[amayausers] Re: Store Design

David,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Where is your space?
Before we moved to Olney 9 years ago we lived in South Arlington near TJ 
Community Center.  I have a beautiful unit my dad made to use as storage, hoop 
on etc.  If you are setting up shop it might be worth coming to look at to 
consider.  I would visit several shops (EMBROIDME) and others to see how they 
are operating.  When I went to a conference (NNEP THIS YEAR IN LINCOLN 
NEBRASKA) they talked about putting a LOT of $ into your counter area (moogany 
if you can afford it). It all has to do with PERCEPTION of quality and people 
willing to pay for what they perceive to be QUALITY.
