What? Honey Grove Botanicals...For Sale?

I have so much information to share as well as some special offers for you. So, let's get started!

Yes, we're being a little cheeky and a bit ambiguous with our subject line. The truth is, we foresee we'll be discussing it a lot and we want to get in front of speculation and rumors before they get started. The property owner of the building we lease as our storefront has informed us they intend to sell. Soon, there will be a 'For Sale' sign out front, which we expect will lead to disheartened and curious concerns from our loyal customers and folks saddened that yet another small business will be shuttered. Honey Grove Botanicals and The Little Black Chair will be here through the process and expect a smooth transition once the property sells.

Honey Grove Botanicals is excited to announce our partnership with wom Mobile Deals! Now our customers can receive time sensitive text ads from us through their cell phone, iPhone®, iPad®, Droid®, lap top, desk top, and more. Visit our website at http://honeygrovebotanicals.com/

If you are a small business owner, you know how costly advertising can be. There's no assurance that your ad is going to be seen by your target customer. The public is more mobile than ever and relies heavily on their mobile devices. In the last three months Apple® has sold over 20 million iPhones® and 9 million iPads®. Google's Android® is quickly catching up. Time sensitive text advertising has taken push marketing to a new level. Like me, you've probably been approached by companies offering text advertising. The high monthly fees and per text charges make it tough for small businesses to compete. I chose wom Mobile Deals because they understand small businesses want to get on board with this new marketing, but unlike the big guys, we don't have big advertising bucks to spend. Every dollar spent must create a return. wom Mobile Deals charges no monthly fee, there's no contract, and the text charge is per received text, not sent text. Other companies, I learned, charge a text fee for each message sent out, regardless of whether your target customer acknowledges they received the message. I like that there's no time limit on my text offer. I can customize my text offers. Whether I want to offer a 3 hour special or a 24 hour special, it's my call. This product would be perfect for restaurants looking to fill lunch tables on slow days or for businesses like mine, eager to promote a new product. Want to learn more about how your business can use this new advertising method? Visit our website at http://honeygrovebotanicals.com/ and click on the advertise on wom Mobile Deals button.

Speaking of our website, we finally knuckled down and did some much needed renovation on it. I admit I am not tech saavy and our site looked pretty outdated. We've added links to our Facebook and Twitter pages, a link to sign up for our newsletter and mobile deals. We've also added a link to my equally outdated and unused blog. I promise to get back to blogging and hope you will check it often for updates. So please, feel free to visit our new virtual home and let us know what you think. http://honeygrovebotanicals.com

We're a little behind on promoting our back-to-school featured products, so we're extending the specials and hope you'll come in soon for best selections. The Little Black Chair has adorable handmade hairbows and hairbands and charming Scrabble® tile necklaces for the back-to-schooler. And for back-to-school moms, The Little Black Chair has many colorful dishes and vintage pitchers for after school milk and cookies.

Normally $11.99, you can now pick up a Lilac, Lily of the Valley, Chamomile and other spring and summer scented soy candles for just $6.99. Summer clearance candles will be specially marked. Hurry!
