift cards & eGift Card Codes will be invalid.  To use your Gift Card just enter the code on the back of the card as a Coupon Code at checkout.  You will be able to enter the Code above and apply it, then enter your Gift Card code and apply it.  Note...if your gift card leaves you with a zero balance, our system does not know what to do.  It will still ask you to select a payment method and enter your credit card number.  To avoid that, simply select Paypal as your payment method, then when the new page opens at Paypal, simply close the page.  I will receive a notification of your incomplete payment order and see that you had a zero balance.  I will process your order as if you paid so don't worry.   You will receive an email with a human confirmation from me when I have received notice of your order so you know that everything is okay.

I really HATE it when that happens! No Problem...we can fix it!

***If you received an email of this post today (8/28/11) I am sorry.  I don't know why Blogger sent it out again...very strange.  

Have you ever placed an order in an online store then immediately after you hit the 'Submit Order' button you remembered one more thing that you meant to order?  If you go back and order that one other item, you get charged the full shipping charges all over again?  I have, and I HATE when that happens!

Just like every other aspect of my business, I run it the way I wish other online stores would run theirs.  I treat my customers the way I wish I was treated.  And this situation is no different.  We just had this situation with one of our shoppers and I wanted to share it with you, so that in the future if you have this happen to you, you will know that we can fix the order...No Problem!

A few days ago, one of our shoppers made a purchase in our store. Right after she completed her payment she realized that she forgotten to order something.  The item that she wanted was not in our 'Stuff Shipped Free' category so she knew she would be charged another $6.95 Flat-Rate Shipping fee if she ordered that one other item.  She thought her only alternative was to either pay the double shipping fee's or cancel the order and start all over again.  She sent me an email asking me to cancel the order so she could place it again and get All of the things that she meant to get this time.  


I explained to her that all of that hassle was totally unnecessary.  If she knew exactly what she wanted to add then I could just add that item to the order and adjust the order total to reflect the additional item, then she would not be charged any extra shipping fee's and she would not have to go back in and place the order all over again.  

OR...

If she wanted to browse around and maybe added a few new items, then I would just hold her first order open until the second one came in.  If she incurred a shipping fee on the second order, then I would deduct it from her order total before shipping the two orders together.  (we can do that because we do not capture the credit card payment until right before we ship...just for these kinds of situations).


Another scenario that occurs often is a shopper either has trouble placing an order online, or is not comfortable ordering over the internet.  They know what they want, but are apprehensive about shopping online.  No Problem!  Just give me a call (970-570-7833) and I can take your order over the telephone.  I am never too busy to assist a shopper.  If I am not at my desk (our store phone is a cell so I could be anywhere at anytime) I may have to call you back as soon as I can get to my desk, or I can take down your order on paper then process the order when I get back to my office.  All of which I do at least a few times a week, and I do not mind at all :-)



So you see, any situation can be fixed...just contact me as soon as you realize that you need to make a change or need assistance with an order and we'll take care of it.  No Problem! I am probably the most easy-going business owner you will ever meet.

Okay, maybe not this easy-going, lol.

Have a Wonderful Day!

Another Great Review of The Baby Store PLUS & a chance to score a $25 eGift Card too!

Laura of New Age Mama recently had the opportunity of shopping in our store with a $25 eGift Card that we provided her so that she could fully experience our store from the shoppers point of view.  She checked out lots of products in our store and finally decided to use her card towards the purchase of a Chic Shopping Cart Cover by Babe Ease.  She chose the Black & White print because she has a toddler girl now (see Willow pictured below), and she has a new baby on the way, so this cover will get double duty whether its a boy or a girl!

Willow (daughter of New Age Mama) using her Chic Shopping Cart Cover by Babe Ease that she purchased at The Baby Store Plus.  Protecting her from icky germs on a restaurant high chair.

All of our Clean Shopper Shopping Cart Covers &

Clean Diner High Chair Covers by Babe Ease

are currently On Sale for 15% OFF!

Pop on over to the New Age Mama blog to read what Laura had to say about our store.  While you are there, be sure to enter the giveaway for a chance to Win a $25 Baby Store Plus eGift Card of your own.  If you are new to The Baby Store Plus then this prize will give you an opportunity to check us out yourself.  If you have already been shopping in our store then I bet there is something kind of special that you have been looking at, and a $25 eGift Card would probably go a long way towards paying for that special something.

I would like to send a special " Thank You " to Laura for the great review.  We knew she wouldn't be disappointed in our store, but it is sure nice to actually read just how pleased she was :)

Newest Arrival: Wellements Organic Gripe Water for Colic

I am so excited about this new product. I have used this product with my grandson when he was an infant and I just L-O-V-E it! He inherited really bad reflux from his father, so as an infant he would get an upset stomach so easy. If we did not leave him an a semi sitting position after breastfeeding then he would vomit. If he got hiccups, then he would vomit. As a brand new baby, if my daughter accidentally ate something that passed through her breastmilk with unpleasant effects, my poor grandson would cry and cry for what seemed like an endless amount of time, then he would finally burp and/or vomit and stop crying.  Then we discovered Wellements Gripe Water for Colic and it saved the day (and weeks and months too)!

Wellements Gripe Water For Colic is made with Organic Ingredients and contains No alcohol or sucrose, it is all natural and pleasant tasting too. Gripe Water is a time-tested supplement from Europe. It is an old world formula that has been used for over 100 years to ease the discomfort of babies with gas and stomach upsets, hiccups, and even teething. It can be administered with the included dispenser, or mixed-in with a bottle of Breastmilk, formula, or juice.

More Information on Gripe Water and Colic
Gripe water is a traditional remedy that has been passed down through generations. The formula combines ginger, fennel, and chamomile to provide ease for symptoms such as:

• uncontrollable crying
• fussing
• sleeplessness
• teething
• hiccups
• gas

Each serving of Gripe Water offers relief for up to 4 hours. Gripe water is also safe for adult consumption for the relief of gastrointestinal discomfort and can be helpful in soothing symptoms associated with everything from chemotherapy to traveling.

About Colic
The cause of colic is unknown. However, many believe it is due to an under-developed nervous system, or gastrointestinal problems. Approximately 20% of babies get colic, which equally effects males and females regardless of birth order. Generally, colic symptoms appear in babies around 2 to 4 weeks, and lasts for 3 to 6 months. Signs of colic include uncontrollable, inconsolable crying for more than 3 hours, several days a week.

Advice from a wise grandmother (me)...every new mother should keep a bottle of Wellements Gripe Water in her medicine cabinet just in case her baby needs it. Don't wait until it's needed to purchase this product. There is no need to allow baby to be in pain and discomfort and both of you loosing sleep when such a simple, all-natural remedy is available. Each bottle has a shelf life of well over a year, and lasts for up to 6 weeks once the bottle is opened. Be prepared...order a bottle today. We will promptly Ship it to you within 1 business day and even better...We'll Ship it for FREE!
