Urban Contessa: The Outer Fringe

The Outer Fringe

Robi was telling me about some beaded fringe that she had bought for her lampshades. She was intending to trim the shades and add a little bling to the room.

Then she changed her mind.

She said she'd bring in the beads.
Maybe I could make some jewellery with it.
Sure.
Why not.
I never say no to craft supplies!

But this is what she brought in:

Three strings of pretty, beaded fringe.

Are you kidding, Robi?
All this for me?
I'm very excited!!
Thank God Robi changed her mind.

Forget taking them apart, though.
I'm leaving them intact and going shopping for some coordinating fabric.
These puppies are just screaming "table runner".
Oh baybee!!
Fabricland, here I come!

And thanks, again, Robi!

Oh to have a house and a life where beaded fringe equaled table runner and not "future dog/toddler toy turned infant choking hazard."

Urban Contessa is very excited to launch a new look. Not only a new look, but a new concept.

We are revitalizing the lost art of saying thank you. There was a time when business owners thanked loyal customers with a thoughtful gift. Sadly, what was once a common courtesy has fallen victim to the hurried existence we all seem to live. A thoughtful gift of thanks tells clients that you care and will have them rushing back as return customers.

Thanking your clients with a small gift of appreciation does more than show you care. Let's face it—you want repeat business. One of the easiest ways to do this is to ensure your clients remember you.

To make certain your customers return, your business needs to remain in their memories. Thank them for their loyalty with something they will see and use often. Each time they use your thoughtful gift, they will remember who gave it to them and the positive experience they had with you.

Even better, when their friends comment on it, and ask them where they got it, your clients will pass on your name. There is no better form of advertising than a recommendation from a happy customer.
