Big Move for Abbamart

It's been a busy month for Abbamart! Some days I've worked 15 hours straight just to keep up with orders and customer emails, and also had to enlist the help of a certain reluctant male to pull products and organize them into outgoing packages. It's fun to imagine where we might be in another year - perhaps getting some more paid hands on deck to help out with the volume!

Just a disclaimer now so everyone knows I'm not completely in the weeds, yes, I do know there are two identical 'Bottles and Cases' categories in the storefront. Why the second mirror category manifested itself is a mystery. Maybe it's a miracle? I don't know, but for some reason, it is not an easy fix. Delete one and it deletes both with no recovery. I'd need to build the category again from the ground up, each and every product and all the little nuances linked to it, like quantity available and keywords. So... please enjoy the miraculous appearance of this twin Bottles and Cases until further notice!

Another great bit of news - the taxes have been organized and filed for Abbamart's very first fiscal year (yikes!), and the accountant says my business records weren't nearly as awful as I imagined. One scary milestone conquered and one less anxiety attack for this girl right here.

OK, onto the
BIG DEAL! Abbamart is moving! In roughly four weeks, we're packing everything up and shifting over a couple of states. The store may need to close during that time, but if it does, the information will be posted clearly, and all orders in the system will be filled and mailed before the closing date.

The bad news is that we won't be able to restock any of the items that are currently OOS before the move, but the good news is that the next restocking shipment will be able to be gargantuan so that running low on brushes in demand will hopefully become a thing of the past (or at least a lot less frequent).

I am really looking forward to the move, and to expanding Abbamart to serve its amazing customers better and better as the months go by!
