I must say The Eyeglass Room gives me a fuzzy warm feeling every time I open my door on a morning, I look around, straighten up from the previous day, put on my Harvey Sheldon Philly Radio station, turn on my led window lights, computer on, orders ready to give to my courier who arrives at 11 and I'm ready for the day.
Then I'm wondering what the day will bring, a flash mob of spectacle hunters or a rake of sales people (oh how I hate to say no all the time, but one must be brutal to make this work). I have decided to take a count of my customers and visitors and see how the trends go, Thursdays seem to be the day that's most quiet, I wonder why that would be?
This week has been a fabulous one though and it's not over yet, brought in a very sharp Esprit frame for a business man, I didn't even have time to photograph it as he loved it and ordered it, so off it went to be made up for him.
A lady who hasn't had a new frame for 6 years and who is very particular and discerning happily decided on a classy Guess frame, it was the first one she looked at and after getting a frame in that she had seen a couple of years ago, she went with the one I showed her first, amazing how often that happens!
One local man stopped by for a little adjustment to his new rimless specs he bought from me a few weeks ago, I was happy to hear he is over the moon with them as is his wife, she is enjoying her first time with her new Transition lenses, no more messing about with a sunclip for them and cheaper to boot.
Tomorrow I have a few customers who will be stopping in for their new glasses to be fitted, I love to see the finished product sitting on a smiling face! :)
Waiting for the next installment!
