In yesterday's blog posting, we recommended a Wall Street Journal opinion piece on the importance of independently-owned specialty retail shops. Stores such as our family-owned My Favorite Toys at University Mall in the heart of the United States in Carbondale, IL.
We also work hard to provide a personal touch at our online store,www.MyFavToys.com. Although it's a bit more difficult to get to know our customers in this venue, we are often able to provide items for special occasions. For example, yesterday we shipped a "dinosaur family" ---- two green T-Rex puppets and a hatching baby dino from Folkmanis Puppets as gifts to a customer in Indianapolis. A young customer in our brick-and-mortar store is pictured above admiring this family before we shipped them!
This morning, our last four Collectors Series Saturn V rockets from Action Products International blasted off to Lexington, KY, where they will become centerpieces at a wedding rehearsal dinner for a young NASA space program designer. Pretty neat, huh?
Just two reason why, when customers browse our store and muse, "Wow, you must have the best jobs in the world!" we just smile and nod yes!
