Bartering is trading goods or services with others for their goods or service. There is typically no exchange of money. I've bartered both goods and services and never had to pay out a dime. And I have bartered items where I did have to pay the difference between what I exchanged and what I received.<br /><br />Here are just a few of the items or servives I have bartered:<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.boutiquedesigned.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=Pre-MadeTemplates"><strong>Web Design Template</strong> </a>received Vinyl Banner for advertising </span><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=MothersBracelets"><strong>Mother's Bracelet</strong></a> received 4 hours time for organizing office/craft area </span><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">10 <a href="http://www.mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=BlingKoozies"><strong>Rhinestone Koozies</strong></a> received sponsor status with a local competition cheer squad to include advertising on t-shirts and banners </span><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=ChildPersonalizedBracelets"><strong>Child Bracelet</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=ChildNecklaces"><strong>Child Necklace</strong></a> received hand painted murals in 3 bedrooms </span><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=BottleCapNecklaces"><strong>Child Bottle Cap Necklace</strong></a>, child bracelet and rhinestone t-shirt received 6 hours of time at a local craft show. </span><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=BabyBracelets"><strong>Baby Bracelet</strong> </a>received $20 worth of SEO work </span><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=BlingTees"><strong>Rhinestone T-shirt</strong></a> received 3.5 hours of house cleaning </span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">So, bartering can be great especially in this economy. You can also use bartering to receive a discount off something like I did on the SEO work for my website. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Interested in bartering? Let me know. I can't guarantee we can come up with an exchange but I don't mind hearing from you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Just drop me an email.

Not sure why I haven't been able to get in the habit. But I'm going to really try. I know, you've heard that before. Seriously, I'm going to try.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">So, what have I been up to? You name it! As of 1/28/2009, I am working </span><a href="http://mysimpleindulgence.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=BlingTees"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>My Simple Indulgence</strong></span> </span></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">and </span><a href="http://www.boutiquedesigned.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=Pre-MadeTemplates&Sub=15&isThumbs=Yes&Thumbs=200"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><strong>Boutique Designed</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">....FULL TIME! You may be asking, what is she rambling about. Well, before I opened My Simple Indulgence I worked Full time for a company called <a href="http://www.accordhr.com/"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>AccordHR</strong></span></a>, based out of OKC, Oklahoma. One year later I opened the brick & mortar store but continued to work Part Time for AccordHR. So, needless to say, I was quite busy. I never felt I was giving my business my all because I was splitting my time. Just think about it. For AccordHR, I was working 20hrs a week but from November till January I could work 30hrs or more because of Open Enrollment. You know, OE. When employees elect their health and benefits coverage for the upcoming year. I would have to go out and visit my clients and hold OE meetings and sign ups during my businesses busiest time of the year! Plus don't forget I have a family, which includes 3 girls who all have some sort of extracurricular activity, a hubby, 1 dog, a home (that needs cleaning), extended family and friends. And some where I had to find some time for me. LOL</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Anyway, now I'm focused on posting all those wonderful new designs to my online website and all the other To-Do I haven't had time to do.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Oh, did I mention <a href="http://www.boutiquedesigned.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=Pre-MadeTemplates&Sub=14&isThumbs=Yes&Thumbs=200"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Boutique Designed</strong></span></a>? What is Boutique Designed? Well, it's an online Affordable Web Design business I started in 2008. It all started when I was helping other site owners with problems they were experiencing with their online shop. I honestly don't remember who the first site was I did <a href="http://www.boutiquedesigned.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=WebsiteMaintenance"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>web maintenance</strong></span> </a>for but I do remember the 2ND, <a href="http://www.2friendsribbongifts.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=PersonalizedTravelMugs"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>2Friends Ribbon Gifts</strong></span></a>. Cute shop and I love Karin! She is such a joy to work with. My next site was <a href="http://www.threesweetpeas.net/"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Three Sweet Peas</strong></span></a>, a resale shop located in Loganville. Then my first web design after re-designing My Simple Indulgence and creating Boutique Designed was <a href="http://www.thewillowtreegiftsandmore.com/"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">The Willow Tree</span></strong></a>, also located in Loganville. Since then I have designed several more sites you can find in my <a href="http://www.boutiquedesigned.com/store/WsPages.asp?ID=1"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">portfolio</span></strong></a>.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">Okay. I think that is all I have for today. Wow. This post is long! Guess I don't have too much trouble blogging. </span>My Simple Indulgencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712033718889541914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19255180.post-89583144451362171432008-04-11T12:57:00.005-04:002008-04-11T13:17:42.341-04:00MS Walk: Atlanta ~ April 12, 2008<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Tomorrow is the big day!!!

So much has been going on.<br /><br />We moved our location to Main Street in Loganville. It's in the heart of Downtown Loganville. We increased our retail space from 1200 sq feet to 1600. We have added baby, children and young adult consignment clothing. We also added a new addition to our staff, Stephanie. She is a great help! She has quickly learned how to make beautiful jewelry.<br /><br />Lately we have been having beading parties and classes, which have been going great! We set up a booth at Suwannee Days for the first time this year. There was a great response to the jewelry especially the custom pieces. Sold quite a few of our doggie necklaces. The one I remember that was the cutest was for a dog named, Pwecious.<br /><br />Upcoming events are Loganfest - October 21 and Brookwood Tip Off Craft Show.<br /><br />Be sure to come out and see our new location. Located at 261 Main Street, Loganville, GA 30052.

