I am backdated

I was surfing the net for ideas and went through some really impressive websites, blogs and Facebook pages. I wonder how can I ever reached that standard. It is almost perfect, with the designs and impression they created. I was embarrassed to say that our webpages are so amateurish even though we spent quite a lot of time trying to do it up. Can anyone recommend some help?

I am seriously not a tech savy person and a complete handicap when it has to do with computers. I can use Words, check emails and internet, that's it. I think I have develop a phobia of working on a website or creating a facebook page. To me, it is so complicated. I am not sure if there's anyone out there who is as afraid as me. In this business, I have to do marketing and to reach out to our customers using media of this form.

We just started so we hope to deserve a chance to make some mistakes. Thanks for your patience with us.

Welcoming the new arrival- Fendi

Here are some of the Fendi collection in the shop, starting 1 Aug. Some are classics design such as the MIA series, and others are the new collection of simple shopping tote for everyday causal. Personally, I like the new collection design. We love the direction Fendi continues to take with their handbags, bringing back classics with bold colors and stylish finishes.  Somehow the shopping tote bag looks slim, and it creates an illusion when I was carrying it- I looked taller and slimmer. It's subtle, no double FF monogramme all over.

The Mia series are popular. I don't particularly have a strong inclination towards monogrammed but when it comes to this Fendi Mia, I could easily fall in love with it. The shoulder straps are not shoulder- friendly, but somehow I love the way I looked when I am carrying it.
Somehow some bags are like fashion accessory, it does not have to play a bag all the time as in the functional sense! It just have to look good when it is on us and that's it!

Anyone going for a $20 Prada?

I chanced upon a page that read " 99 per cent off". On a closer look, it's a Prada shoulder bag for $20.50( no further details given), which is about 1 % the retail price. It must be a desperate call for such a sale. Below are some of  my guesses for such desperate sales

1) for publicity- using cheap cheap sales, but nothing really worth getting.
2) It- is- ok -to- spend -$20 -on- a- mistake mentality. A lot of people will be lured to go and find that they wasted the time cos there is nothing to buy.
3) Clear stock- can't get rid of these bags anyway, $20 is better than $0.
4) Playing psychological games on consumers to see their reactions as a group-deindividuation ( People in a group tend to do stupider things as compared to an individual such as frantic buying)
5) A study on consumers patterns and laugh at how stupid we can be
6) To kill competitors in a wrong way

In my opinion, I don't think I will waste my time fighting for such bargains. I will be better off spending that $20 on food or drinks then to get an item that I will not even take a second look at it.
I dont think I will feel good carrying a $20 Prada bag!

We are in Facebook

We are finally connected  in Facebook. We hope to bring updates to our customers and to let people know us better. How can we be selfish and not share the good deals we have in our shop with more people?  We were hestitant to start at first as we were afraid that we may not have the time to manage the sales and social media. After much consideration, we decided to have a go at it, to be more connected to the outside world, to bring you all updates from our shop. We are waiting for our website to be up next.

Do check it out: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Thedeborahshop/173940086005020
