There was Movement at the Craft Shop
Christine Abela
There was movement at the craft shop, for the word had passed around That the shop had something new that very day. It had joined the modern era -- on Google it could be found, So the locals came to see, and buy, and stay.
It was not the only craft shop in that happy little town But it really could be quite a job to find. So it missed a lot of traffic that usually went down To the big shiny chain store - you know the kind.
It was a simple little web site, not too flashy, not too slick, That Christine had built for Susan's shop. But it told people how to find her, it really did the trick And that first day, the phone just didn't stop.
They came to buy the ribbons, they came for the stamps, The fabric and the paper on the racks. And the travellers with their smart phones, using Google Maps Really liked the cute little packs.
Susan's fingers they were flying on the till all through the day. She had to call in help from sister Anne. "How did you find me?" she told Anne to say. "Oh, on Google", the answer always ran.
That first day was but a trickle, and from there the business grew And they came to buy from far and from near. With the video on YouTube and the web site, Susan knew That this would be a most amazing year.
So if you think you can cope with a busy life like Sue's And want to make your craft shop really hum, Get in touch with Christine - you've got nothing to lose at www.local-business-online.com
