So I was tasked to increase sales at MartialArtSmart. I launched an updated logo, which missed deadline due to our management and IT by two weeks. I designed a promotional campaign for black friday week - did you see it? Yeah, it didn't happen. The Jr. Claw left on a cruise with his family and the remaining crew wasn't able to pick up that dropped ball. Now I'm tasked to get some new stock, but not from our PRC suppliers.
MAS has been getting some odd items lately - fantasy swords, cheap cheesey crap, wall-hangers - from this supplier in TN (our east coast office/warehouse is in TN). It's one of those suppliers that makes the Knife Channel look like PBS, complete with a section full of 'Trump gifts'. srsly. But our on-site table vendors do really well with this crap. It moves at tournaments really well, and the mark-up is exorbitant because tournament customers tend to be impulse buyers and don't realize they can get the same thing online for a third of the price. Don't tell, mmkay? So I just spent the morning slogging through their site, finding some new potential items.
Such is my last day before the T-day break, surfing past Trump bowie knives, looking at silly ninja weapons, survivalist gear and GoT swords, and making a MAS xmas list, all while listening to my mom make horrible hacking noises (a bad habit she's developed), bark unfinished orders (like 'don't forget to get the stuff'), and watch that ridiculous ER reality show (today's episode was about some asian stoner dude who got his johnthomas stuck in a camp stove, and no, I know what you're thinking, it wasn't me). It would've been fun if PPFY was with me and we were MST3King said weapons, but all alone, it was a rather painful process.
At least my coworkers pay their taxes.
