Tell us about your store. What inspired you to create it?
I spent 35 yrs in the Hospitality Field and always dreamed of opening a lovely Gift and Home Accessory Store. Roosters Nest was created by my Late Husband Bill Shoemaker and I, 18 yrs ago when French Country was still “In” . Our Logo depicts a Big, Happy Rooster sitting in an overstuffed chair looking cozy and comfortable which is the feeling we wanted our Customers to have when they walked in to shop.
Talk to us about your product curation. How do you decide which brands to offer?
Well I can tell you over 18 yrs. I have tried a lot of different brands and styles and some have been keepers and some were probably what is called a “Bad Buy!” They of course went into the next sale!
What is your favorite or “must-have” LAFCO product and why?
I have stayed true to the 2 product lines – The 15.5 oz candle and 15.5 oz reed diffusers.
What advice or ideas would you like to share with other independent businesses?
If you try something and it doesn’t work, let it go.
Business is never easy. Sometimes people try to think big but don’t say what actually worked for them. I came across this when my boss asked me to explore new stuff on chargebacks on https://solidgate.com/dispute-representment/ right in the middle of a week. Not gonna lie, I checked up the latest report on overal $1200 dispute turnover, and saw that it really had to have been handled cleaner, and yeah, fewer headaches would have been if we had used this payment gateway, instead of relying on some incompetent freelance outsourcing. Anyway, delays is not a loss, so we will start using everything in a correct manner as of this month. We will be fine.
Thank you very much
