[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 316810, member: 1233"] Will you accept mail for customers who are not home? Offer mailboxes so people can use that for their address instead of a PO box? LOTS of people here, esp the college kids, have mailboxes at the franchise store that does this in our town. When packages come they don't have to worry about places who don't ship to PO boxes. It makes mail order purchasing far easier and they don't have to skip class/work to accept packages or worry about other people stealing them. Will you have the USPS pick up at your store or drop stuff off to them? Will UPS and other services pick up from you, or do you have to take stuff to them or make special arrangements? I am sure you have worked that out, but I am curious. As for names, I need time to think. At Christmas you could have a Santa come in for a few afternoons. He could "take orders" and then parents could leave a gift at the store so kids could come and pick them up. You could let parents bring in items and/or offer a few items they can choose and pay for. You could offer the Santa for free if they have their own camera or offer a picture from a digital camera for a dollar or three. Then put the pics on a site that they can order copies from. Just don't put names and take it down in January. Speedy Shipping Service Can't think of other names right now. offering a desk and wifi where they could send an image to your copier could be very lucrative. If you have a small place to do Santa Pics, you should also consider doing passport photos. If you choose to do pics on other occasions PLEASE don't get live bunnies or chicks. So many of them die after they are used for this. Esp the ones who are colored for the occasion. I find this totally creepy and icky. But a person dressed as the Easter Bunny could be fun. You could even give away small packs of crayons and a coloring book you print off. There are a LOT of free coloring pages on the internet. Put your name on them and off they go. [/QUOTE]
