Retail Sales of Products

I spoke with Kate at the Frontenac Missouri, Williams- Sonoma store Monday to follow up with her from our initial meeting. She was very receptive and passed along my information to the regional manager as  I stated before but the real shocker was she asked for a stack of business cards. Luckily, I had  about 10
in my wallet, of which I had to replenish them ASAP. How cool is that!

Also, My ducks are getting in their rows so to speak, meaning I talked to a couple of production wood turning shops about production runs of wine stoppers and coasters. Very promising indeed.

Choose from any wood species and stone combination you want and we will fill your order in 1 to 3 days. Hurry while supplies last! clik the etsy store link in the upper right hand corner of my website homepage.

Since the retail market is the place to be to make this venture of mine profitable, my latest step was to contact Macy's Department store. I sent off a few photo's in digital format to a woman in the housewares division of the purchasing department for her review.
I should hear from her soon.
All the best,
Mark

Soon I hope to have some or HOPEFULLY all of my products in the Williams-Sonoma stores. Macy's, Nordstroms etc will be on my list as well. I will still be hosting a website and selling on line.

Here are some samples of my wine stoppers. Please be aware while the photo's look good the stopper held in your hand looks unbelievable.

This is The Queens Headdress made from Padauk, from Africa. There is an
Ice Sworovski crystal  on top.

This stopper I call The Mushroom for obvious reasons. I made this one from Leopardwood
from Australia. It has some very cool looking speckling on it. Especially on the top. The crystal is the same as the top photo but in Emerald green.