It's pretty funny but so true. It's amazing to me how companies survive treating their customers the way they do. Do they not realize that we can take our business elsewhere?<br /><br />Isn't it funny when you call a customer service department and you get a recording, "Your call is important to, please continue to hold." And then you hold for who knows how long.<br /><br />Clark Howard says, "customer no service!" Isn't that the truth.<br /><br />I recently had a bad experience with a customer service department with one of my vendors. Can you believe they told me that it wasn't their problem that my order was wrong? Well, excuse me. They even told me they don't accept returns. Then can someone please explain to me why I have this yellow paper in my shipment that says I have 30 days to return my items?<br /><br />If there is one thing that people will get at my shop is attentive, friendly, helpful service. Why? Because I respect my customers. I make it a point to greet every customer who comes in our shop. I follow by asking if there is anything special they are looking for. We strive to satisfy our customers. I have a policy that if my customer is looking for something I don't have, I will do my best to get it for them. My return policy is clearly posted and very easy to understand.<br /><br />There are 3 things to help yourself get treated right:<br /><br /><ol><li>Complain - either write a letter, call or send an email to the manager or owner</li><li>Be nice yourself - how will it look if you are raising your fists and raising your voice. Sometimes we, the customers, are not always right.</li><li>Take your business somewhere else - You have so many choices where to shop. Why give a company your money who isn't taking your business seriously.</li></ol>My Simple Indulgencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712033718889541914noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19255180.post-1136581301633812022006-01-06T15:57:00.000-05:002006-01-06T16:01:41.796-05:00Reintroduction - My Simple IndulgenceMy name is Luana Fortner and I own a boutique in Loganville, GA called, My Simple Indulgence. We are not only have a brick & mortar location but also are an online retailer and home show boutique. What sets us about from other boutiques is the uniqueness of the items we carry.<br /><br />We have local ladies who consign their handmade items in our boutiqe. To name a few from Women of Gwinnett, we haveDarla Dixon - Portrait & Illustration, Patti Owens - Scrubbles Soap and Crystal Brown - Crystal Creations.<br /><br />Our Home Show Boutique is new for 2006. We are very excited about this new venture. We bring our store to your home. It's a nice way to shop from the convenience of your own home with friends.<br /><br />Our Online Boutique has been going since we opened our doors inAugust-05. We feature some of our local consignors on our website as well. It's helps people get a little taste of what our boutique in Loganville has to offer. We are diligently working on adding some of our new products. So look for us online!<br /><br />A little bit about myself: I'm a mother of 3 girls and have awonderful husband. I love to make jewerly and read books.<br /><br />My Simple Indulgence<br />http://www.mysimpleindulgence.comMy Simple Indulgencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712033718889541914noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19255180.post-1136411602957034542006-01-04T14:37:00.000-05:002006-01-04T16:53:22.990-05:00Happy New Year!Okay, I know it was 4 days ago but hey better late than never.<br /><br />Well, 2005 will be a year to remember! So much happened this past year. It just seems like yesterday when we opened My Simple Indulgence but it was in August. I can't believe we have been open now for 5 months! Wow does time fly when your busy.<br /><br />When we opened we only had 2-3 consignors and we now have over 10. Some of our consignors make custom bows, children's clothing, handbags, quilts, jewelry and artwork. I love working with each of them. There are quite a few new consignors who will be in soon. A majority of the consignors are WAHM's. The shop was not initially going to be consigning but there are so many talented WAHM's out there. Now, don't get me wrong we do offer items from vendors such as Ganz, Two's Company and C&F Enterprises that are great too.<br /><br />This year is off to a great start. There are several new features in the works. Our first item is we will be offering home parties. The hostess will receive several rewards for having a party. We are very excited about this new part of the business. And there is so much more to come.<br /><br />We are looking forward to year 2006.My Simple Indulgencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712033718889541914noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19255180.post-1132938460916098062005-11-25T11:37:00.000-05:002005-11-25T12:07:40.950-05:00I Survived Black FridaySo you may be asking, "What is Black Friday?" Well, it's the day after Thanksgiving and it is one of the major U.S. holiday shopping days. Black Friday was when retailers went from being unprofitable - in the red, to being profitable - in the black.<br /><br />My husband and I planned our morning last night by thumbing through all the retail fliers. We planned on being at Wal-Mart by 4:30am. So, that meant getting up way too early. Luckily we were able to get what we wanted. Next we went to Kohl's and then Target. I made it back home in time to get a little sleep before I opened my shop. <em>Yawning...</em><br /><em></em><br />It's amazing what people do to save a penny. People were even arguing over toys this morning at Target.<br /><br />Thanksgiving Day was wonderful! We spent part of the day with my husband's family and the next part with my family. I ate too much! But who doesn't! I have to say my most favorite dish is the sweet potato casserole. Yummy! Wow, just thinking about it is making me hungry.<br /><br /><br /><em></em><br /><em></em><br /><em></em><br /><em></em>My Simple Indulgencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712033718889541914noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19255180.post-1132783339955768192005-11-23T16:51:00.000-05:002005-11-23T17:02:19.966-05:00I'm just so excited....I am very excited to have begun my new business in August, 2005. We opened and have been doing better than I expected. <br /><br />Owning my very own business has been a life long dream. I owe it to my wonderful husband, David and my daughters, Kali, Hailey and Lilia. They have been so supportive.<br /><br />We just recently added Jumpin' June Bugs to our store. Susan who started Jumpin' June Bugs is a stay-at-home mom who makes "pillowcase dresses". They are sooo adorable!<br /><br />And Susan from Sweet Su Creations who makes our hairbows has been doing fantastic!My Simple Indulgencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712033718889541914noreply@blogger.com2
